Seen in Rockville, Indiana

We were returning home during one of our drives in the last snow and happened to come through Rockville...couldn't believe it when we saw this.  It is just so odd what you can happen upon when out rambling around.

Another sunny day, though still on the cool side.  If not for the wind, would have been plenty warm.  Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer.

I have been quilting on a baby quilt.  It is almost half quilted.  I will have to get more thread before long...I am kind of thinking of running tomorrow to get it.  The quilting is the same as that of the quilt in my header.  It is going to be a baby shower gift and I was afraid to try something new, so stuck with something I always love.  I just love the texture this type of quilting gives.  Hopefully by the end of next week it will be finished, providing nothing happens in between now and then.

Our sunshine...

 We went to visit our little ray of sunshine over the weekend...

 they were at this park not too far from their house so that is where we went first thing...

 I had never seen steps quite like this...notice how tall it is.

 and here she is having a blast on this other thing...don't even know what it is called...

But you can tell by the expression on her face that she was having a blast.

This shows her friend Emily...Emily is about 2 years older than Lo...they have been best buddies almost since the day Lo was born.

It was a nice day today...got to hang out clothes.  A little nippy....but supposed to be getting warmer through the week.  Which is a good thing as we are planning to have Lorelei Friday night and Saturday night.

I am continuing to discard things...a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  I love that I am actually getting rid of things, but could almost get discouraged cause I don't even miss it.

Hickory chickens....

I know they are morels, but I like the more whimsical name of hickory chickens.  We heard them called that down home.  This one was actually growing here at our house in 2009.  It was growing under the edge of the trailer.   Roger was mowing the yard, maybe for the first time.  We had had the big old maple tree cut down the year before and it was near what would have been the old stump.  I don't expect to find them here this year, but do hope we get to find some at our 'mushroom hunting grounds.'

It is going to be partly cloudy this day...has been overcast ever since I got up but I am finally seeing just a tiny bit of blue sky.  I was so hoping for a totally sun filled day.  At least, it is still supposed to get warm again.

Yesterday I got to sit outside and read!  For the first time this year.  We spend a lot of happy hours sitting on the porch--and I don't care how hot it gets, I will be out there for a while every day of the summer.

I am still discarding...just a few items at a time.  I am convinced that we all have more than we need.  To be able to get rid of as much stuff as I have and not even miss it tells that story.  I think if nothing happens I am going to have Roger give me a hand today in getting some things down where I can go through them.

Then there is the boxes...am I the only one that hangs on to boxes that electronics come in?  I tend to hang on to them for a while in case I have to send them back.  I do eventually throw them away--just wondered if I was the only one that holds them for a while.
