I love my Mom. She gave me another project to do. I won't be crocheting masks, but she asked me to make a mask extender. The only problem is, that the pattern is too small. I'm re-doing this today and making it larger and having my daughter who works try it out at her work. My buttons have been shipped, so that will happen when they arrive.
It's not the new project that I was talking about though. That is yet to start, but will share when I have it made.
Once I have the size figured out on this project, I'll most likely be selling some. I know many people have to wear a mask the entire day, and it's uncomfortable. One person who has one already told me hers measures 6 1/2 inches. I think that would be too large, but we'll see.
Rain is due here today, but we've only had a sprinkle. I sure hope we get more today. We badly need it. I spent the morning tying up my 100 some tomato plants. They are looking great and tomatoes are on. Bring on the rain!

Flies ~ Garden Bounty
We have a huge fly problem out by the vegetable gardens. They are flesh flies and are everywhere. I'm guessing there is a dead animal near the woods or in the pasture, so I went online and ordered environmentally safe fly traps. My homemade bug spray doesn't work at all, and it's miserable trying to work out there.
Garden bounty is starting to roll in. Jalapenos and bell peppers are on the plants now too.
I went out to the coop yesterday, and low and behold, another hole in the chicken wire. Just like the last two holes and I'm getting tired of it. Live trap is set again. Deer camera is up too just to see if there is more or it's something different doing it.
