And fast approaching summer. To be fair, where I live is perpetually spring in a sense. We don’t really have cold weather. We don’t really have hot weather. Our big ole Historic house stays a pretty constant 62 to 65 degrees F. year-round without much change in furnace use. We don’t have AC. If it gets warm, we just open a window or two. The breeze off the Bay usually cools things down quite nicely. Because our weather is the same all year round, I find the same chores on the list year-round: water plants, weed, prune, etc. Getting the roses pruned for the annual hard pruning sometimes doesn’t happen. It’s just too difficult for me to cut unopened buds off the plant!
It's about this time
of year, just after Easter before school ends and the Bach Festival, that I
find myself with very little to show for my tatting. I’ve finished all the
gifts on my list. I’m in the final stage of getting my piece ready for Art of
Music. You could say I’m a bit numb from all the extra music for Holy Week/Easter.
So, not much to take pictures of. Not much to pass around for Show and Tell. Lots
in the half-way done phase. Most of my time is spent
cleaning/gardening/resting. Lots of rest, i.e. napping, the past 2 years. One
more year of recovery and then I should be better able to predict what I can
commit to do for music and tatting.
I promise to do
better about posting twice a week. I am touched by how many of you asked if I
was OK. I’ll let you know if I bump up against my mortality again. In the
meantime, I will continue to create with music and thread. Join me?
Good to hear from you! Like you, we don’t have very hot or very cold weather here in Bulawayo, aren’t we lucky?
ReplyDeleteAh, our weather has turned extreme for the most part! I did enjoy the change in seasons, with change of chores, clothing, etc. Glad that you are making progress in your chosen fields and the half-done list will soon be 'done'.
