Good morning! Serving Newman's and French Vanilla SF creamer on the deck this morning. It's going to be a gloriously sunny morning after the clear Big Moon last night but you'll need a sweater. Grab one of the quilts that are ready for me to take to my Victoria's Quilts meeting and sit and sip a bit.
We got lots of stuff sorted for the Church yard sale yesterday - and lots bagged to go to the dump. I wish people would not use yard sale donation requests to ditch their garbage! Anyhow, we got things sorted and fished out some treasures for ourselves. Susan bought a brand new room size rug and I got one dozen brand new champagne flutes. John and Rob went home with several things that I had donated. Now I need to focus on digging and potting plants for that part of the sale. I have two weeks and am hoping to get it done a bit at a time every day.
Off to the gym and then to the quilting group with two completed quilts and three pieced tops for batting and backing. I am planning to take a wee sabbatical from Victorias Quilts until fall, I think. We have two dozen quilts on hand for distribution which should see us through the summer. I need to concentrate on my garden, the Village plantings, the Mill and the Fair for the next three months and will try to shut off the part of my brain that is addicted to designing quilts.
Drove through the Village late yesterday afternoon and see that the Centennial crab trees are all in blossom, huge splashes of deep rose from the free trees that my Uncle Bob got from Ottawa in Canada's centennial year of 1967. Bob drove the Ottawa and brought back bundles of "twigs" for the village. He got teased a lot for giving everyone "kindling" but it sure looks pretty around here in May.
On with the day and looking forward to some garden time this afternoon. I also look forward to sitting in the sun and hemming two pair of pants for Karen - I'm still not sure how I ended up doing this. Guess I forgot how to say no.
Happy Monday!
