Today was a glorious day. Sunny, low 70's, light breezes. Absolutely fabulous for October! And many things were accomplished by all.
This afternoon, K12 and I cleared out the garden- well, mostly- I still need to get out there with a rake and gather up all the dropped peppers and tomatoes. They made for squishy working out there. Pulling up old vegetation is my least favorite part of gardening but it is one of those tasks that needs to be done.
While we were clearing out the garden, I15 worked on painting the library with primer. Not a perfect job was done but he was much better at the end than he was at the beginning. Painting is one of those things that you just need to learn by experience.
V was working on work for part of the afternoon and then managed to get the new door for the basement bathroom stained. We got a louvered door for the closet in there since there is poor airflow that makes the towels smell mildewy at times. It's one of those things that I've wanted for a long time but we had to custom order it since it's only an 18 inch door. We ordered it back in August when custom doors were on sale and it's been sitting in the shop waiting for stain ever since.
I also managed to get out and about to get chicken feed, bird seed for the feeders and dog food- as well as a few other odds and ends. It was a great day for getting stuff done.
I've still got tomorrow off so we'll see what else I can get done. I do want to spend a little time quilting if I can.
I'm holding you accountable . . . to all of us out here in Blogland. Get thee into your sewing room and do some quilting tomorrow before you have to go back to your away from home job on Tuesday. That's an order! (And please post pictures of what you work on, 'kay?)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Ok, OK! I'll go quilt! But no photos yet. I'm working on my pay it forward projects.
DeleteIt appears that all of you had a busy weekend. Painting, for sure, needs lots of experience! lol I pulled a ton of weeds and stuff out of our back yard garden that had thos hideous seeds that stick to you and the dog, that are a B.... to get off. I've got to get working on my quilt too. It should be finished by now, but I can't seem to get it done...debbie
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hate those stick-tights. I bet it was a royal pain to get those out of Chevy.
DeleteYes, I'm w/Mama Pea, get your bum INTO that quilt chair and get going! (Easily said by the gal who refuses to do another quilt herself)
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you just LOVE it when you're cleaning out the garden and grab a handful of already mostly decomposed vegetable? Squeeessshhhhh.
Or, as happened yesterday, stepping on a squishy tomato and having it explode all over your shoe and UP the pants leg. EWWWW!!
DeleteIt's great to get a lot done and be able to be out there in glorious weather! Ah, yes, squishy tomatoes. Had quite a few of those this year. Hope you had time to get some quilting in - all work and no play, you know....
ReplyDeleteI'm not a dull girl! I did spend some time in the sewing room. Some quilting but a lot of organizing. V moved everything around when he finished the drywall in there last month.
