Gray Day

It is so cool outside and the clouds are heavy.  When I went for my walk, the kinks in my legs from not walking for two days started to feel better.  Though the legs were used and used well from pushing the mower on Saturday, it’s a different stretch when walking is done.  I know I need to walk whenever I can.

Neighbors-DriveIt has been said that we had four inches of rain over the Saturday night and Sunday.  Surprisingly the grass was dry this morning and few puddles.  We were short for rain.  The rain did do a number on the crab apple blossoms.  Our neighbor’s drive looks like a fairy tale path.  The lilacs are still holding onto their beauties. 

I had not been in the sewing studio for almost a week.  Hmm.  I think it was because there was a project down there that was started and it really wasn’t my cup of tea.  I have said that tastes in clothing and food carries through to what we want to stitch under the needle.  Today I have sewn up the backing for this quilt top pattern that is called Folk Art.  It may grow on me.  Folk-Art-Quilt-TopI have called my long-arm quilter and will be put on her list to have this Folk Art project finished up.  I will find a home for it.  It was a quilt kit given to me and I didn’t have the heart to not show appreciation of such gift.  It deserves to be shown as a finished quilt to give comfort to someone.  I can now look forward to working on . . . hmm . . . I guess I don’t have anything right now to start.  That may change in the blink of an eye. 

We are having an egg noodle, tuna and mixed vegetable hotdish for supper.  That will take me off of the hook for tonight’s supper and tomorrow night’s supper.  Hotdish while the temps are chilly works.  Not a favorite to heat up the house once the temps stay in the 80s.  We have been using what is in the pantry.  I have not been in the mood for grocery shopping and I can guarantee you Dennis is being fed very well.  He has been out of his one-a-day York Peppermint candy bars for some time . . . and the withdrawal has been going well.  When he does have one, he will enjoy it oh so much more.  Sympathy cards may be received from my ole cowboy.
