Tuesdays are recycle day in my neighborhood. I'm thinking it might be a good day to share some more creative ways to recycle, rather than putting things out along the alley. Something like this...
I've decided to sort my knitting needles by size. I have some house number stickers so I thought one container for each size. It might take me awhile as I don't buy much in jars or cans, but eventually I'll have a row of containers for each size of needle.
4:44 AM I can hear the rain hitting the chimney. Often I wonder what it would be like to live under a tin roof.
6:01 Having my second cup of coffee. Wondering about wardrobe choices. Layers are very necessary where I live. I wonder if the lighter layers for winter could be made to stand alone for summer?
6:56 Just came back in from the letting the chickens out. The code for the sky scarf for the last three days would be G-G-G.
8:04 This morning I'm being more deliberate about cheese making then I usually am. I'm following these directions for making Paneer.
9:00 Been working on a Jelly for the last hour. There's a break in the rain so I'm off to the grocery store to get potting soil.
9:55 On my way to the grocery store I saw two cars go by with snow on them. Talked to one of my brothers and he said he had an inch of snow this morning. No April Fools joke, that is unless you thought it was spring...
11:23 Just finished planting up the tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, and broccoli. The indigo isn't up yet. Maybe I need to reseed? Nope, need to be patient, I just looked up the germination time and it can take over 32 days!
(I'm particularly pleased with these tomatoes. They grew from seed that I saved two years ago. I'll thin these to just one plant in a couple days.)
2:34 Spent an hour or so outside, some beautiful sun breaks off and on this afternoon. Made an indigo vat (chemical) to dye a sweater that could use a pick-me-up.
4:00 Cleared the table. I'm finding that I need to have an open space available to work if I want to keep working on things during the week. But I constantly fight a desire to stack things...like books.
6:23 Time to think about what I need for work tomorrow.
