My husband decided that he would help me trim the old apple trees on the farm. I have read up on the subject and had some idea what it would entail. Just some dead branches, those that crossed, not too much time involved. I got out my clippers and he went for the chain saw. For the next hour I trimmed and pruned while he tried to get one of his two chainsaws running. He finally gave up as I was finishing the last tree. There are still several limbs that need his chainsaw, but we'll see when they are running again.
He did cook some great soup for dinner - and called me to pick up coriander and diced tomatoes for it. It is great soup and I brought some to school for my lunch and for other teachers to try. Tonight we are having a fancy dinner at a fancy restaurant for our anniversary. We have a gift certificate from our wedding, and we are going to use all of it.
I just ordered a couple of cones of Artfibers Zoe for a skirt. I've never made a skirt, but how hard can it be? I got a free pattern on Ravelry, and the yarn is 20% off because the store is closing. One of my students picked out the color. He said olive, turquoise, gold, could it be more you? I had to agree. I still have the Koigu toreador jacket, the Vogue jacket and a pair of socks to finish, and I absolutely will finish something before I begin this project. I don't know which, but my personal queue is getting a little deep. Happy anniversary - first year- I hope many more to come.
