Taking a tally of a long day...

* Eleven pastel size 8 Bible Times costume robes cut out,

* as well as six cream-colored boy-size headcovers complete with 6 striped ties for said headcovers,

* six girl-size head-wraps,

* and an additional two heavy boy-size Bible times coats cut out.

* Ten jars of freshly canned tomatoes cooling on the counter (OC helped with that, bless him),

* two jars of freshly-made spaghetti sauce cooling in the fridge,

* seven squeeze bottles of fabric dyes mixed up (which mixing requires moving the procedure out of doors and the wearing of protective mask and gloves),

* a pail of sodium carbonate pre-soak solution mixed,

* a scrap of fabric from the rag pile prepared and test-spots dyed with the new colors,

* a small mountain of freshly picked tomatoes carefully arranged on trays and placed in the garden window to ripen,

* and finally, two dozen muffins bagged (lots of help with those, too, though not, alas, with the pan washing, LOL),

and, at last, it's time (and past!) for bed...

The OC's list of accomplishments was even longer. What a day!
