I should have raked the grass clippings after I mowed, but it started to drizzle just as I was starting on the last section of the yard. The drizzle didn't last long, but by the time I figured out that a drizzle was all we were going to get, I'd already showered and changed clothes and didn't want to expose my clean self to a new barrage of chiggers. I should rake them and compost them today . . . but I probably won't. It's going to be hot again.
Yesterday, there was a birthday party across the road for Granddaughter #2, who recently turned 16. The theme was an Hawaiian luau. Grass skirts and leis for everybody. The Husband took his ukulele for the "Happy Birthday" song. #2 seemed a little mortified. It was kind of funny. ;)
Granddaughter #4, formerly known as the Little Rotten Baby, started kindergarten today. The LRB is gung-ho about it. Her mom is about to have a come-apart as the last chick leaves the nest. For the first week or two, the moms get to walk the students to their class. I think my daughter-in-law was relieved - and also a little sad - that the LRB went into the classroom, took a seat, and never looked back. I'll walk across the road later today to quiz the kid on how her day went.
Last week, I ordered jewelry display items JUST IN CASE I work up the nerve to actually try to sell some of the stuff I've made so far this year. I got an earring rack with 64 hooks, some necklace displays, a ring display, and a bracelet display. They came yesterday, and I started filling them. The earring rack is almost full, as is one of the necklace displays. And there is a pile of pendants that still need to be strung. I haven't started on the rings, yet. Or the bracelets.
The sad part is that I don't *love* any of this stuff. Wouldn't wear it to a cat fight, as they say. Not my personal style. It'll be hard for me to try to sell this stuff with a straight face.
