Sleep in Sunday and then continued crocheting while I watched The Hateful Eight. I know better, but I keep forgetting how truly bloody, Tarantino’s movies usually are. I suppose the saving grace is they are over the top so that it is bearable and strangely funny to see so much violence. I don’t know what that says about me… but I really liked it. After that I decided to sort my entire small writing desk in the living room where I shove papers of every sort. Before doing that I got distracted by the need to go put the tarp back over the 46 Willys which had manage to stay on all winter but couldn’t handle the winds the last few days. Then there were lilacs to pick and well, eventually I got at the work. While I was at it Ashlée stopped by and we had a very nice catch up at a distance. It is hard for her to be separated from her husband of only a year and a half as he is an American living part time in Kalispell Montana and was travelling regularly to be here with her until the border closed. It has been over 3 months since they were together and I feel for them.
I got all the paper sorted and was just settling down to work on my books when there was a knock at the door and my across the street neighbour was there with roses. OK, so it was parts of roots she had dug up for me to transplant. I had a chat with her and her husband who had had a stroke earlier in the week and startled the neighbourhood when the ambulance arrived. He seems to be doing well though. After I planted the roses in three locations around the yard I asked them if they would like rhubarb as mine was going crazy and I don’t use it. Tracy was thrilled and set Lorne to work picking and digging. They left me a small clump which I am sure will grow back heartily. She is taking root balls to her daughters. I am happy they are happy.
After all of that I finally got started on my own books and tax filing. As the saying goes: The cobbler’s kids go without shoes. By 10 pm I was finished and filed and plan to be much better organized this year!!!
oops I must have been tired, forgot to push Publish, lol. Thanks for letting me know, Diane!!!
