It was a bit cooler this morning for a while;
so, I made my way out to
my embroidery spot on our deck..
Butterfly....
And began to stitch:
helps with any potential
knotting or tangling...
I do so enjoy the repetitiveness and preciseness of getting the needle
right on the "X' lines...slowly finding the exact spot....
Most of my life I spent practicing my piano for hours a day--
[My degree is in piano pedagogy...]
The repetitive nature of learning a piece
and the preciseness of the rhythms therein always satisfied me.
Now that I can no longer play because of my
hand/thumb/arm problems, I found
that there were many long hours to fill...
And so came quilting, embroidery, diamond painting...all requiring
the same types of patient skills.
these have helped to fill that void for me...
I need to still slow down more
as you can see from some
"missed" placements...
;)))))

Last year we slashed our huge, overgrown hydrangea down almost to the
ground...and look what has happened to a bush we thought we would
end up having to dig out↧↧↧↧↧↧
It is going to bloom for us...;)))
***************************************************
AND.....
(supposed?) tree 2 years
ago....
Does anyone know if we should be trimming this somehow and/or
feeding it??? We did have some flowers early in the Spring this
year...but it looks more like a bush than a tree...??????

Our cul-de-sac is still being torn up during water pipe replacements...
it looks like a patchwork quilt with torn up sections, tarred areas and
trenches filled with gravel--travel is perilous at best...;000
I hope you are all healthy and staying safe...💓💓👵😷😷
Hugs from my presently hot and humid area
