Ran into 3 brick walls!

What a day but I did, like Edison, discover how not to do some things.  First, I discovered my Black and Decker Alligator, which is like a chain saw in scissor form, would no longer charge its battery.  So, I tried looking for a new battery only to find out they no longer make that model or its battery!  So, I did find a pair of loppers I will replace it with.
Next, I tried to work on a sewing project and discovered I didn't have enough material.  Thank goodness I found more of the same so I ordered that.
Then, I got my yarn order from Deramore's...........only to discover it wasn't the right color blue I needed to finish a project! ARG!  So, I had to order more yarn, and to make it worth crossing the pond I ordered some sock yarn too!  Whew!  But I am blessed to be able to replace the items and  "move on down the road"!

I also received a pattern for a SAL with FQS and it is a mystery so this is just the first one by Lori Holt........love the first one!  You can either do them all separately or make them into one big picture.  I'm doing them separately.

I did take my walk this morning and although they predicted rain this afternoon, I watered outside anyway as they're usually wrong.  Plus, if I didn't water it would for sure not rain.  So, it did rain this afternoon and it was a nice little storm with wind and thunder and driving rain.  I always like it when it rains after I mow.  It just seems like it would be soothing to the lawn.
I baked bread this afternoon from dough that I put together last night.  Now, I'm going to go clean something and then I'll probably call it a day!
Happy Trails!!!
