The Busy Town

With the five to seven inches of snow that fell during the night, the traffic going by the house is every color or size of snow blades, pushers and blowers.

Dennis’ grandson Ryan was here with a bobcat that was sporting rubber tracks.  It made quick work of the drive and the snow on the south side of the garage.  Of course Dennis will tidy up with his walk behind Simplicity.

A morning visitor brought me down to the studio before nine.  Is it ever too early for a fellow quilter?  No.  It had been some time since this visitor had stopped in.  Before long I had had help picking out a fabric to use in binding Luella’s blanket. 

After Dennis had come in for a noon break, I returned to the studio and began taking out the huge amount of safety pins that had served me well in keeping all layers of the blanket secured.  As I am taking these pins put, it does bring a chuckle in regard to a mailing I recently received with additional pins to use in future projects.  One can never have enough safety pins. 

When I had a chance to question and visit our mailman about the recent mailing of pins, he assured me that I could call the post office and the nice lady could help me.  I must add . . . the mailman is a very slightly built young Hispanic fellow.  His mail bag is larger than what one thinks he could carry as he trudged through the deep, recent snow. 

I am far enough along with this current project that I will soon be turning my imagination to some embroidery.  There is no shortage of ideas that come across from various groups I have joined on Facebook.  It does keep the wheels turning.  That is what a balanced life is all about.

May everyone experience the coming weekend with light hearts.  It is the season when we need not stress as He is the reason for the season.
