I ran out early this morning to see the blooms begin
on all my day lilies
BEFORE
the deer prance in and
eat them all up
for their dessert!!
We only had 0.11" of rain overnight,
but there was a lot of thunder and
lightning flashing around...
Enough so that it woke us up to
sit a bit @ 3 a.m. in the
living room watching the
sky show for a while--
Then we went back to sleep--
or at least I did--My DH has
sleeping problems at the best of times,
so he only rested and got up early.
*********************
I am finding that I miss my sewing machine
more than I could've imagined...
So, I am doing a clean-up,
a bit at a time and also
checking out blocks I could make
with my whittled down stash and
scrappy bits...
Visualizing is not my forte,
so I really have to actually
"MAKE" a block to see how
I like it in the flesh, so to speak!
I am finding that a lot of blocks really
only lend themselves to big quilts
and I am not good at scaling down--
or I don't like how they look
after that process!!
We are pretty much staying inside today
as between the heat, humidity and
smokiness leftover in our air,
it is nasty out there...
Like a
SAUNA!!!
I hope your weekend is a good one
