treeskinTrying to be quiet, because By had a long cold day at work (well, we both did, but I was dressed for it), and he's now asleep in his chair, still fully dressed, under a blanket and a warm cat.
It never got over 40 degrees today. Courtney and I spent the day wrestling annuals out of beds, before tonight's frost turns them to harder-to-handle goo. Yech. Three truckloads of sweet potato vines and tubers, canna stems (we saved the roots for next year), and crunchy but still flowering purslanes.
Looks like I don't have to work at the annual show this year, I can be a tourist and enjoy it. Cool. By says the book-keeper is going to play cash register this time. It'll be weird, being there and not being responsible for anything.
I took the nail polish off after work--it looked decent until after work, when I nicked a couple of nails, and then it started flaking. But that's not bad, considering how much digging I did today. Toes are still polished, and still look good.
The Sock Report: the modular blue sock got ripped out during lunch and restarted, because I'd loosened up during the knitting and had about 1 1/2" too much fabric around the ankle. Bad me. So, the cuff is done, again, and I've started on the first section of the leg. Again. But with fewer stitches this time, so it ought to take less time to finish this section.
The UnSock Report: hands hurt too much to work on the Lopi sweater tonight. Too much time in the cold today to handle something that bulky.
