Blue and white...

 The teapot to this set is at my other blog...there is a link on the side bar.  And yes I though of Granny Marigold when I saw this and the other set.

**********                                                                                                                        I am not going to tell you the long drawn out story I just told my daughter about one of my sewing machines needing oil, and what happened when I forgot to unthread the needle.  It was not pretty, and it was not fun...even the cat purring got on every last nerve.  This was last night.

She was so happy and I was so frustrated...I finally got the thread mess cleaned out, but still had to work more on the oiling.  I don't get to sew for very long stretches, but it adds up quicker than  I realize.  

But it is in working order...and I have another machine up there, and daughter has a machine that I could have put in its place...but it is old faithful...

And I just now thought...I have laundry I need to finish up and get put away!

Lucky shots...

 I am afraid that this is going to be a disappointment for some of you.  This is why I wanted to go back to Walmart.  The Teasel is starting to bloom....I am so afraid I will miss it at its full bloom stage, but it seems to be just starting.

I am so blessed to have gotten these two shots.  They are from my phone and I could only vaguely see what was in the frame most of the time.  Plus the wind was blowing almost constantly.  If you saw my other shots, you would know I am not lying.  To capture it with a critter on it was a bonus.

I still want to try to make it back there before too long.  Though now that I think about it, I wonder if it has mostly bloomed and I just got lucky and caught this one.  There were only a few at this stage.  There are a lot of them.  This one was very close to the fence.

**************                                                                                                             It has been a busy, hectic day for me...had tshirts to take back to Tractor supply...they were for Roger.  Such nice, 100% cotton.  The large was way bigger than the tshirts he wears all the time...I took them back last week and thought, well, medium should work.  No, they were quite a bit smaller than what he wears all the time.  I told a friend, that it is wide range between sizes.

I ran on over to walmart to check out the teasel and also to grab a couple or three items...and then to another store to pick up a couple pair of pants.  It is a store that gets rid of the last season's things for a big name store.  I had gotten a pair of Under Armor pull on pants...thinking for just around the house.  For $10...I liked them so well, I went back and got two more, in the same olive drab color...but I will wear them out in public.  I just could not believe how comfortable they are.  They are strange material...I normally only want cotton...and I do wonder how these would be in heat or cold.  But just to wear around they are fine...

Then home to vacuum, do up some dishes and fold laundry....and I have even gone upstairs and sewed a bit.  Roger had leftover pizza for his supper...I had it for lunch.  LOL

That is about it for this day....
