a little arting, a little sewing, a little yard work


Friday night’s sunset.


Was it just a week ago I was moaning about how cold it was? It was 76˚ when I was working in the sun Sunday cutting back the rangoon creeper. This was my second go at the creeper, did a little Saturday evening, one more and I ought to have it all cut back and hauled to the burn pile. That leaves five more not counting the banana trees and that’s just over in the shop yard and around Pam’s house, though two of the five are relatively minor. And then there’s my yard.


I finally got out my watercolor pencils/crayons late Sunday to do a Valentine’s Day themed note card and bookmark for the drawing for door prizes for an event Hesed House is having on Friday. I got the bookmark done Sunday and the card yesterday


otherwise I’m working on Robin’s blanket which at this point she won’t need til next winter. Supposed to hit 80˚ today.


The other thing I did Sunday was edit the blogroll on my sidebar. I didn’t so much as edit it as remove it and add it back with changes since blogger would not let me make some of the changes through the edit function. It would let me add but it wouldn’t let me delete. And now it stubbornly refuses to display the links in order of most recently updated and blog post title. No matter how many times I tell it and save my preference it insists on listing blogs alphabetically. I also took out the link to my website which is a mess. I was in the process of updating and making major changes when my old computers was replaced and the new one didn’t support the program I used to upload changes. The fix would be to update the program but I can’t remember when I bought it or if I have proof of such or where that proof would be and would have to buy it again which I do not want to do. Since I no longer do any of the work for which the website was created I’m thinking about deleting it altogether.


Turns out I didn’t get much more done yesterday than the card. Today is groceries and this evening is the first Tai Chi class so I’m going to have to figure dinner out early since it’s also one of my nights to cook.

The Donny Horror Picture Show continues unabated. Since attacking Bad Bunny and the NFL, our Olympic athletes, immigrants in a country settled and populated by immigrants, citizens, and Democrats in general isn’t enough, he’s now attacking Canada (again) and demanding Canada turn over half ownership of a bridge connecting Michigan and Ontario built and paid for by Canada, a project approved by Obama, or he will refuse to let the American side open until the US is fully compensated! Fully compensated for something the US had no part in. And something something if Canadian trade deal with China something something China will terminate all ice hockey, permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup!


When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus. - Turkish proverb.


And here we are. Unfortunately, it’s not an entertaining circus, more like the sinister traveling show in Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.
