Daily Notes- July 23rd

The Avocado Pit.

Has a new pot.  Has a new spot. 

On the counter by the sink- under the last remaining skylight in the kitchen.

The Coffee Plant is a companion.

Both plants seem to be enjoying the constant SKY brightness.

The Avocado is now 14 inches tall and has really big green leaves.

I have a dishwasher but haven't used it to wash dishes in -- perhaps 4 or 5 years.

Being just the two of us and not doing much cooking- hand washing is just fine.

We used to fill the dishwasher until there were no dishes in the cupboard and then wash.

I pitted the entire bag of cherries yesterday and then found a strip of cloth and set the wet juicy cherry pits

out on the cloth to set color there.  I had hoped the pits would make "dots" on the cloth. They did not.

Why did I pit the cherries?- I like eating them with my yogurt for lunch but taking the time to pit them?

Somedays that does not work out so... pre-pitting.

And I also discovered pitted cherries in the fridge last longer and do not de- compose.

I was up in the Magic Attic yesterday looking for two tablecloths to send to a friend.

I found the cloths but also some very odd (old) green printed fabric.

I am looking for a musty yellow green. 

Not finding any.  This new cloth could work backside up. But perhaps too yellow.

My sweet fern and copper water did not eco dye "earthy green".

I have another nice piece of dirty tan/brown with a yellow tinge. And marks from the string I tied it with.

I guess I need to keep looking for a small old copper pot.

Or perhaps wrap the cloth around copper pipe.

Any ideas or suggestions out there???
