The never ending rug saga plus some new jazz

First...please listen to Melody Gardot....such a wonderful voice with a story behind it....click on some of her songs I have to the left of the blog......Her rendition of over the rainbow is pure magic! (Sorry, I don't have that... go to YouTube.)

Second, the dog rug is taking me FOREVER....no time..maybe 5 or 10 minutes at best! I have enclosed pictures of as is wool ready, waiting to go into another big rug...waiting. Then, I have the wool waiting to be dyed...waiting...waiting.....

Rain Rain go away come again some other day.........

OK, I give up! I will become one with the rain.....I will enjoy the wet.....I will love the trillion of ants seeping into my house to dry out.....I will be grateful.....BUT please....I just want to stain the damn deck....give me two days...that's it...can you just try?

Pictures

This weekend..yes I was off....it had been planned months in advance...to clean, powerwash, and paint/stain our new deck. The unrelenting rains killed that job! So, we went out on a date...so to speak...

The pictures are of a Greenway in which we planted a tree in memory of our son...we have memories planted all over this state and others.... Oh..it's raining...and that is yours truly out in the pouring elements.....

The date.......

The next set of pictures involve the date...I show empty food plates as I forgot to take pictures..again....we split the dessert....and the Mr. drank nearly half a bottle of wine. I really don't drink and someone had to drive home. He sure does take a good picture? I love him anyway.............

I have surely done it now

I kid you not....this is a true story...really....true.... or you sitting at the edge of your seat?  No?

Well, I did my lovely walk thing....sweat pouring...

Came home...outlined the flower beds with said grass cutter...for the boys to finish....

Did my cleaning thing.....

Started the dinner...started, remember that is key here.

I needed to cut some onions, was in a rush, wanted to use my fancy new knife that I can't remember the name of.....BUT instead of the onion, yep, cut my pointer finger down to the bone.  Lovely........cut that baby below the knuckle... Now normally I would not care..but I needed the suture thing and felt I had done some damage to tendons and nerves.  (This is the same person that had scissors fall point down in her thigh not too long ago).  I got myself 4 sutures and yep I cut through some nerves and tendons.  So now my pointer can not point straight..it curves down....it was my left hand so that makes things better.....now off to milk this situation to the best of my ability......

This is the mess I did to self

The top box has yet to be touched! I'm still working on the box below! I hope the jelly sets as I cut the sugar to 5 cups instead of 7 cups.....too much sugar for me!

I've lost my mind...my head my.....

I will die in a sea of strawberries! I always do this...pick way more than I can eat, can(make jelly). I picked 25 pounds of the damn strawberries! I was in a rush and did so in one hour! Does anyone out there want any? Wish I could email them to you. My Mr. PF is going to turn red from eating the things...who knows, maybe we will all turn into a berry.
