True to my new early morning pattern, I walked early, very humid today, so, not very far. Then I sat on the patio and noticed a few things that needed doing.
I needed all those plants off the deck, it's bad for the wood, already pests have started underneath. Gary doesn't understand about this so I didn't argue the point when he brought them over. Now I've just shoved them into the pachysandra where they will be fine, as will the pachysandra, it's indestructible. I think he was reluctant to put them on the pachy but I'm not.
The hanging coleus is getting huge, and I retrieved the second shepherd's hook from the storage area where we'd put it after the car flattened it, and managed to get it into the ground to hold the coleus. This only lasted briefly before it fell over. I rescued the plant and Gary reinstalled the hook better.
This left the other shepherd's hook available for the morning glories to climb and gave more space to the hibiscus
And here in context
All this was pretty strenuous and while I was at it, I picked and arranged today's bouquet
Usual philodendron, with black eyed susans, daisies, coreopsis, which is putting up a nice display of flowers on the patio. I like to pick flowers for the house while leaving enough to enjoy while I'm outside.
I need to clean up the butterfly bush and the sage, another day. Today I feel pretty accomplished. Also hot and dewy!
Tuesday is knitting group and I could probably have found a ride, but I didn't, because
This is staying home weather, much as I'd like to see my friends. We've emailed. Meanwhile I made more cordage
and I'm considering the next design idea for the basket, to open up the shape. I'm glad I'm up to considering design and having ideas about it. It means I'm getting past the emotional upset.
Meanwhile ironing needs to happen.
This is an every few months event, but linen does benefit from the occasional bit of care.
And it got it
In other news I got an urgent text from the auto insurer saying my bill is past due. Oh. Must have been missed during the surgery recovery and brain fog time. I ended up paying online with a new password, old one didn't work, and now it's paid. And the new password noted. What do confused older people do? Not well, I'm guessing.
Textiles and Tea featured Bonnie Inouye, a complex weaver using digital as well as traditional floor looms. She wrote the definitive book on multi shaft weaving and is in favor of trying ideas to see how they work out. Great teaching approach. She was wearing her own work, too.
I asked about this shirt and she obligingly stood up to let us see. The picture and sound at her end wasn't great but you get the gist.
Great episode
Happy day everyone, just try it!
Sez Ted and co.
