Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures...

...and let the birds fly above the earth, God said on the fifth day. Carl said, "I better get the door done, since I've made such a big deal out of it!" I got up early and completed the door. No problem. Then I had to go to the store to stock up on non-carbonated beverages - another limitation during the hermitage - no belching - same category as coughing and sneezing I suppose. I got into a check-out line where the cashier wanted to talk. I smiled and didn't say a word. I don't think she ever caught on. She probably figured I was the quiet type, which indeeed I am right now!Then I sat down to do some serious knitting. I have a baby wrap that I've been knitting forever. I am determined to finish it and get it out of my house - and I will never again use baby-sized skinny needles and baby yarn. It simply takes too long. I've had enough. I want to see results if I am going to expend time and efforts. I can't sustain interest even though I really don't have anything else I must do. I was going to work in the garden when the rains hit. Rain is always an excuse not to work in the garden. Perhaps the weather will cool a bit and make working outside more palatable. Painting the door was close enough for me. Good to have surgery and recuperation during the hottest weeks of summer. And there was evening and there was morning the fifth day.
