Final Days of Summer
Well, this is it, final summer 2013 blog entry. Me and all my teacher friends are headed back to school for the year. And I am going to try real hard to save a little time to keep doing the things that keep me happy and whole. So with that in mind, here’s a little recap of this week’s happiness.
Monday
I started off the morning helping my friend Bonnie install some trellises in her Mary Garden. Hanging baskets and votives to come, but a pretty good start I’d say.
Then it was time to finish preparing for my terrarium class at Castaway Yarn Shop! First one ever I’ve taught and it went very well. I do believe there will be more to follow. And a big thank you to Stephanie for being my teaching assistant-it was really fun working with you again! Here’s some photos of my students’ work and the class.
Thursday
I met up with my friend Teresa who has been teaching herself how to cut wine bottles. Today’s project was wine bottle chandelier’s. We got a good start, some electrical work to go, but nothing that my dad can’t figure out for me, I’m sure.
Saturday
After picking TWO colanders full of cherry tomatoes, Stephanie and I put together two terrariums for her and then, with much prodding from Stephanie (I was more inclined to take a nap), we attached my staghorn fern to a board. It hadn’t been doing very well in its mossy basket, so fingers crossed its a little happier now.
Then it was time to make deviled eggs for tailgating at Sunday’s A’s vs. The Indians game. Baseball isn’t really my thing, but it happens to be the thing of several of my favorite people, so I made my new favorite deviled egg recipe in honor of the occasion.
