Daily Notes- Saturday, April 23rd--- Sunshine and Cold.

 The square and the addition of shirt salvage borders.  I still need to sew that one side on.  I think I was considering this to someday become- a nine patch--inside a nine patch--inside a nine patch etc.  It could still happen with a nine patch added after the borders.  I am also considering that the nine patches- like the center-do not need to be of equal size.

My book yesterday was Jennifer Crusie's Manhunting.   A very successful (lonely) career woman is sent to a resort in Kentucky to "find a man" and get married.  She looks over the eligible men and makes one date per day.  She also naps in a boat with one of the resort owners but she actually thinks he mows the golf course.  Usually after she has too many cans of beer (in the boat) instead of breakfast.  It's an old row boat on the river.  After the morning napping in the row boat she showers and goes on the "date of the day".  Usually the siren on the ambulance alerts the residents that the "date" is over.  Great book.  The other Crusie I ordered from a far away library- awful- I could not get past the first two pages Strange Bedfellows. Ugh. I also didn't care to read Crazy for You a second time.  I have Fast Women and Bet Me. I finished off Agnes and the Hitman- for a second time before returning the book. Crusie Week.

The Wedding Crasher was excellent.  I ordered the author's first book. Another wedding. Something to do with the best man.  I think I have already met the people involved-  eventually she will write a story for each of the main characters as writers do.....

I am almost done with my hot dogs.  I will eventually have to think of something else to eat. I didn't buy bread just because I don't want to make grilled cheese.  I could make steamed rice with frozen vegetable of the day- mixed, corn or peas.  Or I could toss a large handful of the foraged spinach leaves in to the pot to steam and wilt.  Well, that sounds worse than it might taste or appear.

I watered the seedlings in the big fenced garden yesterday.  The beets are up. Tiny with the two seed leaves. I had to hunt down the two French watering cans first-- then fill each twice at the sink in the garage and carry them down to the garden.  Getting the hoses up and running seemed to be over kill.  And the French cans give a gentle sprinkle. The back lawn has been churned up by skunks.  Eating grubs.  It's a mess.  A real mess. And guess what? I'm not going to waste any time on fixing it.  ZERO grass growing projects in 2022.  ZERO.  Someday my friend Allie will drive over with my Tomato plants. I told her whatever she had left over was fine with me. All the varieties were excellent. I need to clean the herb beds.
