Didn't get a whole heck of a lot done yesterday.  Was able to cut down some small wild cherry trees that were blocking my view of the pond.  Then it was RoundUp time.  To those who oppose it's use, get over it.  I have to use it in order to keep some places under control.  And right now there's only me here.  At any rate it finally got too hot to do anything more.  My headband was soaked by the time I got through, as was every piece of clothing.  I won't get anything done today since I'll be going into the gallery.  By the way I sold a couple of pairs of earrings the other day.....yay.  I know my check this month is going to be small but that's better than nothing.  At least I sell a few things every month.  It does add up eventually but I sure am glad I don't have to rely on the income to live.
It's gonna be another hot one today.  Kinda glad I'll be inside at the gallery.  Don't know what I'll get done today.  I did post a picture of my latest project on my facebook page.  I'll see if i can figure out how to do it here.

  Wow!  it worked! 

Y'all have a productive day and remember:  Get involved....the world is run by those who show up.

She's home

Daughter and family are home.  They had quite a week and some adventures that you can read about at http://kyddryn.blogspot.com .  Unfortunately the adventures didn't stop there.  Yesterday they found out that the "disposable" diaper liners that are "flushable" aren't so flushable after all.  I received a call from daughter telling me that she was doing a load of laundry and......... (maybe the floor at least got clean).  A few hours later I received another call, this one from the nice man who actually came out to check things out.  It seems that when the septic tank was emptied last year in May, the requisite 4 - 6 inches of sludge containing all that good bacteria was not left behind sooooooo there was nothing in the tank to eat up whatever was put in.  And those "disposable" and supposedly biodegradable nappy liners just sat there taking up room and eventually they and more paper floated to the top thereby blocking the intake pipe, etc., etc.  I see a lot of RidX in the future.  And no more nappy liners down the toilet.  It's also recommended that they flush twice just to make sure the paper goes all the way into the tank.  Seems the new "water saver" toilets may save water, but aren't sufficient always to get everything to the tank on the first flush.
Okay, now that I've spoiled your breakfast, lunch or dinner.......
I'm off to get rid of some wild cherry treelings so I can see my pond from the kitchen window.  It looks like I may need to go down to the pond but I can't really tell because of the wild cherry stuff.  If it isn't too hot I'm going also to the garden to do some more weeding so I can plant the tomato and pepper plants that are now on my porch in their little pots. 
Y'all have a grand day and remember:  Freedom of speech means freedom to disagree.

It had to happen

Daughter called about 10:30 last night.  They are on their way home and guess what.....one of the trailer tires blew, taking the fender with it.  When she called they were near Winston-Salem, limping along the side of the highway with the flashers on.  Luckily they found a well lit gas station next to a tire store just off the highway.  The gas station was still open and allowed them to "drop" the trailer overnight.  They were going to find some place to sleep then return to the station and tire store in the morning.  It's gonna cost me but I'm glad they stayed safe.  Daughter will call me this morning and let me know what's what.  She sent me a picture via phone of the poor tire and wheel.  I'm thinking that the wheel is going to have to be replaced also.  It was pretty crooked from being driven on for a ways.  If need be I'll tell her to leave the trailer there and come on home.  We can go get it later in the week.  I'm going to tell her to have the tire store check the other tire also, just in case.  I tell you, if it isn't one thing it's another and if they had any luck at all it would be bad.  But like I said, at least they weren't hurt.  I see a spare trailer tire in the future.
Reckon I'd better get a move on.  Y'all have a grand day and...don't get even, get ODD.

It's Sunday.  Not that it makes much difference what day it is.  They've all begun to run together and if I didn't have a calendar on the fridge I probably wouldn't know what day it is, was, or will be.
Think I'll get the rest of the quilt top finished this morning.  The one I started the other day.  Don't have to be at the gallery 'til noon. 
Did get some weeding done yesterday morning.  The squash plants have blossoms on them.  The okra looks like it's struggling.  Only a few inches high.  'Course the soil hasn't been amended in years and probably doesn't have much in the way of nutrients in it.  Oh well.
Y'all have a peaceful day and remember....what you haven't started you can't finish.

For some reason I thought yesterday was today.  Must be a time warp thing.  Left the gallery early and came home and took a nice nap.  After I cooked some snow crab legs for dinner.  Put those in the fridge, then took a snooze.  It rained again but at least it wasn't a violent storm.  One of these days I'm actually going to make it out to the garden to pull some weeds.  The ground should be soft by now.
I miss my daughter.  They should be starting home tomorrow.  I'll be glad when she is home. 
Am off to the gallery for another (no-sale I bet) day.  Did some work with copper yesterday.  Maybe I'll be inspired to do more today.  Hard to get things done when nothing is selling.
Y'all have an interesting day and think about this:  Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition this it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.

I'm off to the Chevy dealership this morning to have the rearview mirror put back on the windshield.  It got so hot here that the glue melted and the mirror came off in my hand.  Geeeesh!  After that it's off to the gallery.  We had no sales yesterday.  Hope today is better.  This can't keep up or we are going to have to close, which would be a shame.
Y'all have a safe Friday and......remember who you wanted to be.

My driveway is a river and the rain is still falling.  It's rained since about 4 a.m...Not a gentle rain, either but a hard rain.  Looks like it'll be around for the rest of the day.  Hope the ground was able to soak it up.  Although we've had rain this past week I'm not sure the ground has softened up enough.  I'll have to get out to the garden soon or the weeds will choke what few vegetable plants there are out there.
There's a hole somewhere in the overflow pipe in the pond.  I heard water flowing the other day when I went down to check if it needed clearing.  Don't know where it is, just hope it isn't near the bottom.  If it is I won't have much of a pond left and trying to fix it is not in the near future.  It would be too costly.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Heard from daughter.  Apparently things are not going well in Ohio.  One of her friends died Monday and sales have been very poor.  They've had rain nearly every day and that keeps folks away.  I miss her a lot and can't wait  for her to come home.  I think they'll be starting home on Sunday.  I was really hoping that she would have a good income from this event to get her motivated to do more but......
Well, need to get going.  Will be at the gallery all day.  Bet we don't get any customers.
Y'all have a sunshine kind of day and remember:  if you don't talk to your cat about catnip, who will?
