Buy Nothing August
Back from vacation and getting back into the work routine. Holiday was great and niblings are visiting next week. Pippi socks are finished, need to wrap them. 60% done with the travel project. Husband needs the car in August, so the travel project will be the waiting for the bus project. Need to figure out the August and September Finish It projects. Made some progress on the spider quilt.
Joined the library's summer reading program to encourage the niblings on their summer reading. The library was read for 30 days, and bonus reading is read for an extra 10 days and a title to the community recommended book list. Not doing it for the prizes, a coupon for a free book at the annual library book sale and tickets to the local pro soccer team, sponsor of the reading program.

Buy Nothing August ongoing
Figured out the September Finish It another sock that will be a Christmas gift. Will finish the August Finish It project next week.
Buy nothing August continues, promised the niblings a pizza party during their visit a couple of weeks ago before I decided to do a buy nothing month. I put the pizza in the allowed costs. Nibling loved the Pippi socks. Should think about the Fall to do list
I guess my completed challenges are: I have finished 10 days of garden club/plant Society events. 10 solid days of it all.
I attended multi day symposiums where I had to drive long distances, I hosted a luncheon for the executive committee of one of my groups, and I was a major organizer for our big plant society annual potluck and auction.
Now we’re having some nice weather and I need to get a bunch of iris in the ground and clean out at least two beds for replanting. Yeah we’ll see if this happens��
Iris-That is my idea of hell...10 days with meetings, driving and people!! And HOSTING! You deserve to do absolutely nothing for a month! Enjoy working in your yard.
I know, right? I’m pretty much an introvert and I can spend hours/days/weeks without busily interacting with people. Yet I do enjoy the activities I sign up for, I just wish they didn’t all come in a big clump. Or maybe I *DO *prefer they come in a big clump and I can have downtime in between. I guess it works.
I had nonstop flower and garden activities from April 4 until June 9, and I had planned to just vegetate for a couple of weeks after that. Well, you know what? The vegetative state lasted well over a month and I had to scurry around to meet obligations for August. I was a little embarrassed by my laziness.
I call the "laziness" restoration of my soul!!!

Buy Nothing August successful and the money saved went into tires for the car. Tires ordered and waiting for them to arrive at the shop so I can schedule installation. I'll finish the September Finish It project this week and slow and steady work continues on the Spider quilt.
Hana, please start a fall thread and I will join in. It doesn't feel like I did a damned thing this summer.
Got my granddaughter Children of Noisy Village and my son said he wants to read it aloud to them as he remembers it.
