feng_shui_houseYesterday I finished up the sachets, wrapped and packed and did the USPS 'click and ship' to arrange for a pickup at my home- sometime today.
This morning I had an email from Spoonflower telling me one of their folks had spotted a flaw in a design of mine they were printing. OOPS. I fixed that one and then went looking for other color ways in the design and ALL (that was 16 documents to redo- one of them the multi-layered 'mother' with the original flaw that all their 'children' inherited) of them have the same error...*sigh* So, 4 hours later I am ALMOST done fixing them and uploading the revisions- next I'll need to delete the flawed versions from my computer AND my backup drive.
Next on the agenda is cutting up the tree branches I sawed a few days ago and left lying on the ground because I had sudden OMG OMG must finish stuff for mailing!
Ok... hours later... mail got delivered, including my 66 Hopalong Cassidy movies... that's... gonna take a while... but since the mail carrier was walking with a satchel full of mail they didn't do the pickup at that time. Came back hours later and got it, so that's good.
I cut up the tree branches and stacked all the small ones in bundles around the lizard habitat-- not sure if it's also become a MOUSE habitat, because a few days ago I saw a cat playing with dead mouse on the pool deck.
I was reminded of it today because when I went out front to deal with the branches 4 immature white ibis were perched on the street light by my house. So I ducked back into the house and got my camera... Ibis butt pics along with side snaps... and when I walked out to the sidewalk to get as close as possible, I saw a dead mouse on the walk. But this one was on the neighbor's frontage so I figure, let him deal with it. I buried my own mouse. :^) Guessing the neighborhood cats aren't entirely useless....
I think I'll dig holes and stick in a few of the really long branches to use as supports for the mystery tomato plants I've started. I had gathered seeds last year from tomatoes that had volunteered to grow from... I dunno, I had once bought tomato seeds from the store, and a couple times I bought tomatoes from the grocery and planted the seeds-- I figure I can kill free tomato plants just as easily as paid for ones... never know though. It MIGHT stay cool enough that I can get some fruit. Yes. I have to plant tomato seeds in NOVEMBER to have any chance of getting fruit.

They are really cool looking birds. It astonishes me how people can overlook them- after they left the street light they went into a neighbor's yard across the street and walked on the lawn, searching for insects.
A school bus pulled up, beeped, and let out two kids who opened the gate and walked into the house without even PAUSING to turn their heads and glance at these large white birds maybe 15 feet away from them.
Heck, I can't even ignore a common butterfly. :^)
