Whenever I finally get to sit and write...I loose every thought I had planned on writing about. It seems lately I have become really stretched thin. Several notebooks with things to do, directions,plans, to busy organizing everything, I am not getting anything done. Thinking up new projects, I still have projects that need to be finished!!! Now I want to make rag rugs. what the hell is that about? They are cool, and I have lots of material, I think. I hope I did not give it all away when I cleaned the art closet out!!! I tend to do that, that is why I hate throwing things out, I may not use it at the time I get it, but down the road I eventually use it. But , between getting it and using it... if I got the down size bug... things get thrown away or given away. Now, back to the rug idea. I saw one made with old bath towels. I don't think that is a good idea, strings all over the place. Raggy old tea towels and all the cotton material I have would do better. But the towel one was rea...

The day has been a somber one. I am pretending it is raining outside, even though the sun is shining. Nothing to do in the garden, less and less to dead head every day.Picked all the yellow beans yesterday, the zucchini is still growing, picked a few today. Now just letting things go on there own. Thinking on the next project to start...I don't know what to do? Books, socks, dolls,paper mache' boxes, ornaments,magnets,and the cookbook that needs to be organized? I guess just pick one and get it done. It is the starting of projects that is the most difficult, but once that hurdle is crossed, I am gun ho! I need to find out if you can dry Cosmo flowers. or just the petals, by pressing them, I have a ton of pressed flowers on the back shelf. Gotta do something with them... That is my problem, I have so many projects to do, the materials to do them, stupid of me to find that a problem! The only real problem I have is my ability to manage time! I have this bad habit of always thinki...

I have been a bit neglectful lately with keeping up on the garden business. I just find it all so sad right now, especially since Fall is my favorite time of year. But the days are getting shorter and the nites cooler. Right now we are in a really nice warm spell, but rain is needed. The sunflowers all are blooming, some have been picked and are in two vases. The big ones are really big! I have brought in all the tender perennials, the geraniums are taking off in the house, so is the rosemary, and I got a beautiful ceramic planter at Goodwill for $4.95. The best deal ever, and my lavender has plenty of room to grow over the winter. I found a sage that was really dwarfed in the herb barrel, so I replanted that. My mints where so root bound that I had one hell of a time getting them out, and when I did, I ripped them all to shreds. We replanted some of the roots and what I thought would regrow, they look good right now. Cutting Cosmo's all the time, they where one of the best things ...
