Not quite S.E.X - but close

After an hour of sitting around at the dealer waiting on an oil change, I
treated myself to a brief visit to a local consignment shop with an eclectic
image - OPUS (other people's used stuff) in Manchester.

Spent a grand total of $4 on bangle, a strand of semiprecious chips in
labadorite and a crocheted purse. The purse will be lined and become a stash
bag. And I'll re-string the chips....

Threw my back out helping a little old lady by heaving 20-lb bags of
kitty crunchies into her cart, so the new impatiens are not getting
planted today. They do quite well in the shady corner of the backyard
and brighten it up, too.

Actually, should probably save planting them till the new apple tree
arrives later in the week, so there's no chance of the man trampling
them in the process of planting the tree.


We planted impatiens and begonias yesterday, then must have overdone
things, as the petunias and gerania did not get planted today. Ah well,
there's always tomorrow.

Sounds like a good move - no planting here. Ark building might be though

No planting here yet. And fortunately we dodged the ark building.
OTOH they're predicting close to 80 for the weekend. This after
frost this am.

Speaking of crocheted purses, a lady at church has been clearing out her
sewing/craft stuff and I'm the lucky recipient of much of it. Fun to
see, and DD *loved* the pile of 1970s-era double knits I "inherited."

Last week she brought me some craft goodies that included a booklet of
instructions for crocheted purses (mostly clutches) and hats, circa
1940s. First person who wants it and emails me can have it! Fun to look
at; personally, I didn't find it inspiring, fashion-wise. Though maybe
with some of today's colors/materials, it could be redeemed.
