Its all good...
Oh yeah! Donner and her Wand of Death have been crusing in the rose patch and spraying every unwanted aphid and thrips that are eating the rose buds...After dousing them with a solution of soap and water, they are all dancing with death and Donner is cackling her wicked wicked laugh...I do love me some dead aphids and thrips (aka 'no-see um's, those teeny white bugs that bite the crap outta ya in the summertime...boo!)...i've got Diatomaceous Earth in my other hand, just ready to dust the buggers next, but so far, the soapy solution is doing wonders...
Brian took a bundle of beads to the post office for me this morning, so the bracelets and first round of mixed iris icicle beads are on their way to ya'll...the other good news, I made nearly all the other orders of icicle beads last night (all that's left are the ink blue/white flowers beads, there were lots of those on order-wow)...so once I make those beads today, I'll be getting the rest of the icicle beads outta here and on their way...the good news about all this, is that it'll free up some time for me to make more bracelets...and beads...and who knows what...
It was 88 here yesterday, after taking the dog for a walk at 4:00pm, she was dragging and panting on the way home, I was sweating and prickly from a slight sunburn...ouch...that's too hot for March! thank god the rest of the week will be cooler...please don't turn up the fire so soon...blah...
I have found a new favorite toy - the Swiffer! I had the duster, but bought the sweeper and wet mop this weekend and it made cleaning the house so much easier...the wet mop is fun, there are 4 AA batteries in it, and you push a button for the solution to spray, then you just mop it up...so high tech...but easier than a bucket of ucky water! I don't have any carpet or kids, so the Swiffer Flicker seemed pointless, my house is about the cat hair and muddy paw prints, so the mop and duster were most needed...and I'm happy with the results...I know, I'm weird...
I gotta clean some beads and water the plants...one of my roses is covered in aphids, little green monsters, so I gotta go blow them off the branches...bah...
