Funny

My iron stopped heating.  Incidents of burning myself were greatly reduced, but lack of heat is not a desirable feature in a clothes iron so I purchased a new one.

Like most irons it has a number of settings -- delicate, normal (cotton) and maximum ( jeans).
A setting for jeans!!  That made me laugh out loud and also announce to my new iron that no one irons jeans.

    I didn't think anyone even ironed anymore.

    My best friend irons her jeans! Yep, crease and all. But she also washes fruit with soap and water.

    I iron so rarely...but poor hubby's shirts sometimes show that.

    My hubby wouldn't wear his jeans unless they had a crease. Kind of glad that went out with the divorce.

    I so rarely iron - I'd rather throw a damp towel into the dryer with the clothing for a few minutes to try to get the wrinkles out. How lazy is that?

    Though my iron did get a workout last spring when I helped my niece with a sewing project.

    Enjoy!

    Well hopefully it doesn't have a WIFI connection and an app that you can set the heat of your iron with Siri, Alexa, Cortana, or Google Assistant while flying to Florida and keep records of your ironing on the cloud. Lacking such, you can be assured that your iron has not been hacked and is overwhelming some internet source with millions of requests for the proper heat setting for Faded Glory verses True Religion. Nor will Russian hackers be able to leak your ironing quirks on Wikileaks.

    It is a very strange world we live in.

    I thought I was the only one who ironed anything anymore!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.
