I spent the evening decluttering my house guest's new bathrobe of 4 1/2" off the bottom. She's about 5' tall and the new robe was way too long, even after she cut off one of the two bottom ruffles. I tidied that raw line then made a big tuck and top stitched it so the remaining ruffle looks like it was originally attached at that point.

It rained all day so no yard work - the lawn is getting tall and the code enforcement guy put a note on my door yesterday. Thing is, the grass isn't too tall but the taller weeds in the garden never get mowed and I haven't pulled them yet. I called and left a message asking just what he takes issue with - haven't gotten an answer back yet. I have until the 19th so I suppose I could wait until the day before just to drive his little OCD self nuts. My yard never stays within in the lines or conforms to the yards around me. And that is on purpose.

This week I've started doing my two home exercise programs in the afternoon, something best done during daylight hours, not before bedtime. My back and knees feel better with the regular workouts.
