60* here this morning and dark. It used to be completely light by this time a month ago. Hate seeing the days growing shorter.
Yesterday, I didn't really know what I was going to do. But like it always does, the day filled up quickly! Walk, Costco, wiping grocery items, cutting up watermelon and veggies, moping floor. Washing bedding and remaking bed. Then the afternoon was spent sorting pictures. We had them printed at Costco (1,300) and it took me all afternoon to sort and file them into photo boxes. Of course, someone who shall remain nameless but who lives in this house and isn't the cat or the dog or me, came along when I took a break, and tidied up all my messy stacks - into one pile! I had to start all over again. Sigh. I completely filled one photo box and all my quilt pix were in another 4" pile. I really need to print my pictures more often. . . . or stop taking pictures!
Today, besides hoping to work on my QOV a little more, I think I'll clean the family room. It needs dusting and a good sweep/vac. Maybe our adjacent bedroom, too. And I'm HOPING I can talk Mr. Bill into going to Home Depot for some curved cottage stones to surround our firepit, just to give a nice finished look. We relocated it about 12 feet from where we had it for 30 years. The vegetation was growing up too much it was scorching when we had campfires.
JANA - yay on the chicken! And on the picnic! Sounds like it was fun. I have a cookbook my sister gave me of recipes from well known restaurants. I should look and see if your chicken is in there.
BECCA - a short thunderstorm every afternoon might be nice - for a while. While at my brother's in North Pole, AK last summer, we spent most days outside on his patio, but had to move the party into the garage for 1/2 hour every afternoon. Then dodge the puddles afterward!
LORI - 110*!?! I think I'd be home in a puddle if it were that hot here! You must be very acclimated to the heat by now. Congratulations on winning the JN pattern! What color scheme do you plan to use? Going to use batiks or regular cotton? Or do you know yet?
I haven't worked out supper plans yet. Maybe stew? I use hamburger in my stews and beer and tomato juice for the liquid. We'll see what idea floats the HOH's boat when he wakes up. (He thinks that means Head of Household, but I told him in the medical field it's HARD OF HEARING).
