The Puss Puss

I was sitting out back yesterday and had had one chair pulled up in front of me to put my feet up.  When that didn't feel good, I did not immediately put the chair back in place.  Puss got up there and proceded to turn half on her back and half hang her head back over the edge to look at me....couldn't resist a face like this.  Notice her little tongue is half out.

Some happenings of this day:
 1.  We saved a hummingbird's life today...how you ask?  We were out there watching one and also thought to keep an eye on the girl above.  She spotted it and was headed for it but we managed to get her in the house.  This is the 3rd bird within a week.  The first was a baby robin, the second a baby sparrow, which I took from her...and I have no doubt she would have nabbed the hummingbird if we had not been there. 

2..  I cut more quilt pieces first thing this  morn.  Just a few, but if I do some every day, I will soon have enough cut.

3. I made a call our TV provider...had to make a 3rd call before I got a reduction in our price.  I really was ready to cancel.  I think we watch more Netflix and YouTube than we do TV.   Anyway, spend over an hour doing that.  The first call I made I was on the phone forever with the lady I was talking to.

4.  I had hung out a load of clothes, and didn't really look at my shoes when I came in.  I tracked grass all in the kitchen...so had that mess to clean.

5.  I did iron a few shirts...am I the only one that irons things?  I don't all the time...but I do sometimes when I have hung certain shirts outside.  I don't hate to iron, but is sure not my favorite thing to do.  Unless it is fabric/quilt stuff.

I'll leave you with a song...

Sweet and spicy

This Asiatic lily has this sweet, spicy smell...so strong it almost makes Roger sick to smell it.

I only have this one in this color...I think it had 15 blossoms on it.

Lorelei had a dental appointment yesterday afternoon and Sarah said she talked up a storm with the dentist!  Jeremy took her by to see Sarah at work afterwards and she walked over to one of her co-workers and talked her ears off.

First thing this morn, well, after I got dressed, I did go down and get some more quilt pieces cut.  Still several to go.  But was a good thing I did it before the day started.  I had no  energy left at the end of the day.

We had another box collection going in the garage...I got busy this morn and got them all broke down and stuffed within a big box.

I always start out just intending to save a few to have for mailing items.  Then I end up keeping them all instead of breaking them down as they come in.  I told Roger we will probably need one before the week is out to mail something.

We got our little yard mowed--and then late this evening I got one of my flowerbeds weeded..I am so glad none of you could see it.  It was a mess...I don't know why I delayed doing it.

All in all, was a wonderful day...always feel good when I get something done.

Say aaahhhh!

Just could not resist this...this was Puss Puss and her brother, who is not longer with us.  When we just had the two of them, they always slept wrapped around each other.  I have never seen two kitties more loving with each other.

Tootie went home today...she wanted us to go home with her so bad.  There were tears.  She just did not want to let us go.  But we have things we need to do.  Should have came home and mowed the yard, but will do that tomorrow.  I had left clothes on the line.  So had to get home and get them in.

As I was listening to the washer this morn before I got distracted, I wondered do you other women find the sound of the washing machine kind of comforting?  It just dawned on me that I really do.  It is just a sound of home.  If I close my eyes, I can even feel like I am back home in Tennessee.

With her being here my Lotus quilt project has been put on the back burner.  It was initially paused because my daughter and I were both searching for more batiks in the colors she likes.  Then by the time we found enough, Lo was here.  It is something I need to pay attention to when doing the cutting so did not want to start while she was here.

So this evening, I thought I would see if I could start.  And I did cut a few pieces cut, but not without thinking I had lost my mind first.  There are some batiks designated to go with dark triangles, and then there were others I had decided were to go with the light triangles...I could not remember which fabrics I had done used and had to check the ones I had done made.  Then I happened to think just where I had put the new batiks!  One of those light bulb moments.  So hopefully I will have a bit of time to work on them tomorrow.  Once I get them cut, it won't take too long to get them sewn together.
