A little of everything today

Monday, June 11, 2018

I was awake early and up and about before six, which meant I was able to be upstairs sewing by eight. There was a lot going on around here today. I was expecting our Cranberry Hall president to stop in to collect some info she needed and to drop off some info that I needed. Then Pat called needing me to find some equipment for a recording session he has tomorrow. We weren’t sure how he was going to get it; I even offered to catch the ferry over and take them. Fortunately he found someone who could pick them up.

Around lunch I was stitching in the living room because I was expecting visitors at both the front and the back door. The back door caller picked up the equipment for Pat and while I waited for the front door delivery I mowed the lawn and the boulevard. I had to get to the post office before two; I waited as long as I could and then headed out. I had more than a few stops to make and when I got home the parcel had been left at the door.

Since the lawn was looking pretty good I thought I’d tackle a few weeds before supper. I swear those weeds start growing the minute your back is turned. I had a nice chat with our neighbour; she and her family are moving to New Brunswick at the end of the month. She had been given a lovely hanging basket and when I was watering some of the pots she brought it over to me; she said she didn’t have time to take care of it and without water it would just die. It needs some deadheading but I think it will be a lovely addition for the summer; we hadn’t bothered much with flowers this year.

I’m working on cards again today and, after supper, I came back upstairs to do a bit more. I’d best get at it if I want to finish them tonight; I don’t really need to finish them tonight but I’d like to have them ready for hand stitching at the bee tomorrow.
