Early to Rise
Early to bed and early to rise. That was me this morning. I always go to bed at nine, but most days I am still in bed at 7:30. Six this morning, the birds in the evergreen right outside my bedroom were exceptionally loud. So be it . . . I got up. I punched the coffee maker and decided to sit on our front deck whilst the brewing commenced. Nothing like a cup of rich Folger’s coffee.
My dad never drank anything but Folger’s. At some point, flavored coffee might find its way into the farm house via a gift of well meaning people. Nope, Raymond would rather drink Folger’s instant coffee than the flavored.
I had my studio time planned out for today by the time I had turned off all the studio lights yesterday. It is now mid afternoon and my objectives have been met. Once I had the rotary cutter ready to go on some orange material for the binding, it was just as easy to cut enough material for the binding of both quilts. Stitching lengths together was next. Keeping yards of 2.5″ fabric cut tidy is difficult. It was a wise choice to go ahead and press it in half and then wind the lengths using a hard covered medium of some sort. That was the extent of today’s stitching.
Our plans for the rest of the weekend are on the quiet side. As early as I was out on our front deck, I could see many were zipping by with campers and boats. Bless their hearts. Neither one of those options would trip my trigger.
I see that Dennis has company in the patio porch. I will be retiring to my cheery red chair and a good book. Dennis took out two hamburger patties for supper with leftover beans. Supper is planned.
Everyone have a great Father’s day.
