Some randomness....


It is time for Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday 5....that's a good thing because I have no idea what I would have posted otherwise.  You would think with the nice weather I would have a lot to write about, but I don't.  So this might be a struggle to come up with 5....

1.  I have spent almost the entire day looking for the crib sized quilt batting I know I have, but with no success.  It reminded me of the graph above.

2.  Then I spent a good fifteen minutes finding the graph...I have shared it before but it is still so fitting every time I see it.

3.In my search for the above graph I found this one:
I haven't shown this to Roger, but I am sure he will identify with this.

4.  Is anyone else anxiously awaiting the arrival of the first tomato from the garden?

5.  Go see Revrunner's post with photos of clouds and read the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley.  The actual poem is longer.  I love the verses chosen to accompany the photos.  If you want, click here to read the entire poem.  It is pretty wonderful.

The day is done...

I have been sitting listening to the TV and looking at photos...couldn't resist posting this one again.  I know of at least one person that will enjoy it.
***********
Its been a good day, as days go.  I got to hang out another load of clothes.  That is always a good thing.  I sometimes just look for an excuse to do a load to hang outside.

But today, I did the one losf, and got busy with sewing. I am well on the way to having the baby quilt top finished.  I know I have a crib sized batting but cannot place my hands on it.  I was weary by the time I wanted to find it, so did not do a good search.  I want to find it before I put the borders on the quilt top.

I am to the point where I need a big tote for my battings and pieces of battings.  I would save a lot of time if they were all in one place.

In the wind....

This was taken a few years ago....at an Amish farm. 

The sun shone and the sky was blue today, and it was oh, so nice.  After two days of overcast skies and so chilly of needing a jacket to be outside, I have returned to thinking just maybe summer is better than winter!

I just need to start being up and out early when the heat starts.  If I get up and am out as the day heats up, it does not bother me near as bad as when I wait and it hits me full force the first time.

At least it is good weather for hanging out clothes, which I did today.  Two loads....may do another tomorrow.

I had to go to Walmart....I am not even saying how much I spent on catfood.  The bad thing is it will not last the month.  I sometimes think how far the money would go in feeding hungry people, but then who would take care of the cats.  Does anyone else have these weird thoughts?  It goes through my mind every so often.
*************

I finally got to sew a few lines this evening...the first time in a few days other than helping Lorelei sew a few lines.  I am hoping to get back to my projects...yes, projects.  I was waiting to get more batiks for my daughter's quilt and started a baby quilt.  I will probably finish it before I get back to her quilt....I am not sure when the baby is due, but just want to finish it now that it is started.  And since it is small, it won't take too long.
