A Pleasant Sunday
It was planned to have a quiet day and as it is rounding to the supper time, I believe we have pulled it off.
Getting up at eight, it doesn’t take long to realize the world around me has been on the go for some time. I cared not.
My day was spent for the most part in the sewing studio puzzling through how to continue working with my Minkee fabric. All twenty blocks have been sewn together. It was time to hit the stashes to see what the backing would be. I am determined to use what I have. I know when I see it, a light bulb will pop and I will have found the answer.
When us stitchers got together last Friday, I was amazed how many have been out and about to quilt shops. One of the gals has taken to ordering online. For myself, I like to touch and feel before I buy. My stashes allow that for me. I have been picking away at the stashes as I seem to have an empty tote in the cistern closet.
I could hear by what was going on outside that Dennis was taking the auxiliary hose that we have had stretched along the drive to get rid of the sump pump water and rolling it up. He will be putting the boot back on at the origination where the sump pump brings the water to the surface at the northwest corner of the house and takes it underground. By late spring the soil in that area was so saturated, it had become a swamp. I know we will be getting rains, but doubtedly so much that the swamp returns.
It sounds like this next week will be one that will bring a smile to the face when we step outside. How sweet will that be! Enjoy the remainder of this evening and put that head on the pillow giving “Thanks Be” for the great weekend.
