We are starting to see and hear more birds! I love it! And last night, Bill and I and Scottie were walking around in the yard, looking at the stars. Been so long since we've seen stars here! We're chilly, but dry, for now. And signs of spring are everywhere! We'll be about 46* here this afternoon.
Yesterday I finished cutting the last of my Main Street quilt. It is put out by The Quilt Company - a BOM from 2003 - and it comes in 8 packets - 7 packets are different 'shops' and the last packet contains the finishing instructions. It's all pieced with only a few applique touches, like fire hydrant, a couple of trees, shop signs, a RR Crossing sign. This should keep me occupied for a while and hopefully out of trouble! Today, my sewing room needs a good cleaning. And there are still uglies to be done. So I plan to get on some of them today. One ugly was laundering the dog. This we did last night. He was in terrible need. Even for a sheltie he was looking pretty shaggy so I gave him a haircut, too. Today he's going to get a good brushing. So is the cat, for that matter. They have both been shedding big puffs of black hair everywhere on the floors.
TARDY TINA - (or as my brain saw it - TEENY TARDA -
) my SIL in NV forgot about the postcard. So she is sending one today. I'll ask Lara is they plan any travels into Maryland - a neighboring state for them. Did you ask Chickie if she could ask her DD to send a card from MO?BECCA - I'm so sorry your hubby had such a bad day. Prayers there is an improvement today. What is the new project you are contemplating? Your Denise is so special! I wonder where she learned to be so loving . . . .
CHICKIE - for sure, with a memory like that I wouldn't like Ivory soap either! lol! But I bet you never said those words again! (or maybe you did!) Yes, Scottie would fit right in with your Hooligans. He's a Hooligan at heart. But a much more handsome one now that he's clean and had his hairs trimmed. I've been itching to get our clothesline out, especially when I was washing some big pieces of fabric a few weeks ago. Maybe in a few weeks. . . Spring will be here in just 37 days!
JANA - Glad you are having a 'heat wave'! lol! Oooh, that pepper spray hurts! We've seen it occasionally on LIve PD, which, as you know, is our favorite show. The officers always tell the whining perps that they've been sprayed, too! Any news on that court case of Aaron's?
Last night's supper ended up being cork screw 3-color pesto pasta. I added black beans, sliced olives, and mushrooms. Plus a big salad. And we have enough for tonite so we'll be doing a repeat. Which is Ok, because it got a big thumbs up from the HOH. (He thinks that means Head of Household, but really it's an acronym for Hard of Hearing.
)What's getting a thumbs up at your house?
