A bright sunny day and they say we will be back in the 70s today. I managed to get lots done yesterday. Don had come by to get something and then helped me with the tool cupboard. Goodness we were able to toss out lots of stuff that I will not need and then into the garden where he helped me secure the Firecracker Bush and cut down the grass. I did discover that my cutting tools need to be sharpened and that I really should have worn my gloves. The grass cuts like paper cuts and that is right, I have them on the finger tips of my left hand. We will not discuss the scratches to my arms from the cactus. Don suggested that I cut back where the "alien" Snail Vine was growing to the house....I did that. I think it has been interfering with the amount of light getting to my Hot Lips plant. The pond still needs to be skimmed and that will be probably later today or tomorrow.
I think Prince Richard has been helping himself to the chocolates....now before you think I have tattered table scarves, well, it is but it is because this love piece of white on white embroidery is probably 50+ years old. I have several old pieces that are less than perfect. It has character.
When I looked out the kitchen window she was sitting on the chair back....Don spotted an egg in the wall planter yesterday and yet they are building on the clock. This is one confused pair of Doves! They disappear most all day returning at night and early morning. She moved to the top of the back gate and he is someplace near the pond.
My gold beaded snowflake is growing ever so slowly. I had made an error, took forever to undo, now the cut to the tip of my finger and distractions, I am determined to finish this by Sunday.
Laundry number 2 is swishing and then it time for walking the Bissell and swinging the Swiffer. When all is done I will sit and read for awhile......started When Ghosts Speak. Reading will rest my finger tips and keep me out of the garden! I am happy that you took time to visit. Thank you for your kind words and your friendship.

Good morning Gracie. Boy those paper cuts hurt just as much as a hand slice. Yeeeouch!!! At least you have an accomplished task to show for it.
Also I'm loving the pic of the Dove on the chair back! It's a beauty! I need to get one more bird house up in my front tree as the one my daddyo had hanging for many years was beyond repair. Love watching my birds.
Expecting a house full of teenagers soon as Mia's birthday party will be held here soon so I will say goodbye for now....have a wonderfully relaxing day 💗
Your dove is fickle, she needs to make up her mind and fast, if she wants a family. I have been pracising my needle tatting and made a butterfly with some beads. I think I will do another but not as many beads as it dosen't lay flat. I am just learning and having fun. Nice to be able to do stuff again. Glad to see your fine. Rest your fingers and I love your snowflake. Beautiful. big hugs from the cold north.
Can you send us some warm weather.
The tatted snowflake is looking lovely. I cut my finger on a broken mug this afternoon, only a tiny cut but it does sting. Luckily I can type without that finger!
Oh yes, it does hurt cutting back grass without gloves! Your doves are so sweet AND keeping you entertained!
Must be the day for cut fingers, I slipped with a knife when cutting a tomato, stings awfully and makes it hard to do craftwork as it's the index finger.
Enjoy your book
Your gold beaded snowflake is beautiful! I am so glad the weather is warming up. I don't want it to get too crazy, but upper 70s, low 80s is perfect to me. I'm eager to open the windows this coming week and enjoy fresh air in the house.
Now I imagine these doves fluttering around all confused...that's a really cute image in my head.
