After working in the yard for a couple of hours, I came in and spent the day getting laundry caught up, and putting the guest room upstairs back together. Everything had to be washed, dusted and swept. I really need to scrub the area rugs in there and I might get that done to day. We will see. I tried not to have a frantic pace at what I was doing. I just enjoyed getting things back into place.
I do have 4 rugs that need to be cleaned and I usually take a pot of hot water and dawn dish soap out to the deck where I scrub spots and the rug over all with a brush and then I hose off the rug with a high pressure hose and let it drip dry. This really works for rugs that you cannot put in your washer.
Today I am going out front to pick up at least 10 bags of oak leaves before I start on trimming again. I have decided to get a few hours a day into the yard and then sew later in the day if needs be. I will have to get some sewing done this afternoon.
I can't believe it will be November in 2 days. I will need to pay bills, and get some monthly goals made.
I want to make Halloween cookies for Hub's old office and I need to make cupcakes for the church Halloween party and my dance students.
Right now I desperately need a diet coke.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
Hubs just read to me that Coca-Cola corp. had a bang up quarter....I told him you deserve all the praise for helping them surpass their quarterly goals. hehehe
ReplyDeleteYEs I am sure I have something to do with their Dow earnings. I am so powerful.
DeleteHello Kim, I can't believe it is nearly November either!! I do not know where the year has gone to!! Like you I try to spend a few hours outdoors in the mornings & then come inside to my sewing. I like to break the day up into sections like this - it makes things seem more achievable. I love your new shoes in your last post by the way. Thank you for your visit to my blog & the lovely comment you left me. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love the intricate work you do on your creations. Your detail amazes me. I wish I was good at that kind of work.
DeleteYears ago, when we were searching for houses in the PNW, I pointed to a fence in the yard of one of the houses we were viewing and said to the realtor "Oooh,we could plant blackberries along that." The realtor's jaw dropped, her eyes grew wide and she said "Oh don't do that!" Now, I know better than to sit in my garden bench in the summer without
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny. It would be like planting Kudzu down south.
Delete...lopers at my side so I don't get attacked. I swear you can see them growing. (Sorry, kid's new kitten jumped on my keyboard and sent my message before it was finished.)
ReplyDeleteDang those animals that want to type.
DeleteI'm odd man out here, but I adore blackberry bushes. When we lived in the mountains, Obie and I would walk miles every day during the fruiting season, picking bucket after bucket of berries, then bringing them home and processing them for the freezer, cooking with them, and just eating them fresh. I still have some bags in my freezer almost three years later! I have planned a patch at the very back of my property, where they will be easier to control. Good for you turning down a 'pain' customer! When I was a full time massage therapist, I had one client who drove me right up a tree. After months of misery, I simply stopped being available for sessions.
ReplyDeleteYep that works. Hubs parents have a blackberry patch of thorn less black berries.
DeleteVery great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your weblog posts.
