celery

Michael made me a scrumptious breakfast Saturday morning (1/26) after which I bundled up and headed down to the studio.  It was 59 degrees down there (the furnace people said they would be by between 3 PM and 7 PM) but I plowed ahead with my mystery.  In the afternoon, as I was trimming a section, I discovered that my next to the next to the last strip was too short L….so I proceeded to rip out 3 strips (black thread on black fabric…what fun….NOT!)  Once I got that done, I headed upstairs to get a start on the bread we needed for dinner.  I paused for a moment to take a picture of my new celery…..here’s the progression:

 

A week ago Friday to Saturday to Sunday afternoon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I finally got it planted a week ago Sunday, and it looked like this until Saturday (yesterday)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look on the right....that teeny, tiny yellowish spot...that's new celery...in less than a week!

 

 

I finally got back to making the challah bread.  Michael and I left at 6 PM for our neighborhood dinner.  We had meatloaf, potatoes, broccoli casserole, a salad, the bread and a fabulous cake for dessert.  It was a wonderful evening, the only downside was that it seemed to break up very early.  I came home to watch TV and knit, while Michael leaded to the open house at Fort Mill Community Playhouse.  He signed us up for season tickets, got to visit with a lot of people and was home by 11.
