Maybe this wasn't the right time to prune it since the house next door is for sale, but prune it we did. I hope it grows back! There already is some new growth on it, but it will be awhile before it gets full grown again. Branches were growing around and into other branches, so I know it needed pruning.
I have been looking for these buttons that I bought over a year ago at the flea market for 50 cents a bag. Today I decided to tackle the under-section of a bookcase in the living room where I put crafty things.
I found the buttons, but not where I thought they were. No wonder I couldn't find them - I had put them safely into an old jelly jar (old buttons, old jelly jar) and placed them on a bookshelf, and I had been searching for the above bags of buttons. I didn't find them in the unit I set out going thru. I happened to go to another bookshelf to find an old jar to put some OTHER old buttons I came across in my search (still on their original cards) and there was the jelly jar with my long-lost buttons. Funny thing - I had re-arranged the bookshelf where the jelly jar was, or at least I had re-arranged some of the books on that bookshelf, but I never noticed the jelly jar of buttons.
The jelly jar was on a bookshelf that is behind the loveseat recliner in the TV room that I sit on every night, but somehow I didn't see the buttons. I'm just glad I found them.
Now if I could just find my favorite shoes. I called a client thinking maybe I had left them there when wearing my rain boots home one day, and she said there were some black shoes in a bag under the desk that aren't hers! I was excited. At last the mystery of my lost shoes had been solved. She mailed them to me, but when I opened the box, they weren't MY shoes!!! So now there are two mysteries - whose shoes are these? And where are MY shoes?
