Friday started off amongst a alert of sorts. Sue came through amongst the weenie award, which I'd won, fair together with square. I claimed the weenie accolade several weeks agone when I weenied out on our regularly-scheduled walk, whining well-nigh beingness likewise busy. "I take away to become grocery shopping...whaaaaaaaaa." I intend those mightiness convey been my exact words. Anyway...there it is...mine until Sue weenies out adjacent time. Then it volition endure hers again.
Yesterday I noticed the appointment on the back: 11/09. One or the other of us has been the official holder of the weenie accolade since Nov of 2009. We've been walking since sometime inwards 2005...I can't recollect certainly when nosotros started.
We were walking the Fanno Creek Trail. There's a department of the trail where a small-scale pond forms together with nosotros ofttimes come across ducks together with ducklings there, along amongst the occasional red-winged or tri-colored blackbird, corking blueish heron, and/or snowy egrets. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 fourth dimension or two, we've seen hawks. Yesterday, nosotros were met past times some ducks.
Got whatever Cheetohs? Fritos? Doritos?
And the pond had flooded the trail. We considered passing, merely the H2O was several inches deep, together with murky amongst sludge.
We decided to plough back, together with therefore took a dissimilar branch of the trail. Same affair there. This seems real odd inwards July.
Mike idea H2O mightiness convey been released from a dam upstream. I tried to uncovering some information well-nigh it, merely couldn't uncovering anything relevant to the electrical current fourth dimension period. Nevertheless, I did uncovering some information well-nigh Fanno Creek here, if you're interested.
We turned dorsum again, together with therefore headed dorsum to our cars, appropriately discouraged for the day. Along the way, nosotros passed this sign.
Now they country us. We could convey died out there!
There were a few things I needed from the grocery store. When I got home, I took a nap. There's no practiced argue for that, except that I felt similar it. Sometimes I intend it's of import to give inwards to our strongest of laziness urges. We had some lunch, together with therefore I worked a trivial fight on the Shop Hop embroidery, polishing off the cite of i shop.
And therefore I tried to bore myself to death. I considered all the possible ways I could pass my afternoon, checking each i off amongst a heart-felt "Nah!" Finally, beingness unable to stand upwards myself whatever longer, I got upwards together with made a label for the Quiltmaker's Garden. It's due inwards Salem mid-August, together with therefore I actually take away to larn it develop to go. The edge for this was a complimentary download I establish online. I added the text.
And instantly It's printed on fabric. I'll pose a trivial edge some it together with therefore run upwards it to the quilt. Also, I started piecing together the remaining scraps of stuff I convey to elbow grease to come upwards up amongst the length together with width I take away for a hanging sleeve. It mightiness endure a lost elbow grease since the stuff appears to convey been chewed off the cease of the quilt past times squirrels; non actual squirrels, yous understand. It was me together with my scissors, masquerading every bit squirrels. If that's the case, I'll purpose some muslin.
As for today, I'll endure doing some cooking. We convey dinner guests coming tomorrow. I'm keeping our bill of fare elementary together with making most things ahead. There volition endure to a greater extent than things to do tomorrow, merely getting a caput outset today volition help. I'm hoping to larn some fourth dimension to come about the hanging sleeve afterwards today.
