I went to my exercise class at the church this morning. When I got home, I cleaned off the picnic table and got the benches ready to stain. There were acorns and debris in the cracks between the boards of the table and benches. I used a putty knife and brush to clean them. After lunch, I went to work applying the stain. I did the top of the table, the top of four benches, the bottoms of two benches, and the rest of the landscaping timbers on the east side. I still have the bottom of the table, the top of two benches and the timbers on the west side. My lilies, astilbes, and blazing stars are coming along nicely. Some of the lilies will be blooming soon.
I brought my ironing board and iron down this time. I thought it would be raining for a couple days and it would be a good time to catch up on the ironing. Most of my clothes are down here so I figured I better get the ironing board down here. It rained the first day I got here and I was too tired to iron. I found two inches of rain in the rain gauge today. I forgot to look yesterday.
My sewing basket had disappeared. I brought it down here three or four weeks ago. I though I took it back home but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I looked all over both houses. I thought maybe I put it in a box and something got put on top of it. I looked in all the boxes everywhere. I was walking past the kitchen here yesterday and looked at the fishtank cabinet. I stopped and wondered if I could have put it in there. I opened the door and there it was. I must have stuffed it in there when I was packing the car. I’m glad I found it. It has all of my threads and bobbins as well as other sewing tools such as needles and scissors. My aunt gave me the basket for my wedding shower gift. She also had my shower at her house. She has been wonderful to me over the years.
