Changing of the season
Today is washday, and my weight-lifting gloves are in the second load. From last week until April or May I'll wear the plastic bicycle gloves that fit under fuzzy gloves, and I like things to be clean when I put them away for the winter. The cotton backs of the gloves have faded to gray, but they still bleed like a stuck pig -- presumably from the black leather. So I've got a very small load consisting of black socks, one pair of black gloves, and one pair of dark-brown grubbies. I wonder whether "grubbies" for clothing worn for dirty work is dialect or idiolect? Definitely not very common -- it's not in my spelling checker. I must not be taking my writing seriously. I don't even know where the very cheap quick-reference dictionary I used to keep beside the keyboard is. Now and again, I wanted to use a word that I wasn't sure all my readers would understand, so I'd look it up in that small book, and if I didn't find it, I'd define it on first reference. # asterism # Gloves hanging in the laundry room -- I hope that I remember to put them away before spring! I also washed my sheer linen scarf and put it away -- I'll wear fuzzy cotton-linen until silk-scarf-with-a-wool- liner season. We skipped over medium-weight linen season, and it hasn't been more than two weeks since I put away the white linen do-rag. In addition to laundry, I managed to finish cutting out twenty-eight parts for a sewing project -- almost. I had marked the last few pieces with a dying pen, and hadn't noticed. One piece -- I *think* it's *one* piece -- is so faint that I couldn't see to touch it up, so I've set it aside until I see what's missing. Lovely evening out there -- I may go for a walk after supper. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
