What part of relax do I not understand

re·lax.....

VERB

make or become less tense or anxious----rest or engage in an enjoyable activity so as to become less tired or anxious------ to spend time resting or doing something enjoyable especially after you have been doing work.

It all started when I decided to put something into the bedroom closet. It all started when I had to move one thing to make room for another thing. It seems my life is still in the re-arrange stage. Trying to make things easier. But it first started when I went out to the yard to put yard trash out. Then I finally potted the petunias and found a spot for the pot. I realized the hummer feeder needed refilling. I also put the original back out front as the hummer was not happy with this new feeder. The new feeder is now in the back with the other feeder. Well I remembered I had a few things to toss out so back into the house and then it started....So now that my back feels like I have been kicked, and everything is where it out to be... it will be for at least now, I will sit and try to figure out what I am not doing right.

I have made Tenerife before using an older model of Gina's form. This new one....well I am not doing something right. So, I will cut off the threads and start over. Could be that I began this at 9 PM last evening and was a bit tired. The weather is still in the lovely phase...comfortable to sit out and relax...there is that words again. It is overcast which is a nice change from the hot beating sun.  My dental appointment is not until this afternoon so there is time to get this right. I really should try to get this shelf off the floor and on the wall. I think I will make a cup of tea and go sit outside and relax.

Glad you stopped by today. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship. Let's try to relax shall we?

Making friends

The sunset last evening was beautiful...it usually is. Stormy looking but beautiful. It certainly has been a busy week around here. So much has gotten done and it feels good. I am one of those people who sees or knows something needs to be taken care f and does not rest until it is. I am so lucky to have the friends that I do. Yesterday was a trash pick-up day. They do not come the same time each pick-up so I got organized early. I moved the car out of the garage and found the jig-saw. Hooked it up to a long extension cord and then turned over 2 of the Home Depot buckets to put the length of wood on to cut. Then I went to the pile of wood and thought I got this. Well, never having used a jig-saw or any electric saw before, it was not that easy. I seemed to have trouble keeping the blade in contact with the wood. I managed to cut 2 of these in half so it would be in the 4 foot length that is required. Along came one of the guys with his rolling barrel...let me explain. There are "runners" as I call them that come along with these large barrels on wheels and empty your trash into hem and then meet up with the truck and empty into the truck. Anyway, along comes this guy who stopped in his tracks and gave me such a look. "hello" he said and then reminded me to take my grip off the handle to stop the blade from running. I explained that I was trying to get as much cut for the pick-up and that they were early this time. He looked into the yard and saw the pile. "I will leave your barrel right here in the drive and when the truck comes they will come over and you can tell them what you are doing". So, the truck did stop and he returned with the 2 guys who came over and explained what I was doing. "We will take it as is for you"...oh my thank heavens because I was not accomplishing a lot. I said "thank you so very much because I really do not know how to properly use this saw". The one in charge replied , "yes..." with that look when you do know this person is dangerous with an electric saw, even if it is a small one. So all my wood is gone. I offered them a tip and at first they refused but then I insisted. I must have been quite the sight to them. I kept forgetting to let go of the handle so the saw was almost always in motion. I so the same with the electric drill ! I think I will stick to the needles and pins and non electric tools. On the pond update...it is now drained and dried and I need to clean out the top portion then I can see if the waterfall feature still works....that is next weeks project. Yesterday I cut out another teddy bear and have it ready to sew. This morning I plan to make Pizzelle and organize my things for the curio. Never a dull moment here...glad you visited and we could have this chat. Thank you for your kind words and most of all your friendship...friends, I am so lucky to have good friends. Let's have a good day.
Tomorrow it is all about my new curio....
