Misfits arrived
with one small hiccup, one egg broken, which resulted in a refund of the dozen. There doesn't seem to be a way to refund just the damaged one.
The unboxing setup isn't on the counter, which was occupied by the makings of spaghetti, but crowded onto the little island.
Lunch was in the works on the counter
Simple sauce, diced tomatoes, fresh basil, chili powder, grated Parmesan
Two meals' worth of this radiator-shaped pasta.
And the cabbage, some of it, even a small head is a lot, will become a cabbage casserole, a new venture for me, worth a try.
And the current artwork is moving along. I switched to 26 gauge steel wire for this piece, not wanting it to be too conspicuous.
I like very much how the yarn can take on new shapes, and sit up unsupported.
So here's a trial of related pieces.
This changed several times before I took the photo, and will probably change more before it's done. The pieces are still all separated. More playtime will happen.
I'm thinking of another copper wire piece to add. We'll see.
Speaking of seeing, remember these daffodils in bud a couple of days ago
Here they are this morning
Sweet smelling, just lovely. My neighbor came running over to admire them and catch up. She and Gary want to help me separate iris.
Lots of luck. We'll need a chainsaw to get through them! They got ahead of me and haven't flowered in years. They don't when they get crowded and the pachysandra covers the rhizomes. They like to be exposed to light and air.
Happy day everyone, it's good to know when roots should be preserved and when you have to cut em off.
And here's a gift to give yourself. Go here
Brunello Creatini's YouTube channel, to hear this star operatic soprano still performing, wonderfully, at 96.
It's not "good, considering"! It's good at any age. Such breath control, range, strength, beautiful tone and passion. Just go there. Squillo in action.
