I woke up at 2:30, laid in bed until 3:30, and here I am. I do like to get up early, but geeze louise! I beat the fur-folk up today! But I got an early start on a few chores - dishwasher and such. I got some of my travel fabrics put away and selected some to use on March lotto. I think I'll give it a try today. I have a few last things to tidy up in the trailer and I hope to get a backing at least organized if not actually started for one of the quilts I made in Texas. I ordered 108" backing for Fab Farm so it's on hold, but I still have Unicorns, Cats in PJ's, and Fox in Pines to back. So, no boredom in my sewing room here!
Yesterday we got our errands done, visited our friend, and then I spent a few hours in the kitchen. I cleaned veggies, packaged things for the freezer, and baked a cherry pie. And cleaned up each mess as I went. I think kitchen work is harder on my back/hips than gardening. (And I did do about 15 min of that, too!)
MARY Q - glad you had a nice visit with your DB while he was here. And he'll be home again in 6 weeks! It will be fun to go visit him at his new cabin. Do you by any chance know how long his Airstream is? There are a lot of Airstream clubs and groups. We've seen caravans of them going up the Alaska highway. Our friends did it in their new 34' Airstream. Anyhoo - did you get your pie made? Don't forget, those dates on packages of food (like pie crusts) are a best by date, not an expiration date. Your crusts are probably still fine.
TINA - Thanks for reminding me about sheet pan meals! I think that's what I'll make tonite. How do you fix your zucchini? It's not my favorite veggie, but I'm open to tasty ways to season and prepare it.
LORI - As for projects kitted up and ready to go - I've got five of them! All Christmas or Halloween plus Eliz Hartman's Butterflies - a few wallhangings, a tablerunner, and two quilts. I'm set for a while, I think.

BECCA - didn't see you at the table yesterday. I hope all is OK. Is your BP settling down and stabilizing? And how is the new baby? They should be going home from the hospital today or tomorrow?
So thanks to Tina giving me the idea, I'm going to make a chicken/potato/brussels sprouts sheet pan supper. And a salad. I love meals that are simple to prep and then just pop in the oven at 5pm. And we still have cherry pie for afters.
What's the plan at your house?
