My that was fun!
This was supposed to be posted for Earth Day But we spent the better part of Friday hassling.
Went to Job Lot in Westerly instead of Hope Valley. Big mistake! Couldn’t find half of what I wanted. Then when I got to the check-out line there were at least ten people waiting with only two cashiers open. So I left!
Then the bank. Another big mistake! As we were leaving I hit a pot hole and blew out a rear tire. (This is not uncommon in Rhode Island.) Fortunately Proge was with me so I didn’t have to call and wait for AAA. Went immediately to my Very-Wonderful-Auto-Repair-Guys. Who agreed that the tire would have to be replaced. Wonder of wonders, they were just about to return a tire that fit our car that had been ordered for someone else who decided not to take it. Changed it and we were so frustrated that we came home and flaked out with wine and cheese.
It’s always sumthin’!
This is a more or less final sketch for a large platter I am doing. I rarely post my prelim sketches, but I felt this was appropriate for the day.
Toes crossed everyone was able to celebrate in some small way.
I have fifty-two little yellow marigold seedlings and started some basil. And the catnip is already coming up. It’s going to be a plantation this year!
As always, stay safe, and thanks for stopping by………….*s*
Dearest Suzi,
ReplyDeleteWell, Earth Day is by far not as important as Easter.
As you say, it is always something and you were lucky with that tire for finding an immediate solution!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette.....Let's agree to disagree about the importance of Earth Day over Easter. The two are not mutually exclusive.
DeleteI have so enjoyed your travel posts.

DeleteAs my astrological friends would say, some planet or another was out of aspect, or in reverse. I know that was just one of those days...and am sort of having had a few like that myself. Whew. Glad the good things came out of it...a bit of cheese always helps. Love your Gaia!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb.....As Women of a Certain Age we can attest to the vagaries of life.
DeleteAnd yes cheese makes most things better.
One of those days indeed...but a beautiful prelim sketch.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for showing us
Hi Gwynneth.....Thanks. We all live to survive those days.
