feng_shui_houseThat's because it's raining. YAY, I don't have to water the plants today. Doesn't mean I wasn't out in the yard though.
After I dealt with the Spoonflower messup (they emailed me asking if I could show them a photo & luckily I hadn't cut up the partial sampler, so it was obvious in the photo that the printing stopped at 17 and 3 blanks and then their printed cut guideline.) So I'm told they'll reprint it again, and this time the customer service person said he'd inspect it personally.
Well, after that, I went out with my shovel and pruner and goggles and gloves and gauntlets hunting more Asp. I noticed in the yard.
While digging up I came across another buried sprinkler head attached to a length of rubbery pipe. My dad installed it forever ago, and I'd repaired it (but my brother insisted on me setting the sprinkler heads level with the ground so he could buzzcut the grass when he mowed & increase the time between mowings.) I had to clean out the heads every week for them to work at all because dirt kept covering them. Then the pool guys who fixed the pool said the law wouldn't allow pools to be filled or sprinkler systems hooked up to an underground well (they told me this AFTER they cut it off.)
So after that, I started removing the sprinkler system, but since a lot of it had sunk into the ground I couldn't easily find them without digging up the whole yard. I keep thinking I've got them all, but I suspect I never will.
Then I went in the back yard to dig more Asp. and then it started to rain. But tomorrow's a trash day, and I wanted to fill a bag of Asp, so I kept going. I'm now wet, and cold, but too pooped to shower.

Later I'll get up and cut up and iron a fabric sampler that came yesterday (this one they printed right!) Since I gave up photographing the swatches, setting designs for sale takes much less time, so that's good.
I just remembered Amazon emailed me last night saying that Dr. Strange DVD was now available for pre-order, so I checked & found that 2 book series I'd been following had new volumes (one is also a pre-order), so I ordered them, plus some GF cookies. I had a balance on gift cards that almost paid for it- so I'll have like an 85 cents charge on my credit card-- oh, wait. They don't bill you for pre-orders until you get them, so... does that mean the gift cards will still have $ on them until the pre-orders come in?? Puzzlement.
