Texas Solar Eclipse, Sewing, & General Entrepreneurial Stuff

Oh yeah, I'm all about entrepreneurial,

even though I can't spell it!

So, I was at Roland's Nursery last week

spray painting/embellishing flower pots for Mother's day.

Employee takes note of my apron and

wants one or two for general wear at the nursery.

Yes!!!!!

We discuss design options, price, fabric and I go home and create patterns.

This is what I came up with per her needs/fabric choices.

I am really trying to make this unemployment

situation work out!
What do you think?

ECLIPSE

This is the view I saw to the west this evening...

It's dark outside and I really need to bring in the clothes on the line,

hopefully I won't meet any snakes!

Outlaws gave me SEVERAL pounds of red plums,

I guess tomorrow is canning/brandy making day!

Till next time,

Bonjour

OH MY!!!!

SO.....

I had a job interview in Dallas today....

What was I thinking?

Stop and go traffic, rude, impatient drivers and the awful smell...

Once I hit the Trinity River Bridge the sewage smell of the River

mingled with the vehicle exhaust fumes...

That's when I remembered why I moved to the country!

Lou Sterrett Justice Center

 This is just one of three towers, guess we have a lot of criminals!

The job opening was for a commissary worker at the Lou Sterrett Justice Center.

Basically it entailed delivering, via a cart,  personal care and other sundries to the inmates.

Sounded easy enough, what the posting failed to mention was the hours,

6AM to 2PM.

There's no way I can be anywhere at 6AM,

I drop off two other people at their jobs.

Unless it pays $20.00 an hour I'm out.

The interview was odd to say the least,

but that's a whole story in itself....

This is more my speed.

First cutting of the season.

I walked outside while waiting for this photo to load,
heard crickets, a frog and other country noises.
No traffic, no stench, that's what I'm talking about!

I hope I find a job more suitable to my sensibilities.
Perhaps you' all could put the vibe out there for me?

I have numerous skills available!

I'll be making soap tomorrow, also more my speed.

Till next time,

Bonjour and good karma
