Time to Shop?!?!?!?!!!
Its the day after, and I hope Santa brought you everything on your list...I was lucky enough to receive 8 new antique rose bushes from him, but now I have to decide where to plant them...some are climbers, some are hedges, others small bushes...they'll be here next week and I can't wait to see where I'm going to put them...I have an archway that's been asking for a climbing rose, so that ones easy...but perhaps the columns on my front porch would like a thornless, fragrant rose that blooms nearly all year as well...I bet it would!
So today we are going to the home store to pick up some gutters for the front of the house, so our new roses will not be obliterated when it rains again, if it ever does rain again...its so dry here there have been grass fires...good thing I've been watering the plants...
Brian put in the walkway in the backyard that has been in stasis for a year...its almost finished, the pea gravel is down, the ground covering is down, and the flagstone is in place...all that's left is the sand and decomposed granite to fill in the spaces...but I can walk on it to get to my propane tank outside - which of course is important if I wanna get beads made...
speaking of, of course that's why you're here, right? I took yesterday off, but will be back in action today...I think I'm going to work on some earrings first, tho, so if you missed out on the previous Icicle earrings, don't fret...I'll have plenty of the 1.5" length, with a few of the 1" and 2" as well...I feel like making those today, its gorgeous out, in the 70's and 80's all this week, sunny and no humidity, so the doors and windows are open, the cats and dog are playing and we're having a nice holiday...who wants to vacuum when you can make earrings????!
