GEOMETRIC GARDEN UPDATE

It rained all night last night, all day and finally stopped 5 pm today.  Hopefully it stopped!  The lake is back and haven't listened to the weather to find out the total rainfall but it is several inches.  When I do hear the levels I'll edit this post.  No chance this water will be absorbed anytime soon.  Meanwhile it gave me time to hook without guilt and I cut the grass on Friday so I'm good there too.

Here's today's update; I drew this 16.5 x 29.5.

Some of you have asked to see the original antique so here is a photo of that too.  Auction house said it was hooked 19th century and measured 27 x 47.5.  Sure didn't want mine that big as the drawing was daunting enough.

Have you ever awakened at 3 a.m. scratching and you feel a tick on your leg or worse yet, the middle of the back and you've no one to pluck it off??  The leg happened last night and in a fog I put on my glasses and tried to remove the dot of a deer tick with tweezers.  After several tries I finally just dug into my flesh to get the damn thing out.

The back was a few days ago and at least this wasn't just a dot of a deer tick, it was normal size.  But again the middle of the night standing with my back to the wall mirror and holding a mirror trying to grab the sucker and pluck it off.  Eventually went for my flesh and successfully got the tick and some of me surgically removed.

Yes, I spray my shoes and legs when walking or working in the yard and wash my hands when returning inside.  Have no idea why they aren't noticed until they burrow into my flesh and cause itching.

Here is a view of the lake and it extends well into the woods and to my left into the woods.  The ground is like a sponge when I walked to the fence to take photos.

I tried taking a video but my battery died so didn't much but hopefully you can hear the cacophony of happy frogs.  

Back to the geo and happily hooking.
