Progress and Keeping Busy

Last Saturday, Wonderful Guy headed out early on the Bandit to meet a friend for breakfast. I chose to stay home, wanting and hoping to get some things finished up and off. my. list.
Well. I had a pretty good run at it.

The results of quilt, the second have been posted. And thank you all for your very kind and generous comments. Dearest Sister and I both appreciate your remarks.

Planted iris, which means I found places to plant eight different iris rhizomes. Not an easy thing at all in the yard, and still allow for maximum unimpeded lawn watering by the sprinklers, which is someone who shall remain nameless greatest concern. (Or so it seems.)

Six dishcloths were seamed. All caught up.

Two bebe sweaters had ends woven and were blocked. Seaming was completed last evening. Only fasteners remain.

I cleaned and stored the dried catnip and lavender.

There was a trip to the farmers market.

All the inside plants, and the outside container plants were watered and fed.

I caged the tomatoes.

I caught up on some paperwork for a group I chair.

The current book was finished.

I completed my research, and decided to change to a free internet security provider.

A call to Verizon resurrected the flushed phone when the battery arrived.

And we took a field trip to Mount Evans on Sunday.

It was a really, really good weekend.
And to top it all off?

I ordered the dSLR camera I have been jonesin’ for since last fall.
I hope I can wait ‘til it gets here…which ought to be Friday.

The best thing about a list is checking off things!

A very productive weekend! If you were pregnant I would think you were "nesting". Oh Yeah, it is your daughter who is pregnant! Any word?

Gosh, I'm gonna have to stay home once in a while on my days off work and see if I can accomplish something!
Those were some good pictures of your trip to Mt. Evan!

Ohhhh, you are the 2nd person with a new camera today. I have envy... I want to get something that allows me to take higher quality up close photos. Please review your camera so I can steal your advice down the road!! ;-)

Wow -- I'm exhausted just reading about all the things you accomplished while I was sitting in my chair stitching.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
