Makin' it Monday


Although I consider myself a non scheduler, I've adjusted things a little, both in order to change up my in the house Covid schedule a tad, and becuase we are  into the summer days (today it is 92).

After my normal quiet time in bed in the morning routine and breakfast, I am wandering outside right away and knitting (or whatever, but usually knitting right now). Today it was for closer to an hour and a half. Then I'm heading back inside for the quick pickup and whatever needs to be done housewise (of no more than fifteen minutes or so usually) and my thirty minutes of no impact aerobics, plus whatever the rest of the day calls me to do, which I'll talk about later. My phone reminds me to get up and move after about an hour and I use those ten minute increments to do any house stuff remaining. And I can exercise after I'm dressed for the day because it's Colorado and I don't sweat and I shower in the evening.

Today, as most days, things are mainly quiet then, with some murmurs here and there. Behind the tree lined fence to the right my neighbor was watering plants while talking with her grand daughter, sister was watering and being one with the lawn and garden, and the dogs were, mainly quietly, sharing their opinions on whatever animal they happened to see.

Hearbreakingly, said view also includes the empty tree, which apparantly developed full out fire blight between last fall and now. 
You can see the finished fence on the other side of ours. Their yard is obviously much lower and our neighbors sit on the balcony on the second floor so you can understand their fishbowl feeling.


Not the best outdoor photo but you can see the shawl progressing past the half way point.  It will have to be blocked out in order for the lace to really show. Have to have a Friday finish post.

While this yarn does not look exactly like the picture on this post, the recipient loves the yarn and especially the little patches of blue.

Obligatory photo of dog stretching to full length while keeping his eyes out for any visiting rabbits or squirrels (or birds). And yes, my sister is trimming the grass around the "hose" that takes the gutter water away from the house since my son just mows around it.




A new quilter plus  non contact discussions and sharing means that I while I htink the pattern is pretty, I want more quilting. So I'll be throwing this into my machine and quilting around the patchworks squares and border to finish! Another Friday finish and one of those needing to be quiltd quilts down.

And because there must always be multiple projects waiting in the wings, these are the two magazine ideas I picked today for fabric that is on order and headed my way.

  1. It is a shame about the tree. You never sweat or don't sweat due to not moving about lots outdoors? Ten minutes of housework so often is about my speed for being capable of work.

    2. Dear Barb, tell me about not sweating. Was out in Colorado about 30 years ago. It was like 105 in the shade. Didn't feel hot, not like Pennsylvania's summers - let alone Georgia's. Glad i had the sense to have a cooler of water and sodas with me.

    3. Yes we may not sweat like it DC but that cliser to the sun thing by a mile can do ya in. And you have to hydrate all the time. I take a 20 oz glass of water to bed with me.

  3. I cannot imagine going outside in the summertime and not sweating. It has been so warm and humid here lately that sometimes I wonder if I need to grow some gills.
    Your shawl is lovely!

  6. A shame that the tree was overtaken by the blight. I suppose you'll have to have someone take it down, or perhaps your son can do it?

    Your handiwork is so lovely. I'm almost inspired by the last photo, my daughter would love it, but I've never quilted in my life.

    Take care and stay well!

    1. Yea, this will require a pro, nit an amateur. If there is one tree I will rely miss its this one because of all the shade and privacy it offered the upper yard. The quilt was actually not that difficult.

  7. I can't wait to see the finished shawl. Your yard looks really nice. I bet your sister likes having the extra time to spend on it.

  8. Sad about the tree. Does it need to be removed, or may it recover?

    1. Tis a dead dog and removal has to be careful so the blight doesn't spread.

  9. So sorry about the tree. We have a cedar that seems to be dying off from the top down. Will wait until the fall and then probably cut it down.

    God bless.

HIV/AIDS cannot be cured through drugs and injections,but the best way to get rid of HIV/AIDS permanently is by taking natural herbal medicine for it,and If getting HIV cure through drugs and injections was that easy then why do a lot of people still suffer from HIV?. i was diagnosed of HIV back in 2015 and i was also told it has no cure, i have been leaving with it since then, but i keep praying and doing everything possible to get cured, but i never stopped doing my research about finding a cure, till i came across testimonies about people getting cured through herbal medication, and i have always believe in herbs and its medical properties, after doing so many research about it i found out,Dr. James was the one who cured them and i discovered he was a professional in herbal medication and he has also helped and cured many HIV/AIDS patients, i contacted him, we talked on phone and i confirmed he was genuine herbalist Doctor, i did all he told me to do, after 2 days of contacting him,He told me the cure is ready and he sent it to me through FEDEX Express courier service ,The medicine got to me in 3 days time, .

  11. My joy has no limits, I never thought that one day I would live on earth cured of this virus. I have suffered from this deadly "HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS" virus for 5 years. I spent a lot of money on drugs and going from one hospital to another, the hospital was my most visited place where constant monitoring was my hobby not until one day I decided to share my situation with a very close friend of mine and she was very upset with me for not telling her since she knew about a doctor called Dr Sani who helps people cure their HERPES. quickly I contacted his email: perfectherbalcure@gmail.com which was given to me by Carolyn, just to give him a test, I spoke to him, he asked me to do some things that I did, he told me he was going to prepare me and send me a herbal cure which he did and afterwards I received it and after using the herbal cure within 2 weeks and days I was totally healed, had to go back to the same hospital that I went to before. confirm my recovery and here is my doctor confirmed me negative, so today I am here to spread the good news of my life about how Dr Sani saved me from the nightmare and the HERPES VIRUS outbreaks. You can contact him by email: perfectherbalcure@gmail.com or Whats-app: 2348118184266. If you are still suffering from this deadly virus ... I believe you are going to be happy and feel alive again as I am in this moment.

  12. I’m here to testify about what Dr Oseremendid for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr Oseremen on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr Oseremen prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as Dr Oseremen assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact Dr oseremenfor help via dr.oseremenvadi@gamil.com or whatsapp +2349056394313
