It rained almost every day last week. The moles have been digging so industriously that the yard is like soup, and the grass is getting so tall that it's hard to see the mole tunnels to set traps in them. I was hoping to mow today, but it rained again this morning. It is hot and muggy, a good day to work inside.
So I've been making jewelry.
Last week was "clay week" in the craft room. I fooled around with the gooey Creative Hands ClayStudio clay all week, trying this and that to stiffen it up enough to use it. There is not much to show for my efforts. I intend to use this clay to "stretch" more expensive clay, but I probably won't buy any more of it.
My sweet niece texted me Friday afternoon to tell me about a hydrangea sale at the botanical garden in the big city. The flyer that came with the text said that they were selling some macrophylla hydrangeas that I have been wanting. I picked them up from her Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon I planted it about 4 feet away from an Annabelle growing at the edge of the woods., where we can see them through the living room windows. These will be the only hydrangea blooms we'll see this year because of the late freeze we got in March.
