All you have to do is step out the door to know that it's August. Foggy, rain-forest looking, hot, green.... Water dripping off the awning and it isn't even raining! Grass needs mowed, but it's too wet in the morning when it's cool enough to get out and push the mower! That's what I get for carving out a 'yard' here on the Hill. And SCHOOL STARTS in a couple of weeks????
I came up with the name for our little patch of IL. "Nearlybroke Walnut Farm"--in honor of all those little walnut seedlings that have sprouted in the unmowed section between the road and my 'yard'! Keith even went so far as to drive stakes beside several of them. Seems like a silly thing to start a tree farm when you're 60, but it makes him happy. :O His little garden is actually putting out a few tomatoes and peppers, too! The garden is so small that the wildlife hasn't found it! :D
Today is probably the last day of the Marathon job. Most of the other guys have already been laid off, and the turn-around is nearly done. Keith's got a list of phone numbers to call--never mind that he has a Union Local that's supposed to be lining him up pipeline work!
Puppy training. UGH. At least he's over the thing where he was totally confused and would 'hold it' until he could get back inside! Progress. :) Now if I could just get him to quit grazing on acorns while he's out there.....
I've been playing with a roll of jewelry wire, making some pieces of jewelry--but I've run out of big stones and beads, so I started a crochet tablecloth.... We had a friend once who quit buying green bananas--I expect that a thread crochet tablecloth is kinda like green bananas! The last one I made took 2 years and this one is bigger! LOL!
