Working two patches at a time seems to be the modus operandi for now. At this rate I might get caught up sometime in May … ha!
Anyway, the first patch harkens back to my airport indulgence in York Peppermint Patties, first mentioned here …
As I ate the last one, I recalled many trips along the East Coast from Williamsburg, Virginia to Shelter Island, New York. The almost-500 mile drive was pretty miserable, but made more bearable by stopping for lunch at the Fisherman’s Inn …
where they had, bar none, the best cream of crab soup on the planet …
followed, of course, with a York Peppermint Pattie for dessert (I know you were wondering where I was going with this).
Ah well … memories.
Anyway, the next day we headed to Meg’s to volunteer our landscaping services (something we also used to do for Meliss in St Louis, but Covid …)
I pulled on my nitrile-dipped garden gloves …
wondering why the right hand glove was doubled, making for a pretty tight fit.
Maybe one of the fingers was worn out on the inner glove?
Nope … hmmm …
So I tossed the extra glove aside. That is, until I started pulling up dewberry vines. Then I remembered: a doubled glove prevents the briar-y stems from breaking through.
Well, most of them anyway 😉

love how the bounce of colour and texture in your pairings are egging each other on

I confess I do think about how the pairings “go together” … but what happens around them is totally random (sometimes good, sometimes meh)

Double gloves…that’s a great idea!

like double-masking, come to think of it

York is immediately recognisable and the reminder about vines being briar-y may hold you in good stead into the future! The stitching is so fine…sigh.

Recalling which vines can be easily/safely pulled seems to be one I relearn every year
