Whew!

I’ve just come in from weeding the trio of brick planters that divide our front yard from our driveway area. They weren’t as bad as the last time I tackled them, but I’ve been working hard for a couple of hours.

The temperature is only 81 degrees, so it shouldn’t feel so hot. My computer says the humidity is 58%, so it only feels like 87, but my BODY is reacting like the conditions are much more challenging.

I filled up a big trash can with weeds and pruned stuff before the job was finished. I’ll work my way around the yard, but the trio of planters was the worst. I’m beginning to see the end of the most important tasks now. YEA!!

I’m drinking a huge glass of ice water now, trying to cool off. I’m going to go sit in my recliner in the living room and relax for a bit with the ceiling fan on.

When I finally cool down, I’m planning to head up to my art room to reward myself with time to play. :0)

I hope that your day is going well.

Sleepy Tuesday 9-10-2024

I’m struggling to wake up fully this morning. I feel tired and blurry.

Yesterday I had a productive day outside. I finished weed whacking the yard, front and back, weeded the rock bed in the back, then used the leaf blower to blow the debris off the back and front sidewalks, the front porch, and the driveway pad. My husband mowed, so we look pretty civilized – for us. :0)

Today I plan to gather the last of the tomatoes and then pull the plants for the season. My tomato sucker plant got pretty large and actually produced some blossoms, but with the lowering of temperatures, it won’t produce fruit, so it goes, as well. Good experiment. I also plan to mix up a two-gallon container of Killzall and spray the areas that need it. The weather people are saying we have today with lower temperatures and lower humidity before a warm-up, so I’ll try to take advantage of that.

In the art room, I painted the finished wood-burned piece with a coat of varnish for protection. I’ll bring it down sometime today, take pics, and see if I can get it listed on my Etsy site. I also worked on another piece, making a good bit of progress. A third is outlined.

I fell in love with these, bought them, and received them yesterday. I’ve never seen any like them before and look forward to wearing them.

I wish you a happy Tuesday.

What a wonderful painting. I just love his expression.

I received a couple of photos and a video from my SIL yesterday that I’ll try to share in another post so that we can have a glorious vicarious vacation.

I’ll try to do some work in the garden today. Our weather is gorgeous, so I have no excuses. :0)

I have an idea rattling around in my head about something to try in my art room. It’s been awhile since I’ve been up there. Since I dreamed about it last night, it might be time to go up there and play.

We don’t have any big plans for the weekend. I’m hoping we can simply relax and enjoy being together.

I wish YOU a happy weekend, too.

Playing in My Art Room – Friday

Recently I’ve been refurbishing favorite tees by painting them, making button designs on them, or both. I sponge painted white puffball flowers on a brown tee and decided I wasn’t happy with the design and added to it. Today I’ve decided that I want to add some powder blue ‘tops’ to the flowers. Even if the tee ends up in the trash, I’ve had some fun afternoons. I’ll post another pic of it if I decide to keep it. :0)
