I did no gardening today?

And, the soccer field didn't get mowed. There are little sticky things that stick to your clothes when you walk in it. I now have them about 6 inches up my pant legs. I think I need rain boots.

I cut out the strips for my quilt piece and started cutting out cashmere pieces. Have I told you about this project? Heather has bought lots of old cashmere sweaters at the Digs and washed and washed and washed them to felt them. They are thicker and less stretchy. Then we cut all the seams out and I brought a bunch with me. I now have to cut them into squares or strips to sew together for a throw. I have the flannel for the back. Don't tell her, it will be one of her Christmas gifts.

I headed for Cartago on the 10:45 bus. I kept stalling because it was raining quite hard. I went to the hair salon  and had my hair cut. It is 4000 colones. Next to the yarn shop and Johanna said she had some money for me from selling some things I had given her. The embroidery needles are very popular because the needles available most places here have small holes and the ones I bring have long holes and work better if you are using several strands of thread. I said I would bring more and put it on my list.

Lunch at the little place on the corner and by then Ziomara was there and picked the hat she wanted. I sat and visited and crocheted and then headed for the bakery. There are tons of bakeries and I have found a couple I really like. I hit them both then back to Orosi.

When I opened the front gate there was a wonderful surprise. A sheet of plastic with a whole bunch of guayaba. They are mine now and tomorrow will be jelly making unless someone comes and asks for them. I hope not. I picked up a few more from the ground and a couple cas to include. That is Emilio's mother's secret ingredient.

I got groceries including extra sugar for the jelly. This might mean I have a few jars to take back with me. I will have to watch the weight as Heather has me bringing 30 pounds of yuca flour.

While I was out running errands I ran into Jose and he told me how much he liked the pictures of the planter. I said you are going to laugh but I need another bag of dirt. He said he would get it to me. A few minute stop in the pizza shop and back home.

Last night I made a batch of funnel cake and took two to the pizza shop. They were so good. I fed Emilio and his mother and father. Then I cut up what was left and gave it to the family in the booth having pizza. I think it will be a great item for a cooking lesson because you just need a burner.

All in all a very good Saturday.
