Turtle patches plus nail repair
I went outside today to water a newly planted avocado tree and the fig tree that is not growing but finally has a few new leaves. I ended up pulling weeds, then pulling up the zinnias to plant the tomato plant that actually has tomatoes but was living in a pot that dries out every day in the sun. The rains have obviously stopped. It seems every time I garden I mess up my nails and this was no exception. I have gardening gloves, many pairs, but seldom wear them and when I do, I usually take them off too soon. My left forefingernail has been split into the quick for 5 months. I cannot get it to grow out for anything. I guess gardening is the worst, but swimming isn't good either as it soaks and gets soft and splits up further. Today I decided to sew it shut, like stitches? I used red thread so I would stay aware of it, I have a bad memory.
Two more patches more or less done. One I still have to sew the turtle down but it is ready to press and sew. The other one needs eyes or something. Need quite a few more.
I enjoy making the squares in the evenings while nothing is on tv. I can listen but don't have to watch. If you watch Kyra Sedgewhichs cop show on TNT the new season starts tomorrow. I don't know how to spell her name and can't remember the name of the series. But it is good.
