So......up early and set the sprinklers on under the peach trees. Listened to the men next door pull clapboards off the house next door. Makes a "pulling" "tearing" "squealing" sound. The dumpster is full. what do they do when they come to outside light fixtures? Get a shock?
They arrive around 7 am. It's now 10 am and so...I have listened to them for 3 hours now. Been awake since they drove up.
The picture above shows me that I can poach cuffs and pockets from other items and sew them to the "needs mending" edges of my sweaters. And mend the patches before adding them to the sweaters.
I found a few finished cloth pieces. Small, notebook paper sized or a bit larger. Binding is on them. So now they are on the mantle above the "unused for 30 plus years" fireplace. And I can notice them. Appreciate them. When did I stop doing such lovely work?
Chad Little came yesterday to pick up the riding lawn mower- did I already mention??? There were a total of six riding mowers on the truck. Room for one more the driver said. Ours needed a new belt for the mower part. Husband uses the machine mostly to pull a wagon full of compostables to the pile out back. But we have the back acres of tall weeds- that need the riding mower. Using the walk behind is tedious.
As they say in Maine- "it'll be back, when it's back".
The Book Store called- I have five ordered books waiting.........and while I am out- I will buy coffee creamer and a quart of orange juice. Perhaps some cherries. Dispose of more income. Husband mentioned I should check to see if I need gas.
We forgot to vote. Yesterday. Not that it mattered. The person I WAS going to vote for got endorsed by Tucker Carlson of FOX news. So........not wasting on vote on that person. Ever. This is a RED state and they try not to let me forget that.........
... 'lovely work' is right...
