small chores

Last night I spent the evening watching videos with my Beloved, a bit of wine, and crocheting.  It seems to be how we like to end the week since we have a tendency to run so hard.  It does mean this shawl is half done and soon I will be on the last skein of yarn.

Today has been a day of small chores.  Those chores that make life easier.  Some dishes are done.  The floors are swept.  The bed is made.  I spent a hour in the garden today.  The picture is one of the reasons why.  15 pumpkins so far and counting.  I am starting to get my garden ready for the autumn and winter already.  We have had so much rain this week that the weeds are taking over the world.  It is so much different then last year.  But instead of heat, the humidity is what determines how long I can work.  Today was a hour.  I find that is about what I can do if I wish to do anything else during the day.

Small Mister helped me knead this pizza dough this morning.  That was actually before the garden.  When he realized that he was actually going to get to HELP Grandmomma with the dough, he was excited.  His Momma held him and he helped.  It was very cool.

I have actually had a few minutes to card wool recently.  I do not know how that has happened but both yesterday and today.  I may see another shawl and hat in my future!  Mittens too maybe?  We will see.

It will continue to be a day of small chores, family, and, hopefully, a bit more tea.  It is a good day.
