Frost Near The End of May

 Yesterday was cloudy and cool until late afternoon when the sun came out. The high got to 15C at 6 pm. This morning it is clear, sunny, and 4C. We seem to have had a touch of frost as I can see it on the roof of our neighbour's house. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 23C. 

Lifestyle

I was less sore yesterday as the low pressure system had moved out. I did have a couple of cracks in bed last night as my SI joint released. I wasn't that sore yesterday so was surprised to hear the loud crack. 

I got the sheets into the washer and took off to the grocery store. My first stop was to get my prescription filled so I can pick it up today. I needed a few groceries to make dinners for the freezer. One item I needed was pimento. I looked and looked and could not find it. I asked one of the employees and he looked. He asked another employee and he looked. He asked a manager and it was supposed to be with the olives unless it was sold out. There won't be any more until they can find a new supplier. 

When done inside the store, I went to the garden center to look for jalapeno peppers. None as they sold out. They will be getting more but they don't know when. I was feeling a bit miserable as it was raining and I was getting cold and damp. 

Once home I made a casserole that I could divide up and freeze. I had never made this casserole before but it was good. I got the kitchen cleaned up and am happy I have meals for a week in the freezer. 

Late in the afternoon, I made my bed and then headed out to cover the marigolds in the vegetable boxes. The onions are looking great. 

We will have a variety of onions this fall. 

Once inside, I checked the cucumbers and each container has one cucumber coming up. I was pretty excited about three plants; one in each pot. 

Sewing

As it was cold and miserable after lunch, I headed downstairs to the sewing room. I played around with the fabric I had left over and made a small bag (called a snack bag). 

I have made three sizes of this pattern; the Everything bag, the Project bag, and the Snack bag. 

I need to buy ribbon for the four bags I have made. There is still some of the Snoopy fabric left and I need to figure out what to make from it. 

I took the rabbit's head off the body and sewed it back on again. It was still turned to the side. I then spent quite a bit of time pinning it into place so the head is facing forwards. 

My plan is to tack the head in place in the front and back then sew it in place. I do like the head centred on the body. 

Knitting

I knit a lot last night -- 39 rounds. The foot of the sock is done and I am ready to knit the toe. 

I was going to buy the pattern for the doll's coat but want to get these socks done. I will be buying it when I start knitting on sock #2. I am missing knitting for the dolls. 

Thoughts

    King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Canada yesterday . They were officially welcomed by the Governor General of Canada before meeting with the Prime Minister. King Charles is going to give the Throne speech to open parliament. The last time the monarchy gave the Throne speech was in 1977. The Governor General usually reads the Throne speech to open parliament.

    I just looked at the cucumber plants as I opened the curtains and I have a 4th plant peeking through the soil. That isn't too bad for old seeds. I have a feeling more seeds will be peeking through the soil and I will have to give some plants away. 

    It is nice to have the sun shining once again. It was difficult to deal with the cool, grey, and wet weather we had for a week. We can put away our winter coats as we will be having warmer temperatures for the next week. 

Today

I need to do the balance sheet, work for a bit in the shed, and pick up my prescription. I want to sew this afternoon and knit tonight. A quiet day with some outside time for me. 

Until the next time.................................................................
