I've been going through my books for my 1890s research... project... thingie. All in the name of going back to basics and looking for what's really typical in terms of shape and trim for 1890s lingerie. Turns out colored lingerie seems to be all the rage. I can't find a single fashion column between 1893 and 1898 that would mention lingerie and NOT mention color. Pale pink, pale blue, and pale pink, blue or purple flowers on a white ground. I need to look into what the patterns might have looked like now.
I'm enjoying some free time as the kids are with my parents and I'm home alone. I "only" have to make about 10 pounds of plum jam this afternoon. The plum tree is full of ripe fruit. We've have various cakes already. Tonight I'm going to try duck with a plum sauce, and this afternoon jam. And most of the fruit is still ON the tree. I've picked over 30 pounds of plums already. Does anybody want some ?

My hands are all raw from fighting with the dry, hard and compact soil, but I have installed two flowerbeds in front of the house, at the foot of the front hedge. I've planted about half of the bulbs I bought some weeks ago. Dunno where I'll put the rest yet. And I'm calling it a day as far as gardening is concerned. I'll just hop to the butcher's to get something to eat for tonight, and then relax and sew.
