Landscaping, Waterworks, Sewing

Today, the landscaping around our house was finally begun... it's a great day.

The kids are outside, even though it's cloudy, playing with Waterworks. It's a Discovery Toys 'toy' (purchased long ago and probably discontinued by now) that has been stored in the garage since we moved and for probably a year before that it was in our Fargo home's crawl space. Waterworks is messy. I'm glad it's outside! I don't believe the toy is supposed to have dirt in the channels, but my kids seem intent on using the materials around them. Maybe they're recreating the Missouri, Mississippi or Red Rivers???

After lunch I started some laundry and then sat down to plan and pin a few sewing projects. Regan gave me the advice that I just have to sit down and sew, if I want to sew ... she's right. I'll never find the perfect day or the perfect amount of time to get everything done, so I may as well just start. It really helps to have my sewing machines and fabric 'out' where they catch my eye.

**Spoke too soon about Waterworks. Naughty children hooked up the hose to the inside garage faucet. Can we say it's a big muddy mess that their dad will not be happy to see? We are talking water where it should not be .... I was going to take a picture, but I can't even get out our side garage door without walking through a muddy mess. The picture moment is NOT in me anymore.
