Crazy Days and Monday

[ursulas_alcove]

Stupid hot yesterday and today. I moved into the basement last night. Been awhile since I sleep in a chair. So tired it didn't matter. The concrete floor also looked good. Got home during the most spectacular light show nature can provide. Who needs fire works? The storms were east of us. No thunder, just wonderful lightening.

I am leaving tomorrow for Seattle with a stop in Coralville for groceries and Cedar Rapids to pick up stock. Unloading the van in hot, hot weather with humidity. And repacking today. Winding lots of balls of yarn to replenish crates.

Finished a lovely dyebath of oregano before the show setup on Friday. I have some lovely fuzzy mohair in a honey yellow. Today I started by deadheading the coreopsis. I have that cooking along with some bugs (cochineal) on the outdoor stove. Coreopsis makes me smile.



Tomorrow I must get 4 new tires, renew the tags on the vehicle, and buy sales books. Then pack, wait for UPS, wind off orders, take them to the post office. And finally hit the road. Oh yeah, I should probably pay bills.

Tomatoes need to be planted and the carrots ere we travel. Crazy days.

i've tons of yellow iris
think they're native plants
and they're thriving.

if you need to wind yarn,
hope that means you sold well.

better for her arthritic hands
