Fruitful labour

 Out in the sun again, yesterday, but only to move back and forth from the house to the garage.  Set up to do some dyeing.  This meant multiple trips from house to garage, assembling all of my equipment and supplies.  David helped me (or rather I helped David) set up the big circular table to work on.  By the time that was done, I was pooped out.  Excitement gave me strength to start work, and I think I finished at least eight large pieces of fabric to use as backgrounds. Then I had to clean up.  I did this slowly and carefully, with lots of rests and sit-downs.  That took double the time as setting up did, and David's help, yet again made a lot of difference.

Then I crawled into bed and slept like a log for almost 2 hours.

By the time I got up, it was time to deal with the hash.  Your recipe was dead on, Cathy, and I thank you for it, but with no mushroom soup or mushrooms, we had to get creative.  I used mushroom gravy mix, and it looked great, but It needed to simmer for a bit, so I added a little more water.  Shouldn't ot'ta have done that.  Never the less the result, along with some instant mashed potatoes fed us quite well.  And we always have a bit of good quality ice cream for dessert--yum!

This morning I have to take the pieces, that have been "batching", wrapped in plastic, all night, rinse them and them put them through a load in the washer, before I see what my results might be.

Then I have a hunch it will be nap time again.
