Much Needed Rain
The forecast is predicting rain all day, which
I'm grateful for. I've actually had to water the newest plantings every night
for the past few days, a rarity here. We have mini carrots, winter
squash/pumpkins, and another bed of bush beans coming up now. The farmer's
market was a bit slow Saturday, but we sold about half the honey we harvested
(we ended up pulling off between 30-40 pounds - a really nice harvest for us!)
and I'm sure the rest will sell next weekend. I noticed Lucretia and her kids
were a little anemic earlier this week, and was worried about them, but after a
hefty dose of a different wormer they seem to get perkier every day - I'll
follow up with a second dose in two weeks just to make sure we got all the
little buggers! I'm also excited because my mom is digging up the asparagus bed
at my uncle's new house to bring over here - they were just going to tear it
out for their new landscaping - and last time I drove by it looked like a really
big, established bed - if I can get ours planted more heavily I'm hoping it will
keep it a little easier to manage, since the weeds beat us out there every year
right now.
I didn't sell any quilts, but I still have lots of sewing to do this week - a couple of Swap-Bot projects, including a fairy quilt (like a doll quilt but even smaller) and a sock monkey, as well as finishing two alchemy items for Etsy - a watermelon print tablecloth and two zafus. The zafus are just waiting for buckwheat hulls, but we need to drive and pick those up at some point. I'm planning on taking the girls out to run some errands and then hopefully they'll nap so I cna get in some sewing. My MIL gave me her Bernina 1080 the other day, which was a real blessing, and I am slowly figuring out how it works. Still using my mechanical Kenmore for projects, but I'm sure the more I play around the more comfortable I'll get with the new one. I also am going to try to finish a dress she had cut and pinned for Gi, though I may need to go in for open studio time at the quilt shop to figure it out.
Baby crying - I'll check in later....Oh, and Kathy L, let's meet up at the Philly Zoo w/ the kids - what do you say? :)
