I have always liked it and finally found a kit for myself on EBay. I am so glad you have one and still enjoy it, it really is a sweet poem, isn't it?

This morning, however, I was getting caught up on my reading, found this post and couldn't help but smile. I stitched that very same sampler...oh, probably 45 or maybe even 50 years ago (gulp, is that possible?) and recently had it re-framed. I love it to this day and I'm sure you will too.

(Honestly, I didn't even notice the grass...) <br />Not so productive around here besides a couple loads of laundry, taking care of dishes, and two trips to town for Silas to go to the dentist. Yes, I thought his appointment was at 10, but it was really at 2. Sigh. We took advantage of the nice morning to check out a couple of antique/flea market type stores in town, and playing in the park, so time well spent. Tomorrow I'll have quite a long list.

If I do stuff not on it I put it on so can be marked off!<br /><br />Love your zinnias! We normally plant them but the spring was so wet didn't get any out. We now have stuff planted for a fall garden in hopes of getting green beans, and pickles to can.<br /><br />Our temps are to be in 70' and 80's this week with nights at 50's and 60's. LOVE it but wish I was off. Won't be till Saturday. happeningswithLanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467937856900406297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-53507398197401266392014-07-28T20:39:08.647-05:002014-07-28T20:39:08.647-05:00I feel your satisfaction in crossing things off th...I feel your satisfaction in crossing things off the list. My Mondays are always spent working so I don't plan anything until Tuesday. That's when I have a list a mile long. Although my plans will be thwarted tomorrow, a long time favorite Mennonite bulk food store is going out of business and everything is 25% off. When I get back from there I will begin my chores. Your flowers are gorgeous and you have inspired me to drag out my stitching. Don't you find it relaxing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-36267948149281776652014-07-28T18:09:33.895-05:002014-07-28T18:09:33.895-05:00I usually have a list too....but this morning I kn...I usually have a list too....but this morning I knew I had to wash the windows, inside and out plus the screens..and so I did that and while I was at it, cleaned the blinds and window tracks! Did a load of laundry, hung that out, and it is so hot here (Northern CA) the clothes dry pretty quickly, so brought them in, folded and put it away..<br />Swept the kitchen and bathroom floors, made lunch and did the dishes.....prepared ingredients for a pasta to serve with salmon tonight, watered a bit of the garden, and now I am going to check the chickens and collect the eggs....<br />I have already started my list for tomorrow...we will see if I will get done what I have planned, .....you know that goes.:-)Enidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179106668889861969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-44892551675385579502014-07-28T17:31:54.625-05:002014-07-28T17:31:54.625-05:00Wasn't it nice to have a day all to yourself? ...Wasn't it nice to have a day all to yourself? I had physical therapy this morning, which takes almost 3 hours of my time (including driving). Got home and made scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast for Tim (he was home this weekend). Then cleaned the whole house - vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, running the dishwasher, watering plants, cleaning cat boxes, and doing 3 loads of laundry. Now I'm off to make dinner. Tomorrow is errand day - yuck.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-77960301262000937812014-07-28T17:29:39.145-05:002014-07-28T17:29:39.145-05:00I totally agree with you about marking things off ...I totally agree with you about marking things off the list. <br />Sometimes-- I forget to make my list, so I just get cracking on the mental list I have in my head, then I write it all down at the end of the day! I find that very satisfying too. Especially, on the days when I sit down and wonder... WHY AM I SO TIRED? WHAT DID I DO ALL DAY? then I look at my completed list and sigh a sigh of relief! <br />your flowers are beautiful. <br />Patricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-79116027027334242922014-07-28T17:29:12.648-05:002014-07-28T17:29:12.648-05:00Oh my gosh, those zinnias are awesome!

My day has not been quite as productive as yours, but I SO relate to the feeling of satisfaction. I write things on my list AFTER I have done them if I hadn't already. I want that joy of crossing it off! Your flowers are lovely and I love the saying on your sampler. Hope we get to see it finished.

I had no dirty laundry today until hubby came home and changed. Oh well, I will take even if it just for an afternoon! Those are some beautiful zinnias and I don't know many that can constantly keep up with the weeds. :) We are experiencing the cooler temps also. Now if only rain chances would be removed from the forecast so I could stain or paint.<br /><br />Have a great evening!Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.com
