The day started off sunny, but fairly cool. Now it is grey, windy, and even though the temperature is decent, it feels so much cooler.
I managed to get most of my Tuesday household tasks completed, but haven't gotten the fridge wiped down. I decided to wait until it was slightly more empty before trying to do so. Instead I got my nightgown finished and by the time that was done the clouds had rolled in. No more sewing done, though I may yet do some hand sewing on the jacket cuff. That would finish off one sleeve before the step of putting it into the armhole.
Tonight I will continue knitting, I am almost finished the back of the second knitted tank. This means only two projects carried over into May, and since I have a good start on them they should both be finished fairly early in the month.
Harvey has been outside working in the garden. He has rototilled about 1/4, put up the chicken wire around the cucumber area, and planted his potatoes. On Friday we will be traveling east to a small town greenhouse to pick up our Haskap (Honeyberry) plants and hopefully get those into the ground by early next week. Slowly but surely planting will continue over the next while. The tender plants and veggies will not be planted until after our long weekend.
Budget work needs to be done tomorrow, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to have a good portion saved for the chair pay back. It would be great if I managed to put that back into savings in just a couple of months. I am also hoping to save some money on plants this year and do some container planting of veggies. That will add green to various areas if not pretty flowers. I do know Kris has planted some flowers so I will probably collect some from him.
Off to visit you all before I have to make the dumplings.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Have a great evening
ReplyDeleteA productive Tuesday. Lots of things near done and spring planting on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteBad weather blew into our area -- but we avoided the worst. Only instead of cold, it got a lot warmer!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to save in the garden by dividing and begging. I do have gardening friends who will likely be splitting. I also got a large bag of Burpee wildflower seeds. So that will make good filler. I guess Spring really is here?
You certainly had a full day! We're expecting rain tomorrow, so I'm planning to spend a good part of today outdoors, doing garden prep work and moving rocks.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of honey berries, so I had to look them up. They sound like they would be delicious! - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your budget work. I'm sure you'll have the money saved back very soon.
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing great! I would love to have the time to sew a nightgown. How fun!
ReplyDeleteWhen the Resident Chef and I moved into our previous house there were no flower beds at all so we put the word out amongst our friends and family to think of us when they were dividing their perennials. We often came home to mystery bags of plants on the step. That certainly saved us a ton of money and them having to find homes for their excess plants.
