What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

With Eliza still in the shop, I've been undecided about what to do next. But you might recall I was in the middle of making some masks when I stopped the day before. So, it made sense to finish those off. The person these masks were made for requested a western theme

We ended up running all over town yesterday, beginning with a trip to the vet for the kitties. We were sorry to disturb Sadie from her morning slumber, but we had appointments to keep.

It took quite a while to blast myself off the couch yesterday. I woke up so tired yesterday morning. After writing my post, I did some slow-stitching. Slow-stitching can make me sleepy in the same way reading a boring book can, and I could hardly keep my eyes opened to finish off the last bit of floss. When that was done, I slid down and took a morning nap. It was nearly noon before I got going.

It's hard to feel very celebratory on this, our American Independence Day. Recently I read a book by David McCullough, entitled 1776, all about the Revolutionary War and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The challenges and near-miraculous victory of the colonists was very inspiring. Our country is in dire straits right now, and the pandemic is only one item on our list of woes. Still, I continue to feel optimistic that there are better days ahead. And so when I went looking for an image to mark the day, I settled on this one with the superimposed ...

After writing yesterday's post, I went downstairs to observe this out the dining room window.

Oh yes...by all means...never settle for any bloomed out ones. Be sure to grab the buds and all the most colorful ones. I don't mind at all. Where's a cat when you need one?

Well, kitties are in coyote quarantine for the time being. Sadie doesn't mind. She uses this oppurrtunity to catch up on her purrsonal grooming.

Smitty doesn't like it. Not one bit. He ...

The day didn't go exactly as I thought it would yesterday. I've been on the hunt for some new slippers since discovering the sole coming loose on the right toe of mine. It's only a matter of time before I fall flat on my face and knock out my front teeth. We looked while we were grocery shopping on Tuesday, but found pretty slim pickings at our local megamart. Mike was on his way out yesterday morning when I decided to go with him.

Does it feel as if the year hasn't really gotten off the ground yet? Sheesh...this will literally be a year for the history books. Of course, they all are. I've found myself interested in the times 100 years ago, which were so similar to where we find ourselves today. I read The Great Influenza, by John M. Barry,. It started out a little dry, discussing the state of medical schools and medical education at the time. When I got past the beginning, though, and started reading about the times and the flu itself, it was fascinating. So ...

We're all so happy to see the sun again. Possibly, just possibly, summer has arrived at the Three Cats Ranch. Yesterday morning I got outside to pick a bucket of weeds. I was able to make it most of the way around the house before my bucket was full. This morning, I'll get out and hoe the vegetable garden, and then finish up with the rest of the weeds...she says, as if the job of weeding is ever "finished." Here's what I saw along my way.

We were expecting rain most of the day yesterday. It never really materialized. I was busy with my slow-stitching when I realized the sun was shining. I really wanted to get out and weed the vegetable garden, and so I packed up and wasted no time getting outside while the getting was good. Along my way to the vegetables, I took pictures of every blooming thing.
