Good morning, my friends. No more progress was made on the lemurs yesterday. I spent most of the day on my kitchen projects. By the time I could get to my sewing, I just wanted to sit and stitch on the quilt binding until it was finished. It took of most of the remainder of the afternoon, but eventually, I'd turned all four corners.

Good morning, my friends. It was another hot day yesterday. Happily, our air quality has improved significantly. We were rated at "Unheathy" just a few days ago. Now, we're rated as "Very Good." And that's the way we like it.
Since I had no excuse for not hoeing the garden, that was my first stop after slow-stitching in the morning. Getting outside, the first thing I noticed was how the morning sunshine was making our maple tree glow.

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday ended up being a less hectic day than expected. We left for the grocery store a little later than I’d hoped. Originally, I’d planned to start some chili and bake some cornbread when we got home. But then, we decided while doing our shopping we’d just get a pizza from Papa Murphy’s on the way home. Pizza. It saves lives.
Before we left, I had time to take the first stitches on December’s block for A Year in the Garden. Mainly, I was just using the leftover bits from the ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Our air quality was a little better yesterday. By afternoon, our sky was looking more blue than the sick yellow of the past few days. It’s looking even better this morning. As is my usual routine in the morning, I checked in on the garden. There were a couple of zucchini to harvest, and the weeds are still manageable. After that, I filled the bird feeders and then headed back inside for my slow-stitching.
Block 7 for “Home is Where My Flock Is” is finished now.

Good morning, my friends. Our air quality continued to suck yesterday. According to our local newspaper, Portland has the worst air quality on the planet right now.

Good morning, my friends. Well...the best laid plans, you know. When we decided to take our boat out, it was a beautiful day with sunshine and blue sky. Yesterday...not so much. It was terribly smoky in our world. I read in our local newspaper that Portland was in the world's top 10 for worst air quality. It's a dubious distinction to be sure. Here's a picture that accompanied the article. Yikes.
And we could see smoke in the air where we were. So, we decided to stay in with the A/C turned on for ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It was my monthly pedicure day, and so there wasn't a lot of time left in the day for sewing. Still, I managed to finish up the quilting on the Kittens, and I had about 45 minutes to spend on the Lemurs...a good day, all in all. Starting with the Kittens, just the outer border remained.

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't a lot on yesterday's to-do list, which left me plenty of time to get distracted with trip planning. We're planning a trip to South Dakota and Colorado next year (that's fall of 2027). When I noticed a destination we could add to our trip, I got completely immersed in re-routing an itinerary I'd already planned, as I am wont to do. When I looked at the clock, it was after lunch time. Oy. Oh well. Onward. (Honestly, I have as much fun planning a trip as I have when ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. There was a lot to do in the kitchen yesterday, and so I went straight to work on that before I did anything else. First, I wanted to try another method with the Granola Cups. We really like these a lot for breakfast, and I think I've finally hit on the magic formula. This was my fourth attempt.

Good morning my friends. It was a productive day yesterday. There were about a half dozen simple to-do's on my list, and I had everything done by lunch time. After that, I could get back to my sewing with no interruptions...except to let cats in and out. If you know cats, then you know they are always, always, always on the wrong side of the door.
My first stop was the garden to check the beans. It was the first day I didn't have to redirect any of them. I harvested two more zucchinis and another tomato ...
