The cool air was perfect to spend some time in the gardens this morning. A late breakfast was enjoyed on the patio. It was safe . . . the curious one, Snuggles, has decided that plain yogurt is not his cup of tea. Dennis passed on my choice of breakfast for his all time favorite, Oatmeal.

As the warm temps creep in, so did the bugs and that is when I headed into the sewing studio. Having a few projects in the works comes in very handy. What I was surprised at was the message that awaited me when I turned on the Bernina. In the display was a very clear message, in color, that it was time to get the sewing machine oil busy. It is so easy to forget how many thousands of stitches are eaten up when the embroidery function is running.

I needed a quiet stint in the sewing studio to prepare myself for Lorraine’s visitation at the funeral home that will be followed by the funeral tomorrow. Out of respect for Lorraine I “show up.”
