Tuesday in Review

I'm a day behind with my blog posts!  I like to wait until night to write my posts because I usually write about what I did that day.  But, some days end a lot later than usual, and then, my wanting to write a blog post loses out on my need to get some sleep! 

It was a sunny, but, windy day, yesterday.  I brought in the trash cans, watered the back garden, practiced the piano, and did three loads of laundry, including the clothes cousin V gave and the sheets from my bed.  Later, Dancer and my daughter both helped me to remake my bed!

I picked a green pea pod and a purple pea pod from the garden, yesterday, and daughter and I did a taste test.  We each ate half of each pea pod, raw.  I couldn't taste any difference, but, my daughter thought the green one was sweeter.  The green pea pod was bigger and had bigger peas; the purple pea pod was smaller and the peas inside (which were a bright green) were tiny.  I am waiting for the next purple pea pod to get a bit bigger before I pick it - I want to try steaming it to see if the pod color will remain purple or turn to green!  

Poor Dancer ate a bit too much cat grass, yesterday - my fault for giving him so much!  Not only did he throw up, he also had an accident on his way to the litter box!  He felt very bad about it, though, because he was rather subdued the rest of the day.

Neighbor S called to let me know that she is extending her break from teaching piano for the rest of February, which is fine with me.  It means I can take my time learning the two new pieces I was assigned (the theme from Godfather and Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter - both are simplified arrangements to suit my level of piano skills, but, nevertheless, challenging for me to play).  She asked me if I wanted any new pieces to learn during her break, but, I declined the offer!  I do have other easy piano pieces to learn, if I wish to, or, I can go back and brush up on the pieces I learned, earlier.

In the evening, I watched news and crocheted.  I ran short of the grey yarn I was using to crochet a border around each granny square half way through and switched to a lilac.  But, on the very last row, I ran short of the lilac yarn, too!  Oh, dear!  The last three granny squares have been bordered with the pale green yarn that my daughter used for the leaves of the sunflower she crocheted!  I am now joining the rows with yet another color - a pale lemon yellow that was leftover in my stash!  Just how it will turn out is anybody's guess!  LOL.

Later in the evening, I called friend R and chatted with her for a bit.  Then, I read for a bit, before going to sleep, around 3:30 a.m.

On Tuesday, I was grateful for:

- No damage from the wind
- A sunny and bright day
- Working appliances (the washer and dryer)
- Freshly laundered bed sheets
- Dancer seemed to have recovered from being sick, earlier

My joyful activity yesterday was picking pea pods, purple and green, from the garden!

How was your Tuesday?
