What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The world's oldest known bird, an Albatross named Wisdom, has returned to her southern nesting site for the 2025- 2026 breeding season. She is 75 years old at least. She had the same mate for 60 years but she is back this year with a new one. What a wonder!

Good morning, my friends. Since I'm sitting here writing, then you've probably figured out I made it home from my haircut appointment safely. It rained pretty much the whole time I was out, but only lightly. There were a few areas of flooding around some of the creeks in the area, but I'm not aware of any real problems in our area. The worst flooding is farther north in Western Washington. There wasn't a lot of information in this morning's news about it. If you live in that area, then I hope you're high ...

Today, was one of those days where it poured! Rained all day! They are expecting flooding, so it's going to be interesting the next couple of days. 

I headed out to Georgie's house for embroidery. I pulled out my Round Robin piece out to work on. Yep, I forgot I had it and needed to finish it. 

Good morning, my friends. It was another busy day yesterday. I got a late start after sleeping in later than usual, but I still managed to cross off the things on my list. I wanted to get busy with the Peppermint Bark before I did anything else. It's very easy to make. The hardest part of the whole thing is getting the dratted paper off the candy canes. Mike helped with that. When it was finished, it looked like this.

Good morning, my friends. Oh my goodness! I have so much to show you today. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I met up with Matthew yesterday for a visit to the Portland Puppet Museum. His house was looking very festive. Not bad for two single guys sharing a household.

The Portland Puppet Museum is one of just ten puppet museums in the United States, and it's the only permanent puppet museum on the West Coast. The collection boasts over 2,000 puppets from over 38 countries, and is so large that the museum rotates exhibits every four ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a foggy morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. I'm heading out later today to meet up with Matthew. We've been trying to get together at least once per month. He lives on the other side of the river, and so we're about an hour's distance apart. You might recall when we went walking and had a tea party a couple of months back. The day started out rainy, but then cleared in the afternoon, and it was lovely. 

Pretty days like that have been few and far between, and ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, we're set for groceries for another week or so. Having not done any grocery shopping for nearly two weeks, our list was long. We were also slow getting out of the house. I did everything I could to procrastinate, including spending some extra time with my slow stitching. I can say I'm off to a good start on the latest Raggedy & Friends block.

Good morning, my friends. It's been 12 days since our last grocery shopping trip. I'm afraid we can't avoid it any longer. Happily, it's senior discount day at our grocery store. It never works out to much, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. If nothing else, it's an incentive not to put it off until tomorrow.

Yesterday had me finishing off the third block for Home is Where My Flock Is. This one stitched up pretty quickly.

A November sky if ever I saw one...Milder and wet, then a big freeze overnight turned the morning landscape into an ice covered fairyland. I thought it was hoar frost but I've read since it was rime frost, a dangerous frost for ships at sea. This kind of ice is thick and grows in the direction of the wind.
