Good morning, my friends. How's September treating you so far? It was warm here yesterday, and it didn't really cool off overnight. I'm hoping we don't get another hot spell coming through. It seems like we've paid our dues for the year, doesn't it? (Says the person who spent most of the summer in Alaska.)
Just the border remained on my quilting project yesterday. That was a pretty quick round of the quilt. I used this upsy-downsy heart motif.

Good morning, my friends. So that's enough of that three-day weekend stuff. It's time to get back to work. My yesterday started with a trip to our plum tree to pick plenty of pretty purple plums. (Awesome alliteration.) Just look at these pretties...

Good morning, my friends. Happy Labor Day and welcome to September! Time marches on, doesn't it? Fall will be here soon enough. Our landscape is already showing signs.
It was a busy weekend for me. Matthew was here on Saturday and spent the day with us. It was good seeing him and hearing about all the things he's involved with. Then yesterday, I had some housework to do, and we also headed down to the neighbors' for an open house. We didn't stay long, but it still took a chunk out of the day.
Despite being busy ...

Good morning my friends. Our truck came home yesterday. Unfortunately, it has to go back again today. The air conditioner is working again, but not cooling very well. Probably it needs more refrigerant added, and we're hopeful that will fix it for good. If not, then I don't know. We're told it was an electrical issue, which would explain why it came on at times for a few minutes, then shut off again. Possibly some critter had chewed the electrical harness, but I'm no expert. It's a common occurrence here. Critters. Can't live with ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We've seen a big shift in the weather since we chatted yesterday. We even got a little rain this morning. There have been a few lightning strikes, and we've heard some thunder. That sort of thing isn't good when the landscape is so crispy and dry, and so we're hoping it doesn't spark a fire somewhere. We're not too worried about it where we are, but no new fires would be a good way to end the summer.

read moreGood morning, my friends. It was a mostly sewing day yesterday. It was too hot to be outside, although I did get out early to groom the poppies growing in whiskey barrels. I didn't take any pictures. There's really not much to see. My slow stitching had to wait since I wanted to get out before it got too hot.
When I got to it, I was able to finish off the first of the two embroidered sections for Block 6 of the Raggedy & Friends project.

Good morning, my friends. It was another hot day yesterday...98°F at our place, which is very unusual for us. Being at the top of a hill, we're generally a little cooler than they are in the valley. It was a good day to stay in and sew.
There was a little more progress on the Stitching Wisdom quilt. The bottom row of blocks has just one embroidered block. I did that one the same as I've done the others.

Good morning, my friends. It's looking like we're in for several days of hot weather. And if that wasn't bad enough, we're also under an air quality alert. Sounds like a good day to hide out in my refrigerated basement sewing room. We've been running the air conditioner, and that always sends the basement into freezer territory. When I'm in the basement, I'm wearing a hoodie, despite the hot temps outside.
The kitties were outside for a while. Smitty had to come inside to cool his tummy furs on the wood floor.

Good morning, my friends. Finally...writing at a leisurely pace. I can write slow through the weekend, but then it'll start back up again next week. We're taking the truck in Monday to have the air conditioner fixed. It's a little late for the hot weather, but oh well. On Tuesday, I'm getting my hair cut and colored. It's badly needed. But, hey...we have groceries to get us through the first part of next week, and that's always a good thing.
