Happy Sunday! Happy March!
Chriss, Oral health is important for all body health, but especially cardiac. The moral of this story is to keep your teeth in good shape! I even had to have a clean bill of dental health sent to my surgeon before I could get my hip replacement. I'm glad Dad is able to fix your mower. The man does love a project, doesn't he! Praying for good results on your MRI. Is it today or tomorrow?
Lori, you are really hot considering it's still technically winter! Hope you cool off. I said I remodeled in '89, but we've done floors, counters, and appliances a few times since then. It's nice to have that back up house (and fridge!) up the street!
LYN - sorry about the forest animals fabric. The blue bonnet panel sounds beautiful. I love those bluebonnet fabrics! Have you ever been to the Cotton Cupboard in Lakeway? It's on Storm Dr off 620. They have my name on file! Only a mile or two south of our RV park. It's heart rending for you and Garry to be in this situation. I think of you often and say a little prayer.
JANA - glad you finally got your smoocher on that hairy little guy! None of my babies had real hair - just fuzz. Our dishwasher is very quiet, too. A Bosch. I have to look at the lights on it to be sure it's running.
JUDI - how is your niece doing? She has a lot going on. Sorry your day - and Ken's, too - turned out not as planned. I was in Michael's yesterday and not much St. Pat's stuff there, either. Maybe there was a few weeks ago, but it's all Easter now.
MQ - I don't have very many specialty rulers, but I do have lots of squares and rectangles. I have both sizes Sew Wonderful, two different sets of DWR, all of QIAD's geese, a large setting triangle, and some circles. That's about it. Oh, and a 2" hexie template that YOU gave me!
LOIS - We have some little Marie Calendar's chix pot pies in the freezer. But I'm not too crazy about those. I much prefer my homemade - then I know what's going into it .
FLO - smart thinking - do your planting and then let Mom Nature do the watering.
No yard work yesterday after all. With the breeze, the feels-like temp wasn't up to my yard working standards. Maybe today or tomorrow. I saw my first robin a week ago. Though some winters they stick around all winter. I've looked up why geese honk. A navigational aide, helps hold formation on long flights, helps train younger geese, alert system, and more. We've had an exceptionally mild winter here. We always have a daffodil festival and parade and this year it's supposed to be April 19th - but daffodils are in full bloom now. If they want the daffs in the parade they are going to have to move up the date!
I finished Drew's Japanese Lantern wall hanging. It measures 10x25. We went shopping for frames. There are none even close to that size. I could enlarge it with a small border but still no frames. So I'm going to keep it a small quilt and bind it today. I also made a pair of pillowcases for friends, using WSU fabrics. They will be a hostess gift next time our supper club meets at their house.
Big news story here that has made some national outlets - a 32 yr old man who practiced black magic went off his meds and stabbed his mom to death as well as 3 neighbors who were trying to help. When Law Enforcement got the call they were already on their way to the house to serve a protection order. The Deputy had to shoot the guy. That took place about 6 miles from our house, but right outside the small neighborhood where I used to live. These kinds of crimes have increased since they've closed so many mental health places in our state.
As for sewing - I don't really want to start any brand new projects while I still have a set of swap blocks and one of lotto blocks to assemble. So, one of those might be on my sewing agenda. There are four quilts in the quilting queue and so far none of them seem to be moving. If I mention them, they will be there even longer! One is a baby quilt for my walking buddy's first grandbaby, due March 19 so I may have to give my quilter a gentle nudge. They others have no deadline.
Not sure what is on today's agenda. I'm going to put a pot roast into the crockpot. If weather holds, I'll get to those roses. But tomorrow is supposed to be warmer . .
Have a blessed Sunday

Some people think they should never be trimmed. The Red Tips are pretty and have leaves year round but the people that built this house planted them a foot from the porch. I have trimmed them a couple times but they are now above the rain gutters and rubbing on the house. The people told me that they can cause problems with the concrete porch. Trying to transplant is real iffy. I will be digging them out and if it looks like I get enough roots, I may try sticking in a hole farther back in the yard. I plan to work on that when I get home this afternoon.
