You can never have enough...

Woke up this morning to Stuff's article about the senior couple in the retirement village who died two days apart after one was hospitalised and they were separated. Made my eyes sting that did. Lucky lucky couple. Some of us are just so blessed to have happy partnerships that last for decades, and I confess to being very envious of such pure good fortune.

As for this little life, I spent yesterday wrangling peaches as the rain inspired brown rot advances through the tree, poaching big pots full for the freezer and munching on pieces of the less perfect ones. I'm getting good exercise biffing the less worthy ones into the feijoa hedge with the happy thought the seedlings might rise through it to take over in the next ten years. The feijoas are small and hard and usually pitted with guava moth babies, so peaches would be a step up imo.

Still playing with the Hmong indigo dyed hemp pieces to go on my denim jacket. Going through the stash baskets I have come across some rose red antique velvet ribbon and some faded blue fringing both of which speaks to the denim so those are draped around the jacket hanging on the wall to inspire me. I need your embroidery fingers to come push me into action and bring it all together, but maybe a little bit of novice sashiko work might do the trick. When it is a bit cooler...

Nice to have a project to look forward to!
