random thoughts – Day 2,221 (Thursday) – producing

Forsythia.

The weather was nice again in the sunny and warm (but not too hot) I wish it was always like this kind of way. The forsythia at the edge of the front of the house is flowering and I paid it a visit today to apologize for thinking it was nearly dead. I need to read up on the care of forsythia. 

Then I took the winter rubber grippy mats off the front stairs and took them to the shed and to have a look at the back yard. The fiddleheads out back are multiplying, with eight clusters now emerged between the shed and a rock. I'm so glad there are ferns in the yard.

The forecast for tomorrow calls for temperatures to drop about 10 degrees and there is a chance of rain. It sounds like a good day to stay in and sew dance costumes. 

We had a supper meeting tonight to talk about costumes and eat some delicious food. It was good to get the costumes formalized and noted so we scavenge and sew as needed. A lot of them are based on who already has what components so that helps to a certain extent. It’s usually fun sourcing costume parts, so that is good. 

While the yard is busy producing pretty things, I have my own pretty things to pump out with a skirt to finish, plus a coin bra, some harem pants, and possibly a top or two to whip up for for the June show. And maybe a veil. Not sure. I need to double check the list. My brain short circuited somewhere during the meeting.
