Just A Lot of Boring Information

I am back to that old saying I am so far behind I thought I was first.  Yet, here I sit at the computer working on my blog.  I just thought it was time to take a break.

I still have boxes of quilting “stuff” stacked up in my living room.  They will probably stay there until I get my she shack.  On my dining room table is my sewing machine, small ironing board and iron, along with the Christmas quilt and supplies I am working on.  Also in my dining room are two tv trays with items stacked on them.  All of which constitutes work.  Then there is my new work table which has quilting items stacked on it which I still have to work to do on them.  Then there is a box of mail and items I brought from Cincinnati and have been throwing in there since I got home.  I really need to go through that.  I also have another stack of books and paperwork stacked on the floor that I need to go through.  I am sure there is some work hidden in there.

I haven’t done any outside work yet.  Thank goodness Ryan pulled the weeds in front of my deck and around the azaleas.  That might not have gotten done until next year.  I have looked around a bit and found that the Franklin trees are doing great.  They are growing and looking healthy. The rose-of-sharon bush is blooming.  This is the one on the front corner of my deck.

The lantanas look beautiful.  I have seen butterflies flitting around and feeding on them. In fact, it looks like all the trees and bushes have survived, even one that I thought had died last year 😊  This includes the two small forsythia “sticks” that I planted in front.  The one hydrangea bush is looking good, but the small one that has been through a rough two years is alive but not very big.  The three tulip poplar trees that we planted in the spring look good.  This includes the one that the deer have been eating the new leaves that grow on the bottom of the trunk.  I did lose my weeping willow that was in the front yard.  Kevin said it snapped during one of the spring storms.  I also lost the golden raintree. 

God Bless Kevin!  He mowed all the grass both front and back.  Now if we would just have some rain.  However, it looks like we will be doing some watering.

I spent all day yesterday working on my Christmas quilt.  I would like to have it ready to go to the quilter by next week.   I have been also working on it this morning. 

Okay, back at the computer.  It is now Friday.  The Christmas quilt is ready to go to the quilter.  I still have to make the binding, but that shouldn’t take too long.  I have also started some embroidery projects that I have to do because they are Christmas presents.  I bought a regular ironing board at Walmart the other day, and it is now sitting next to my work table in the dining room. 

All the suitcases and duffle bags have been emptied and the clothes put away.  However, they are all sitting at my back door waiting to go to the shed.  This also includes Penny’s travel carrying case.  If anyone tries to break into my house, they would kill themselves.  Every door and window has something blocking it. 

Wednesday I went to the dermatologist.  Renea recommended that I call the same one Kevin goes to.  I did.  I really like him.  He froze three spots that were pre-cancer.  One on my ear, one on my nose and one on my cheek below my eye.  He burned a spot on my forehead.  And, he removed two skin tags.  I can now wear my necklace made with my diamond from my engagement ring.  One of the skin tags was right where the necklace laid on my chest and kept getting caught.  Thursday I had bloodwork done.  I am in the process of getting all these doctor things caught up. 

I guess I should get back to doing something constructive.  Back at y’all later.
