Long Day

 August 29th

Here are some happy things from today:

• This morning I didn’t get going as early as I thought I would.  The sun hadn't risen yet though, and I saw Venus rising ahead of it.

Just to the right of the tree top there is the tiny planet, Venus.

• Weeding some of the triangle part of the driveway was my first goal of the day.  I found more bulbs as I sifted with my gloved hands through the dirt.  They are probably tulip and crocus bulbs.  The closer I got to the irises, the more I realized that I needed to weed some of them today.  I wanted to wait and do the irises all at the same time.  Logistically, it won't really work well that way.  Anyhow, I pulled some of the tubers out and replanted them.  I actually have a few extra that I'll try to plant as I continue clearing out the area.  I still plan to buy more bulbs and some other plants to fill in the area better than it was. 

Before I started.

The space I weeded today is mostly the left side of this picture. 

Tubers, bulbs and rocks.

Weeded, more soil added, and replanted.  There is still a lot to do.

• After lunch I went to Keziah’s store, DIY Craft & Thrift.  She is having a fill-a-bag sale this weekend and I helped do things to get ready for that.  

Filling tables!

• In the evening I went to Craft Night.  There were people there working on illumination, knitting, painting, and embroidery.  I embroidered some on a favor as well as worked on my whip cording.  My guess is that the whip cording is at least five feet longer now.  I'm really happy to say that I found a nice place to hang the whipcord while I work on it.

A nail to hang the whipcord from!

• There was a rainstorm during Craft Night.   It rained hard, then the sky cleared some.  The following pictures are from the moon and sun setting after the rain.

I played with the settings for this pic.
