Honesty harvest, patio update and Misfits

 I took a stroll around the deck early today, before the rain,  and noticed the honesty is ready to pick for everlasting flowers, and the other plants are coming along. 

Wandering dude planted himself uninvited here and in several other places

The potatoes are getting along; that's all of them 

 Look at all the hibiscus buds. Last year there were only a couple 

Zinnias likewise, buds galore 

And here's the first picking of honesty.

I'm giving seeds to my knitting friends, as well as letting some seeds drop where they want.

Here's the first of this year's crop. I love this plant. This is the white and silver corner.

No need to water lately. I had several of these this afternoon 

I think the flooding is not here in town, yet, anyway.

And Misfits arrived anyway, flood or no flood,  the driver in a hoodie so I'm not sure who, maybe Ronald.

Very small shop this week, because I have the makings of spinach quiche when it's cool enough to cook, and chicken thighs ready to roast. And I'm all up-to-date on the food pantry.

Yogurt is a staple, lazy old bread is too, till it's cool enough to bake, shredded cheese for the quiches, shredded because it's oddly cheaper by weight than the block of the same cheese, go figure. 

Lemon juice for lemonade, blueberries to go with yogurt, lovely Envy apples, dried cranberries because it's been a while, potatoes now parboiled ready to roast with chicken in the toaster oven.

If you would like an update on the medical bulletin: I now have the antibiotic in hand,  ready to take one hour before the dentist appointment. That's now set for 8am Monday. Handsome Son is free to take me, yay. 

The reason for the antibiotic is to ward off any potential dental infection, since I have a minor heart valve issue.  Just in an abundance of whatever they said during the pandemic.

And I started a(nother) bracelet using cotton warp yarn, which is working a lot better for me than previous experiments. 

This one may actually become a finished item. Colors green, white and tan, none of which show up here accurately.

I got a picture of two of my donated artworks in their new home. They're really in good hands and being enjoyed.

They're the two stitched pieces, one a mixed media piece, dyed, stitched, with stumpwork insects and animals, one a goldwork design. 

It's a treat to see them in their new home. 

Happy day everyone, honesty rules!
