Full of blooms...


 I hope you don't mind another flower shot...you will probably be getting several along if I continue to try to blog some every week.  This is my daughter's viburnum.  It is in full bloom and full smell.  I feel like I can even smell it in the back yard.

We had wonderful warm weather yesterday and today.  Sitting outside weather.  Copper sunning himself weather.  I even got to sit out back and read a little.  Simple pleasures.

I took my camera out front today to try to capture some of the dogwood blooms.  I have not downloaded the pics.  The thing about being out there was there was a squirrel!  And it was almost friendly.  IF I had just had something with me, I may have had a new friend.  But by the time I came and got something, it was gone.  I can always hope.  It is not the one we see outback...the one outback is much bigger than it was.

I have my little 'quilt' almost quilted, but have not made the binding...so even if it was quilted there is still that to do.

Sunshine and shadows...


I wish I were able to get down on my knees, but I cannot so I do the best I can.  I was out looking to see if the hibiscus is showing life, which it is, but also snagged a couple photos of these tulips...well this one...the others did not turn out.  I do like this...but wish the center were not quite so dark.

I have not done much this day except go to Mcds for Roger's standard breakfast, fixed my own breakfast when I got home, and I did a few dishes.  

Oh, and I made  up meds.  Roger takes so many that I use these little portion cups that have lids and make them up for at least 16 days at a time.  Sometimes 18 days.  The only bad thing doing this, which has not really happened would be if he were to have to discontinue one.  I would have to go and figure out what it looks like before I could take it out.  I would recognize some of them, but not all.  

I have not touched sewing...maybe some will happen this weekend...

Still on the nest


One of these days when the weather is not misting rain, I will take my good and try to get a close up pic of her.  

It is a rainy week for us.  I think it has stopped a few times, today but there are big, big puddles of water collected anywhere there is room for one.  

I ran to Walmart this morning between rains, and this little creek that usually has just enough water in it to be flowing was raging.   The road had places where I would have hated to have been an hour before.  Water covered most of the road in a few places.  Luckily no one was behind me and no one right there so I could scoot over into the oncoming lane and miss them with one wheel.

***********

I did get my little quilt 'runner' top finished last night and I got it pin basted to quilt today.  Maybe tomorrow I will get some quilting time.  I honestly thought about hand quilting, but I want it done sooner than later.  Hopefully I will get it done.
