The Good, The Not So Good, and the Ugly

Yesterday was quite warm with a high of almost 29C and when you add in the humidex, it was 36C. Late afternoon, it rained hard for a very short period of time. Didn't cool off either. During the night, it rained and by this morning, it was 14C. 1.5" of rain fell. That is wonderful.

Lifestyle

It was a crazy morning yesterday. The lawn care company came to do weed control and was spraying our cucumber plants. We are now doing our own lawn care and have spent quite a bit of time researching. The cucumber plants are almost dead but we have our fall plan in place. 
I also cleaned our bedroom but have to go back and finish up the floor. It needs to be swept again and washed. With my hip improving, it may become tomorrow's job. 
We had no cases of the virus reported yesterday. People on the whole are following the mandates but there are concerns being raised that social distancing is not being followed outside some businesses. 

Sewing

I made 4.5 meters of piping yesterday and the red is stunning as piping. 
It would look great on any shirt, especially black or denim. 

Knitting

I knit about 10 rows on the first sleeve and am getting down to having it almost finished. I have to say it has been easier to knit it this time. 

Today

As it is late, I have been out to grocery shop at 7 a.m. and down the valley to buy fall fertilizer and home by noon. That was after doing an hours worth of research, which was interesting. I'm now ready for a nap. 
Until the next time......................................
