After sewing nearly circular the clock for ii guide days, I took a 24-hour interval off from the sewing room. That isn't to tell I did anything productive, but it was proficient to come upward out of my basement sewing room in addition to into the light. We had a overnice 24-hour interval of conditions yesterday. By "nice day," I hateful it didn't rain. It was yet enough cold. Not every bit mutual frigidity every bit you lot folks dorsum east. Oh my gosh...I experience sorry for you lot inwards those temps. I can't fifty-fifty imagine it.
So, anyway...there was a piffling chip of sewing inwards the shape of deadening stitching. I started on the newest Appalachian Memories block.
It's waiting for me downstairs every bit I write this, in addition to thence I'll larn to a greater extent than done on it today. My biggest finish for yesterday was to leave of absence for a walk. For this, I receive got a build spanking novel handbag of horsey treats.
With a few of those loaded into a zip-lock bag, I was cook to caput out. As I was leaving, I noticed Miss Sadie on hummingbird patrol.
Pause hither for a minute to admire my build clean windows. The window-washer guy hasn't been hither since terminal summer. That's hummingbird poop, if you lot must know.
Knowing Sadie was guarding against marauding hummingbirds, I felt rubber leaving. So, off I went. The get-go matter I noticed was that the daffodils our vecino planted along the shared driveway are already heading up. Mine are barely poking to a higher identify ground.
And then, at the overstep of the driveway, I saw the horses. And they saw me. Here they come!
We talked for a few minutes spell they crunched on their treats, in addition to thence I went along my way.
So here's something, in addition to this drives me a piffling chip crazy. (Haven't you lot noticed?) What is upward amongst this discussion "POSTED"? The Google has left me sorely disappointed on this question. Why is it necessary to deliver this message preceded past times the discussion "Posted"?
Matthew in addition to I discussed this spell nosotros were walking on New Year's Day. Matthew stance it meant something along the lines of "Hey, You! Yeah, you!" Or maybe..."I've got something to say!" Or maybe..."Listen up!" Or maybe, "Hey, A$$hole! Yeah, I'm talking to you!"
But, you lot know...I'm reading the sign...there's no argue to yell.
Why non only tell it guide out? Here's one. No "Posted" earlier the of import role of the message.
Or why non only locomote on it brusk in addition to to the betoken similar this one?
That message comes through loud in addition to clear.
Okay...so that's the halt of my random rant of the day. I should likely practise a label for random rants thence that I tin terminate honour them in addition to update them.
As for things of interest, the H2O droplets are yet nigh the best matter going on these walks. The ane below is moss growing on a fighting post.
Here's a bluish spruce sparkling inwards the sunshine.
My finish was to accomplish the overstep of the colina because I had an stance I would honour a rug of clouds there. As I approached, I could run into the clouds rolling over the hilltop.
From there...
It's ane of my favorite sights. It looks every bit if you lot could only walk correct out there. Don't though. That would non halt good for you.
Everything is greenish amongst moss correct now.
Here are some nosy neighbors.
They don't quest to position "posted" on their sign.
I liked the contrast of colors inwards this side past times side image.
This plane was singing in addition to singing in addition to singing. It's difficult to tell what form of a plane this is. My friend, Judy the Birder, would tell that it's an LBJ (Little Brown Job).
When they paved the route this past times summer, they get-go made it wider. That meant cutting away at the banks on each side until they appear dangerously only about collapsing. Later, they came through in addition to sprayed seed on the sides, in addition to directly this materials is appearing inwards keen quantities.
By then, I was nearly home. Our neighbor's truthful cat was ahead of me.
And that was the halt of my walk.
Here's something: My friend Carmen sent me this piffling blueprint from Bonnie Sullivan. I dear her stuff.
I'll utilization this to build the wall hanging. Carmen fifty-fifty sent me the bundle of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation cutting applique pieces. Cool! I've never used these before, in addition to thence it seems similar quite a luxury.
And await at those piffling beads in addition to buttons. Squee!
Well, that's going to hold upward fun. Thank you, Carmen. This beingness a Christmas piece, I retrieve I'll hold off until a piffling after inwards the yr to start on it thence that I tin terminate locomote on it during the season.
Today I quest to build a trip to the grocery store. My listing is fairly short, in addition to thence it shouldn't hold upward also traumatizing for me or anybody else. There are a few housekeeping chores on tap, in addition to thence I promise to larn dorsum to my sewing. Today I'll start quilting the Alley Cats Quilt Guild. I receive got some ideas nigh what to practise now. Being a modest quilt, it shouldn't accept also long.
The long weekend is over...time to larn dorsum to business.
