I did more sewing on the deck until 6 pm and then did my walk through and cut the long grass that edged each garden, bending over and not falling, and then we had soup and I lay down again.  Now I’m back in my studio, un-sewing one of the quilts that had gone wonky.  She texted.  She thinks I’m tired and I am.
