Our wisteria is in bloom. For the first twenty years or so it never sent out a single flower, but the last few years it's decided to bloom, and this year there's more than ever. Unfortunately the leaves come out with the flowers and hide them, so Jan went up on the ladder on the weekend to thin out the leaves so the flowers show up better. They are looking spectacular!
I'm well into my second little BID sweater, but it's hard on my arthritis and carpal tunnel, so I'm alternating with other real-life chores - like sewing liners into sleeping bags for our trip. I've also washed and folded the eight fabrics destined to become my new shirts. Now I have to cut them all out and start sewing - which is not among my top one hundred favourite things to be doing, but the sooner I start, the sooner I'll be done - for another few years. So, if sometime in the not-too-distant future you come across some large, white-haired old lady, wearing a shirt made out of one of these fabrics, be sure to say "Hi!", because there's a good chance it's probably me.
