QUESTION
Body my House
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen
Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt
Where can I go
without my mount
all eager and quick
How will I know
in thicket ahead
its danger or treasure
when Body my good
bright dog is dead
How will it be
to lie in the sky
without roof or door
and wind for an eye
With cloud shift
how will I hide?

********************************
MELANGE
The yellows will be brightening
this group up....
I have 5 more to make
which will give me 30 blocks for
a 5 x 6 layout.
*********************************
:)))))))
It was only 58 degrees at 6:30 and
cool this morning upon arising.
This will be a deck sitting morning
and some outdoor hand quilting time.
Hugs,

The yellows are a nice addition, Julierose. We returned to North Carolina (mountains) last evening and enjoyed cooler temps on the porch this morning. Can it be? Fall is really close?
ReplyDeleteA deck sitting morning stitching away sounds wonderful to me!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're adding yellows to your blocks. I loved today's weather. It's so nice to have that humidity gone! I have a feeling it will be back soon!
ReplyDeleteI think that is what I love about fall the most, cool nights and mornings. Even though it gets hot a few days the nights are pretty consistently cool.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the time sitting stitching on the deck your iris is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad poem I hope you are okay? Cooler today but very bright. The poem reminds me of "Captain, My Captain" [Whitman] or "Crossing the Bar" [Tennyson]....
ReplyDeleteLovely Zippers, on a happier note!
love

Those temps make for great sleeping weather and beautiful sitting and stitching on the deck weather. Hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe poem saddened me too, especially since I was JUST listening to a story on NPR about peoples' grief for their pets. Our last dog left us 5 years ago and I still mourn her.
ReplyDeleteCan I join you on the deck? Sounds wonderful. I will bring freshly baked blueberry muffins
ReplyDeleteStitching on the deck sounds like a wonderful pastime. I haven't spent much time on our balcony this summer for some reason.
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous iris!
ReplyDeleteyour Melange blocks are coming along. interesting mix of fabric! very scrappy and fun to look at.
