Brutus

 

This is Brutus. It's what The Mister calls his riding mower. 

Keeping up the grass is the job I dread the most but I always have a good time while I'm actually doing it. 

It's a lot of grass to cut but at least, unlike most housework, it stays looking good for at least a few days. I can vacuum and mop a hundred times a day and within minutes it looks like I never touched it. 

Yesterday I put my foot down with The Mister. He's been napping all day and then not being able to sleep at night which make him tired all day. I told him he's been training himself to be a permanent invalid with habits like that. I put him to work helping me with the laundry and made him take up some of his old hobbies instead of spending the day on the couch. Getting him back on track isn't going to be easy. He saw what my dad went through when he broke his artificial hip and he's been erring on the side of caution a bit too much. Maybe his upcoming surgeon visit can give him the confidence he needs to rejoin the land of the living. 

And a couple of you asked me about the yarn I was using for the socks I am working on. It's Regia's Gargia Color. I went looking for more and came up empty handed but....

...I did buy some more of this. After getting it here I realized that this colorway looks very familiar. I am pretty sure that I've already knit it before. In the big world of sock yarn, I really need to start branching out a bit. Regia and I need to take a break.
