An everything else day..................


I left a message earlier this week on my plumber's voice mail and yesterday they finally called back and said they would be here in 10 minutes.  I was pretty sure it was the dishwasher line that was leaking.  He put on a new hose but it was still leaking so he suggested calling an appliance repair person.  I called and they are coming next Tuesday.

The photo is my Veronica which is looking prettier every day.


Good news, the shaggy red coneflower is showing red.  90 degrees and very humid yesterday.






All of the Coneflower buds were facing up to the sun.

So on to the rest of yesterday.  I had 10 minutes to grab a little lunch after lining up the repair person and then my friends arrived to hang a new ceiling fan and caulk my bathtub.

I went out around 7:30 to cut some volunteer trees and limbs on the Forsythia bush.  A front was coming through that would drop the humidity.  We didn't get one drop of rain from the predicted "possible severe storms".  I will need to water plants today.

Loving that shaggy red coneflower--great that it took hold for you;)))
I need to get out and do a bit of weeding today in our front garden near our sitting patio...can't do too much at one time--the bending gets to my back--sigh!!
66 early this morning; overcast with rain forecast...after yesterday's household busyness--hope to get some relaxing stitching in...
hugs, Julierose

sounds like you had a busy day with house maintenance projects. Hope the leak won't amount to a lot of work to find it.

The hot temperatures (90 yesterday) and full sunshine all weekend will hasten the drying. A friend who lives in north central Florida said they haven't had a drop of rain, unlike the southern part of that state.

90 % of my days are ‘Everything Else’ days… rarely a creative day can I work in ~ and they used to be my priority days.

Lovely flowers and I hope they like heat! It's forecast to be 91*F here today and we need rain.

What did we do without fans? In my childhood home in Memphis, we had an attic fan which was bliss, but ceiling fans are wonderful as are oscillating fans. I still have a couple of cardboard church fans and they'll do in a pinch. Air conditioning is an expensive blessing.

Hugs!

I once knit through an entire 3 hour flight and my fitbit credited me with 25,000 steps!!!

It's always exciting to see the buds steadily showing colour, sometimes a surprise! Well I think you're brave dealing with batting and backing for two huge sized quilts, looking forward to see the finished result when you have them back.I'm jumping now to your gorgeous floral sorting piles of fabric and love your organisation, I have a heap of that to do next week.
