The pink tape is nice to use. No residue and it looks nice on the chart.
It's been, for a change, pouring rain. The hot dog I had for lunch has
come back to haunt me at dinnertime. I'm already in loungy pj's and all is
well with my world.
Here's a hug from me (((()))) and a slurpy kiss ```` from Puff.

Thanks for the offer - but,hard to believe, I was being facetious. As I
actually still have the roll I've been using for about 8 years, though it's
dwindling. OTOH, after showering post yard-work, I didn't dry my hair -
so....the reference to the pink hair tape.
Don't mind me - I'm just a bit brain-dead and overwhelmed. And, my hands
are way too ucky to stitch tonight.

I think I should hire you. We've got a bumper crop of clover this
year (what happens when you don't fertilize/kill the weeds in May)
as well as lots of ground ivy. And of course it's been raining
off and on ever since the painters finished painting. Then there are
the windows....do you do windows? I have delayed cleaning them until
the paint's competely dry.
But....I did stitch yesterday.

LOL - don't hire me - I only do these things in bursts.
Today has brought another thrill in expensive car repairs. I'm avoiding
doing paperwork right now. Ugh.

Don't kill the clover - it helps fix nitrogen in the soil. And grass is a
heavy feeder. When it grows where I don't want it, I trim at the soil line
to leave the nitrogen high roots in place.
And Ellice - what is the damage on Nessie?
