Leofwyna and I spent a couple hours working on clearing out the front flower bed... this project is going to take couple hours for many evenings to get it done as there's a 14 yard stretch of it across the front and it's hard going. We may leave the stretch of Veronica for next summer and take out the last 3-4 yards next fall.
I also hit the oldest compost bin that I'd put the sprouted potatoes in early this summer. They'd thrown up several plants and there was a couple pounds of new potatoes which I sorted out. The compost was in shade and I wasn't surprised that it hadn't done better. Now Leofwyna can take compost from that bin when she seeds grass up front. We're both still avoiding the big compost bin that the yellow jackets have colonized. I'll deal with that this winter.
In front of the TV tonight I grabbed up a pile of polished cotton samples to stitch together in another quilt top.
SATURDAY
Up very early (only four hours sleep) and said good-bye to Leofwyna who was just coming up to bed as I was getting on the road to coronation. Since the instructions in the MEWS weren't very helpful (Never did find an Edmonds Ave exit), I was pretty late finding the place getting into a long line for troll. I missed out on any chance of getting feast. Got dressed and up to morning court where I had missed the first bit and came in after Ashir's knighting ceremony had begun. I was way in the back and couldn't hear much of anything so made up my mind to get a good seat for the afternoon court. I ate inn fare then sat and illuminated a scroll during the afternoon before heading up to secure my seat for court. I got a real kick out of watching the Bellwood kids as several of them got their AOAs and how delighted they were for each other.
I told the Scarlet Keep kids who were riding home with me that I would disappear during feast, not to worry, enjoy a leisurely feast, I'd be back for them. Headed out to find supper but found most places I was interested in backed up with waiting lines and ended up pulling through Taco Bell. Dropped the Scarlet Keep kids who rode back to Lincoln with me back at their doorsteps and was home myself by midnight. Leofwyna called from work a little later to see if I was home yet and ask about the event. I was tired enough to head to bed earlier than usual.
SUNDAY
Wow, a full ten hours sleep which felt really good. Since Leofwyna was sleeping all day I left the house for the afternoon, ate and hit a couple thrift stores. When she woke up we headed out for another couple hours work on the flowerbed. She had set up the crockpot full of fresh pork ham this morning with plans to use my little batch of new potatoes creamed with peas for supper. This evening I finished putting together the polished cotton quilt top and it looks really good although it's to small for me to keep and quilt so it goes into the charity quilt pile, too.
MONDAY
Since it rained during the night we both took it easy today. I headed out for lunch while Leofwyna was still sleeping and stopped in and browsed at T J Maxx. Back at home while Leofwyna left and ran her errands I poked around on the computer... basically a very lazy day.
