What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was a dark day yesterday. That usually means something truly terrible happened. In this case, it was just a dark sky from thick cloud cover. And it rained, and rained, and rained. If one can believe the forecast, we'll get some relief from this atmospheric river system we've been in. Ordinarily, I see the rain as good weather for sewing. So many days of darkness has me longing to get outside for a bit. Mike suggested we go out for Korean food last night, and I'd already been thinking the same thing ...

Good morning, my friends. Well. What a day we had yesterday. By day's end, Smitty was channeling our combined energy.

A lot has happened since we last chatted. Let's start with the sewing, shall we? I have some things to tell you about our day on Saturday, but I'll save that for the end. If you're not interested in hearing about the protest, please feel free to opt out when you see me climb up on my soapbox. For now...the sewing, and nothing but the sewing. And cats. Of course, there will be cats.

Good morning, my friends, and thank goodness it's Friday! I'm getting my hair cut today, and there's just one other item on my list of to-do's. Aside from that, it'll be a mostly sewing day. We're going to see some nice weather over the next couple of days...always appreciated when I need to drive into town for any reason.

When I left you yesterday, Smitty was just settling in for a morning nap.

Good morning, my friends. First off, let me just say I'm glad I'm not going anywhere today. Yesterday's blood-sucking debacle cured me of most anything I wanted to do yesterday. I ended up spending a good part of the day under a quilt snuggled up with my Warmie. Frankly, our weather is moving into the season when I'm cold all the time. Thank goodness for cats and Warmies. But, honestly, when I got home yesterday, I wrote my blog post, ate some lunch, and then laid down for a long nap. When I woke up, I ...

Good morning, my friends. My night of sleep was short last night. It took me absolutely forever to fall asleep, but I was up at my usual time after just about 3 hours of shuteye. My mind was busy with everything I need to do, and there's no more procrastinating. Today, I really must start doing some packing. For the past couple of days, I've been doing some cooking and baking ahead. On yesterday's to-do list was to bake up these Chocolate-chunk Oatmeal Cookies with Pecans and Dried Cherries. Several years back, I scaled this favorite cookie ...

Good morning, my friends! Happy Saturday! We had a dry day yesterday, and it was very nice to get outside for a little bit. My only venture outside was to fill the bird feeders. The kitties were happy to get outside for a nice munch of their favorite grass. Think of it as the green, green grass of home. They like it better than the stuff they get while we're traveling.

Good morning, my friends! Happily, I announce that I'll have the house to myself today and tomorrow. It isn't that I don't enjoy having Mike around...I do. On the other hand, a chance to go a little bohemian is always appealing. There were a couple of housekeeping chores on the calendar for today and tomorrow, but I moved those to a different day. Aside from watering the flower pots, these two days are mine, all mine.

It was a mostly driving day yesterday, and we're now set up in Boulder City for the next two weeks. We were just discussing our plans for this place. My x-ray is set up for early Monday morning in Henderson (about 30 minutes away), and so we'll use that time to visit a quilt shop and a hardware store. 

When we drove into town yesterday, I wasn't looking for a sign, and so I almost missed it. When I took it off the camera this morning, I noticed it was built to look like Hoover Dam.

Yesterday's pretty sunrise was a portent of the crappy day of weather ahead of us. It was blustery and cloudy, and by day's end a big black cloud formed in the sky, dumping rain for most of the evening. Today, we're back to sunshine, although it is decidedly cooler than it has been. We still want to do some hiking, but I have a feeling we'll wait until the weekend is over. Maybe not...one never knows.

It's that final push before a trip to get everything done. It's the part I dislike most about traveling. We're always so busy before we leave, and then it's a relief to get under way. As I've said many times, camping is forced relaxation. There simply isn't that much to do once we get going. The push ahead of time can be exhausting. We're taking the smaller truck camper for this trip, and so there isn't as much to do since there isn't as much room. We simply can't take ...
