Yesterday I read something almost "Dogust," which was inward reference to the "dog days of summer," exclusively alongside actual dogs. And, of course, nosotros hither at the Three Cats Ranch only sniffed at that reference. We know that these are truthful cat days...each in addition to every twenty-four hr stream of the year. It was warm yesterday, though. Smitty constitute his favorite cool location inward the house, on overstep of the china cabinet. The surface stays cool in addition to cools off his tummy.
Sadie is plotting murder I think. As nosotros instruct downward the stairs, nosotros convey to hold upwards careful of cats lying inward wait.
Yesterday morning, I sat in addition to stitched upwards November's heart. It took a trivial longer than expected, but I wanted to instruct it done.
After that, I needed to move out in addition to H2O the thirsty bloom pots. I'll convey to produce that i time to a greater extent than today since it's been warm the past times brace of days. While nosotros were gone, the carmine tomatoes ripened inward abundance. We're non plucking them from the flora fast enough, in addition to thence I'll belike selection all of the ripe ones today. Matthew is coming, in addition to he'll taste them too.
Also, I harvested the get-go of the greenhouse tomatoes. There isn't plenty to produce much here, but maybe a squeamish pico de gallo or something else salsa like.
Also, Mike decided he could pose off planting in conclusion year's Christmas tree no longer. It finally has a abode inward the middle loop of our driveway.
With exterior move done, I got to move quilting the Quiltemala quilt. This is going rattling well, in addition to it's also going pretty fast. The bottom one-half of the quilt is finished, in addition to I await to complete the repose of the quilting today.
With the hand-woven fabrics fraying thence badly, I'm quilting it rather densely alongside this motif I telephone yell upwards a "square stipple." I was using the in conclusion of a gray Superior thread. When it was gone, I switched to a greyness Aurifil. I've decided Aurifil threads are the best ones to purpose alongside Eliza. When I switched, the machine started stitching thence nicely, in addition to fifty-fifty to a greater extent than quietly. I've noticed this before. Making the switch mid-quilt has actually convinced me to stick alongside Aurifil for my Babylock Tiara II machine.
When I quit for the day, it was looking similar this. You tin mail away come across the dorsum inward the ikon below. The quilt dorsum is pieced alongside the domestic homespun in addition to the balance of the Republic of Guatemala manus wovens. It's hard to fifty-fifty come across the quilting on the Republic of Guatemala fabrics.
So I'm pretty happy alongside how this is all working out. I'm hoping to complete the quilting today, in addition to only possibly, I'll instruct the binding sewn on too. The strips are cut, but non sewn together yet.
For in conclusion night's dinner, I was on a bespeak to purpose the CSA broccoli in addition to around of the CSA onions. I tried this novel recipe for Bacon, Gruyere, in addition to Broccoli Quiche. It was pretty easy. I used a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust in addition to the repose went together fairly quickly. It was tasty, in addition to in that location were leftovers for ii days of breakfasts. Can't musical rhythm out that. I baked it inward my toaster oven, in addition to thence I didn't convey to warm upwards the family much. Looks good, huh?
I used diced pancetta inward identify of the bacon, in addition to I sauteed the onions inward the drippings from the pancetta. Also, the recipe calls for ii cups of milk or low-cal cream. I had only a fleck of heavy cream left, in addition to and thence I added 2% milk to brand upwards the difference. It was a practiced consistency, in addition to I'd produce that again.
Okay, thence dorsum to my quilting. I'm rattling hopeful things volition move on moving along smoothly, in addition to I tin mail away instruct that large quilt finished up.
