Plans Oft Times!
Some weeks back son-in-law David helped me re pot a plant and then move three of them inside. In the bay window seemed to be the best spot for them. Yesterday I remembered that I had to re pot one of them into a bigger container. So I filed that away in the back of my head because I had asked Jay about building me a simple stand so I could place those plants in front of the French doors. I remembered today that the Christmas tree always goes in the spot before the bay windows so the plants were going to have to be moved. After much discussion we settled on placing half a door over the two file cabinets and then covering it with a sheet. This will hold us until after Christmas and then I’ll try for a more civilized and permanent answer. So Jay and I moved the components of the makeshift shelf into place, I exchanged pots for a better fit for both plants, and then the plants were put in place. Thus the title!!!!
I went to the basement today and pulled out the Thanksgiving decorations and hung the flag. Most of the decorations will have to wait a few days because my marathon afghan project took a lot of energy and I fell behind in cleaning, the newspapers, and animal care. So today was start to catch up.
But I must show you my comforting thought while I was working on the afghan.
As I combined this very pretty blue with the Claret I felt a very calming sensation come over me and I knew that the project would be done in plenty of time. The urge to create something in those two colors is very strong but I have other things to do before I can get into that.
I have a DDS appointment on election day but I have already voted on an absentee ballot so there is no conflict. Hope you will get out and exercise your right to speak also!
