Spring is starting to rear its head around here. The trees are starting to bud and of course, the grass is growing. Tuesday I decided to cut the grass. I did the neighbor's yard too. Remember, I was in the hospital last month. He helped me out with things during those days, so I returned the favor. Funny thing was, though, that when I ran the mower (I have a rider mower) by his mailbox it bumped it slightly. Really. Very slight bump. And his mailbox fell apart. Off the post. So I built him a new post and put a new box on it. He really, really needed it. Even the mailman said so. I put it in the hole and concreted it. Should last him until he retires.It doesn't look level, but the level I used says it is. The photo looks off. The red post is actually tilted to the left.
I'd rather tat than mow grass, but it does need to be done! Your doily is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI like mowing grass but tatting is better!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice neighbor. Thanks for making the world a better place. Your doily looks great too!!
ReplyDeleteOne job leads to another! The doily is coming along wonderfully. Do you think size 80 thread is floppier than 20 or 40?
ReplyDeleteProbably not as it would not be as long. This King Tut is a little smaller than that. I am told it is around size 120. I know it is smaller than DMC100.
DeleteSpring has sprung here too. I hope you don't overdo but good on you for helping out with the lawn and mailbox!
ReplyDeleteYou are a good man, Tim.
ReplyDeleteHope you have recovered well - and don't get that covid-19!
This is so tiny, and great that you placed the measuring tape and shuttles beside it its a beautiful work of art!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mailbox post! And your doily is exquisite! That's a lovely colorway. I'm glad you're up and about again.
