On most Friday afternoons I make a list of all that I want to accomplish craft-wise for the weekend. Because on Friday, the weekend is ahead and it seems like I'll have all the time in the world - oh the possibilities. I dream big. I'll list the 'have-to's' and the 'want-to's', many of which I know I'll never get to. This weekend was no different. I had a list as long as my arm - finishing quilts, making dresses, working on quilt blocks, repairing slipcovers. Yeah, right.
Right now, the weather in south Louisiana is absolutely perfect. Really, I couldn't imagine it getting any better - sunny, highs in the 70's, light breeze, low humidity - PERFECT. When we have this sort of weather you have to enjoy it right then and there because it doesn't last long. Needless to say, I hardly glanced at my list.
On Sunday morning I did pull out my sewing stuff, and noticed that my sewing projects coordinated with my coffee cup, then put it all away.
I got dressed and headed to the garden center. I worked in my yard a bunch. My flower beds are full of weeds, so I've been trying to clean that up. I got one section cleaned up and planted. My kitchen window box got filled with geraniums and marigolds. I planted a little herb garden for the patio. I cut down a huge bush to make room for an extension to our vegetable garden.
On this Monday morning I am tired and sore, but ready to do it all over again.
