So, I have been out watering twice so far today and it is going well. Don't ask me what this will be like a few days from now.
I set my watch for an alarm every two hours. The first water session took 1/2 and hour the second 20 minutes. I am sure it will get faster after I get used to how to pull the hose and where to stand for the most efficient use of time. My arms muscles are getting a workout.
I did go buy two large watering cans yesterday one for the front and one for the back, plus new sprayers. The old ones were leaky, and I was just making do.
Gaylord came about 8:30 and he has worked out in the garden area. I asked him to come look as I felt the plants were yellowing and crops and seeding, is his line of work. He went to Illinois State for an agriculture degree and spent his career working with farmers. Anyway, my garden problems turned out to be not enough patience. Can you believe that? So, he has cleaned and fertilized and hoed and trimmed and raked. He then moved a bunch of brick that was left over from one of my projects and stacked it out behind the shed. That man is a worker. Kind of reminds me of me... scary....
Went to the eye specialist this morning and I am supposedly 95% cured. I will be tapering off the steroid drops over the next month and then back to see him.
All three grandkids are here and Signe' is going to take them swimming this afternoon. I made pancakes and sausage and eggs for breakfast and then cleaned that up. Tomorrow we are getting ready for Braunwyn's baby shower. It is an eye love Lucy theme. The baby's name is Lucy. I will take pictures we are all dressing up as characters that Lucy portrayed. I will be Ethel.
I completed another wedding dress yesterday and it took me most of the day. I have not started on the next one, but I will after the kids leave. I do my hand work in the family room where the natural light is the best and it makes me nervous to work around three kids going in and out.
So, the next dress in the lineup is an easy one, for which I am grateful. I hope to finish that today and then get to another before I stop sewing. We will see. It is just going to be a busy next few weeks, I can already tell, and that is not counting the yard work.
Jethelyn will be driving in tomorrow to help with the shower. It will be a busy weekend!
What are you plans for the weekend?
God is good
Kim
