Lisa, who is very thoughtful, brought these beautiful roses and lilies when she and Christian came to visit yesterday.

Today Mary and I drove him to a half way point, which was about an hour and a half drive,  so Lisa wouldn’t have to come so far.  We let his mother take him south to lunch and  we went north to Subway.   That way we could all get on with our day.  He complained that the child’s menu just wasn’t enough food.   Maybe at 11, it is time to move up menu wise.

When we got home we took a look through the greenhouse and somehow missed these.

When I went back out to water, I found 7 cukes.  I brought in these 4 and left the other 3 near the top to grow a bit more.

Then back into the house as it was time to finish mixing up the dyes.   There were 9 powder packages which must be opened underwater and then simmered for 30 minutes.   So it takes about an hour to process each of them.   I managed to make that take 3 days by doing a bit each day.   However, they are now ready to be used to dye the wool. Sometimes, I can just make something drag out.
