weed and feed on the lawn, top soil on all the strawberries, Ryan transplanted 18 raspberry starts that Brent brought to me, and spent two days taking out the old grape vines that weren't producing much fruit. Brent also fixed my leaking sprinkler system with a $3 part, yea! I planted kale next to the spinach and have beets started in my mini greenhouse to give them a head start. I thought I was well on my way this spring but having second thoughts with this blizzard outside. Hopefully it will be short
lived.
When I returned to Providence and thanks to Holly's recommendation, I hired two gals to clean the house (glad I didn't have them clean the windows as they got dirty again with .74 of rainfall last night).
Yesterday Holly came over and helped put on the denim bedspread that I sewed together last winter. It includes materials from dad's jeans, Henry's overalls, Holly and Rebecca's skirts and will look nice on the new bed in the den. She also helped me with a few other things (sweet girl). Currently I have quilts in various stages: one on frames above, another on oval lap frame, binding one, another one ready to bind and four sets of daisy blocks that I've begun to sew together with sashing.
Ryan mentioned yesterday that I surely had a lot of projects going at once, and he's right. But I've got plenty of room here and sometimes I get bored just working on one all the time. It also helps when I get dizzy working outside to be able to come in and work on one of these or sit on the deck and read a good book.
After Holly and I went to see Hunger Games, she went out and bought all three in the series. She's sharing them with me and R&R. I began "Catching Fire" yesterday and Rachel and Ryan are going to read "Hunger Games". He's into finals now and is hitting the books hard to keep up his 4.0 GPA so it'll be awhile before he can read for fun.
The exercises I'm doing for the vertigo seem to be helping a bit and I surely hope I can get passed it very soon.
