It Doesn't Rain It Pours With Things Happening

I am sorry this is late. My morning has been busy beyond busy. 

Yesterday was another sunny day with a high of 19C. This morning it is partly cloudy and 4C (no frost). Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 20C. 

Lifestyle

I spent a good part of the morning cleaning up the deck. I got the umbrella into the shed. It is awkward and I had to balance it and hold onto the railing going down the stairs. I wasn't going to have it take me out on the stairs. I spent quite a bit of time cutting back the tomato plants and digging out the roots. The pots and poles were put into the shed. I swept the deck and it is done until I do the pepper plants. At that time I will also turn the table upside down. 

I did get warm sitting on the composite decking with the sun shining on me. I am also finding out that doing this kind of work is helping my SI joint also. Though it gets tired, it isn't hurting as much now that I am up and down the stairs, sitting and standing, and moving around. 

Daughter-in-law came over to see me before lunch. We had fun with my list and filled my back pack. I put it on and it is lighter than when I wore it to Sweden. I learned a lot about back packs on that trip. 

My friend came over to visit in the late afternoon. She told me her mom (98 years old) is not doing well and she will be heading to Ontario in the next day or two. Update - my friend's mother passed away this morning and she is leaving tomorrow morning. 

I covered the peppers again last night but there was no frost. Close but it didn't happen. I am trying to get the last of the peppers to turn red so son can use them. 

Sewing

I did some sewing yesterday afternoon. I got the wrap dress cut out and then did some tiny sewing. The strip of stripe fabric was added to the front pieces for decoration. That took some time as I had to do a lot of hand basting. It was worth it as it went on nicely. I got the fronts sewn to the back on both the outer and lining pieces. Then it was time to sew around the neckline. Job completed. 

I tried it on Anika the rabbit. I have it pulled over too far and it fits tight on her at the moment. 

The next job is to sew around the armholes. Then I can make the ties and attach them. Once that is done, I can work on the skirt. It is coming together easier than I thought it would. 

Knitting

I knit on sock #2 last night and have it done to the same spot as sock #1. 

I now know I have enough yarn for the socks. I have about 28 rounds left to knit on each sock before I do the toes. They should be done this week. 

Thoughts

   If it doesn't rain, it pours with things happening in my life. 

Today

I have been out to get groceries while it was quiet. I am heading over to my friend's to be with her for a bit. Then it will be doing a few things here (maybe sewing). Tonight I have a meeting at the hall. 

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