~ - Subject: So, what is -everyone doing? I yanked some weeds and found strawberry plants that had jumped out of their boxes and blueberry plants loaded with tiny little green berries already!The red raspberry, black cap and the unnamed bush should be crawling with bees and sounding like mini hives and I only saw 3-5 bees in each place.
I've been having the goddaughters and their Mom over on some Saturdays to work on small jewelry projects. They have come to love beads as much as I do.As I was saying above, I'm trying to boho up my apartment with this and that. I need more color in here.
Been taking some Udemy courses, mostly writing-related.
Reading some Kindle Unlimited books, and I found a new true crime show I like. It's a series of documentaries on crimes that happen in small towns where you wouldn't think they would.
Right on vaash, no injuries is a good thing !
We have wall to wall clouds and it's in the low 70's. I need to go tidy up the garden at the end of the house but I just don't feel like it.
well cait~, I decided to work on desk assembly because the weather was poop. With minimal swearing and no injury to myself, the job is complete. LOL. Now I can party a bit tomorrow! Have a great weekend :)
It is my calming place also Mercury.
Outdoor in the sun and breeze is nice.
vaash you will get it done and have fun at your gatherings!
I have been trying to settle into the new place. Slow but sure. I'm literally down to the last box and hope to get that done today. I have a small desk that needs assembly but that isn't mission critical yet. The weekend brings graduation parties and then a bit of relaxation. I plan to make chicken piccata on Sunday. How's that for excitement?
Lots of outdoor stuff on these sunny long days.
I have a whole section I need to weed and put down the fresh mulch. That kind of work is relaxing to me.
Sounds like you are enjoying your retirement Sedentary Celt.A bicycle cart that has watermelon? I wish we had something like that here cory{BI} .. Baron Igor is the one giving the crows bread eh? They are coming to our bird bath to soften them up .. grins
we unloaded delivery boxes and sorted items to bins and then to the appropriate room...this was when all the pantry stuff came...lots of energy drinks and cans of soup, chili and such...didn't get it all...but we worked until we'll be nearly immobile tomorrow...which, unfortunately, doesn't take much...we plan to finish up this part on Sunday or Monday...have shelves to put together too...
a bicycle cart came by...with a horn that sounds like a duck...Baron Igor got us some GORGEOUS chucks of watermelon with Mexican spices...very refreshing...
we wanted beer and hard cider...so i've got Grubhub going to 7-11 for drinks, snacks, pizza and ice cream...
tomorrow i'll deal with some of the light and soft...but awkward...things like (Temu)shirts that were delivered...i got some yarns, too...Joann's has been having a 40% off sale...and some are hard to find...won't use them for many months, but the discount was worth it...
Baron Igor has a small murder of crows that follow him around (he feeds them chips and stale croissants)...sounds like a monster's stomping on the metal porch roof...
He's started writing again...thank the gods...he'd write while i sorted things...then he'd do the heavy moving...even with the wagon it was tricky...then i'd read and critique what he'd written...
i'm gonna get a little drunk and read...maybe The Vampire's Former Flame...it's by a favorite author...Kristen Painter...
Hired a neighbor 15 year old kid next door to my shop for the summer to learn a trade and make some money. Have him doing some organizing...spring cleaning of my shop.Finishing up on a $6,000 three piece sofa two chairs project.
$20,000 simple Interior restoration on a 1964 nomad station wagon started.
Finishing up a $30,000 restoration on a 1969 Chevelle 396ss.
Bringing in a long lost friend on Monday to handle a $20,000 restoration on a 1940 Ford sedan delivery.
After the Chevelle gets done on Monday I put Rob back on the $50,000 1971 suburban truck conversion restoration in black leather.
I have a old 1490's viking chair to restore in a brown distressed leather for a guy now that leather has gotten here from Italy.
It goes on and on you see every day of the week 365 days a year.
I had a day off 12 years ago.
This is what I call "Retirement". 9 to 2, 7 days a week.
I probably yank weeds everyday LOL It's like a filler job whenever I go outside. Our strawberry patch is in a big cage to keep other animals from getting to the strawberries ...we've been getting a handful every day this week! There are little green tomatoes the size of marbles on several plants, and the sweet red pepper plant has a pepper the size of a golfball and several tinier ones!
"Broadstreet Beige" ... what about the trim color Gabrieli?
Have a great time in Frisco... great city!
I think that "Broadstreet Beige" is going to get the nod...laughing
Rolling potential paint colors on the front of the garage and the side of the walkway....
Wine and lake .. sounds relaxing EXEMPLAR.
I do hope you both have a great trip MstrLance.
katelyn and I are packing up for a weekend in Frisco. We're meeting up with the kids for Open Sauce.Wine Lake sounds good too, though!
Wine. Lake.That about sums it up.
