Monday

Pretty much a normal day for my new normal. I got up and went outside fairly early to water the gardens. First I shook slow-release plant food beads over the plants in the flower gardens and then watered. Our newly planted plants continue to do well despite the rather hot tempertures. Today it got to 93°...rather warm...though humidity didn't seem as oppresive as it sometimes does. I had a little helper. The little boy, who lives in the house where Nathan, Kathy, and family used to live, likes to come over and walk around with me...sometimes holding the hose. Today instead of holding the hose, he decided to roll over the hose with his little tractor or go under the hose when I made a bridge with the hose over his head. After I watered, I ate some breakfast and then gathered things to write a few more thank you notes. I got those out to the mailbox before the mail carrier came today. After lunch I decided that it was time to rest as I was really tired and had a headache...so I had peace and quiet for a while in my recliner with the fan blowing a cool breeze on me. I came a little closer to actually being ready to make the small pillows out of the cross stitch pieces that I have spread out on the cutting table. I decided to add one more to the group and found some fabric for the backing for it. Now to just go ahead and cut out the pieces to the size for the little pillows that I am going to make out of them. I "might" make one this evening after I blog. I just need a little motivation...not a lot of "get up and go" these days! I went to prayer meeting this evening. We have chosen to meet a little earlier on Monday evenings. We'll see if that helps or not...we did have one more than last week, but out group was once again scattered so several couldn't come. I came home and ate some supper and got the kitchen cleaned up and have come upstairs. Today I have just been so tired and felt a little "off," so I am ready to settle in a bit earlier than usual, though I may do a few more things up here. I did clear another of Woody's dresser drawers out yesterday. So have been shifting a few things of mine around. I'm still working on organizing the sewing closet in my sewing room. I have some ideas...now to find what I want to get the most storage use out of that closet. Tomorrow I plan to do a bit of galavanting with Jo and Carolyn...to be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
