In Search Of....

 

We spent yesterday on the hunt for one of these. It's a wet saw. You use them to cut tile. We always borrowed The Mister's brother's saw but since he is no more we had to go get one of our own and it wasn't easy. Everyone wanted us to order one to have it delivered next week but The Mister wanted one right then and there even though the weather isn't exactly tile cutting weather.

It was all fine by me. I got another day of car knitting. I finally finished the corrugated ribbing on the Ski Sweater and started the bottom band of colorwork.

I also had fun in the nursery section of the hardware stores and came home with a potted yellow rose. I had planted one out in the front bed last year but the deer just ate all the buds off of it. I was really looking forward to it blooming this year. This one is staying in the pot right next to the front door which I hope will give the deer pause. 

Ditto for the little clump of daisies that I brought home. It's staying close too.

As for how that other new toy of The Mister's is doing....he said this morning if you want rain, buy a new grill. We haven't cooked a thing on it yet but the cover is sure getting a good workout.
