Freecycling four o'clocks
There were two tapping audios available this morning, so I listened to
them and tapped along while rebounding, and fixing and eating
breakfast. I had laundry to fold, but the audios were over before I got
to it, so I will save the folding for tomorrow's audios. I read my
e-mail and then went outside for some barefoot time. There was no sun,
only wet grass, and rain on and off. I checked on my tomatoes. They
all have little ones, but nothing turning red. The one plant has two
BIG tomatoes, but they are still green, sigh. I weeded the brick
enclosure near the garden. The four o'clocks are taking over the flower
beds, so I dug some up, actually lots of them. One I planted in the
enclosured. The others I put in a bucket of water, then posted them on
Freecycle. Last time I posted on Freecycle, the moderators did not
approve the message until 6pm, so I figured today was no different. I
washed the dirt off my hands and legs and came in. I took some time
to listen to two BWE Youtube audios. I swept the ants out of the
kitchen. I marveled at how they ate the bait and kept going strong.
(There is a scary hoard of them in the enclosure). Then I went down to
work on quilting. I put a blue border on the ugly fabric quilt so that
the edges (with all those seams) wouldn't stretch. I just barely had
enough blue to make it. Then I pulled out the green kaleidoscope. I
googled images to see what kinds of borders have been done for it. Most
have a small inner border and a larger outerborder. So I auditioned
inner and outer borders. I used a pink one, mitered at the corners.
But somehow it was wavy so I started taking it off. Tomorrow I get
another whack at it. I heard Chris come home. I went up to have
supper. I took a shower, and dressed a little nicer than usual. I
checked e-mail one last time to find people had been responding to my Freecycle offer all
afternoon. I warmed up the trombone, then packed it in the case and
headed for Huntsville High School. I arrived early. Never having been
there before, I wanted to do as the Romans do, but had to wait to see
what that was. We got to pick the parts we wanted to play, then sat in
the appropriate section. I met the guys to the right and left of me.
One is in high school, the other in college. I am old enough to be their mother. There were two women
trombone players, both older than college. The two men were my age or
older. But I didn't tell anyone my age. And no one asked me what
school I go to:( It did not last the whole two hours. The music was
relatively easy compared to what I expected. Still, I will have to
practice a few runs, and some tricky counting for next week. When I got
home, Chris was on his computer. He did not want to watch MASH. I
responded to a few Freecycle e-mailers. I ate a few pickled onions. I
read some e-mail, etc. Now that my blog is written, the only thing left
to do is find a pic to go with it. Here is a lovely quilt from Paducah.
