Physical Labor
The past few days have been a whirl of physical labor, with not much time for my brain work (stop snickering) and my needlework. So today - at least until Gerry or the kids get home - is devoted to sitting on my bottom and finishing some samples, finessing an intarsia chart, all that other good stuff...
Speaking of intarsia - wouldn't these make a phenomental knit picture? This is the same bush that gave me these beauties 2 months ago. Hydrangeas are a beautiful mystery to me - right after our bad heat wave I noticed all of them all over town looked very sad - brownish on the flowers, dull - and now they've revived to this.
Today my house goals are:
Finish painting the trim in the stairwell to the basement
Get the downstairs office back in order (after Gerry painted the walls)
Make a BIG DENT in tossing out the growing pile of garbage in our basement (it's ALIVE!)
Make sense of Gerry's closet (we have 2 walk in closets off of our room, Gerry's is barely a "crawl in" right now...)
I find myself looking forward so much to theHudson Cruise this weekend! We'll be leaving from Newburg Landing at 4:00, and evening on the Hudson in September is one of the more beautiful sights I've ever seen. I adore the Hudson River Valley - it was where Gerry and I went for our Honeymoon (driving around in his old VW GT, fixing it along the way, just having a wonderful time!) It's an amazing river, and huge thanks are due to the Riverkeeper organization for working so hard to restore it to a livable cleanliness. No matter how much they spend in advertising, GE will never convice me they bring "good things" to life...
Note to Kate: What's BC? Where is it?

How do you have time to do all that you do? Keeping up with your blog, your gardening, renovating, etc.....
The gardening consists of ignoring everything, then twice a year weeding and planting some new stuff. I am NOT a gardener, so I try to pick plants that do well on their own without a lot of supervision.
Hydrangeas are so cool - you can play around with their colors by changing the PH of the soil - coffee grounds for more acidic, or ashes for more akyline. (my mom and brother are botany geniuses - not me, they just drill it in my head and then it comes out my mouth like the receipt at the gas pumps)
Reading your post reminded me of all the organizing I need to do..... I think I'll take a nap =)
Wouldn't BC be Brittish Columbia, in western Canada?
B.C. is Brooklyn Center, a suburb just north of Downtown Minneapolis - not to be confused with Brooklyn Center, also a suburb.
My only trip on the Hudson was on the Circle Line. It was October 2001 and I was terrified as everyone wanted to be on the left of the ferry to see Ground Zero. I thought we were going to drown. I want to see it your way.
That would be "not to be confused with Brooklyn PARK, also a suburb".
