What would you name this picture...
We were at Lowe's over the weekend and my daughter pointed out this sight to me. Maybe Duck, Duck Goose security?

440 Little blocks
I wonder if I will ever reach the 600 number. That was the original goal, but now I am thinking I might go with fewer. I am not even sure what size quilt 600 would make.

I took Roger to have labs today. They had been predicting rain to start this morning so I was dreading it all weekend. I worried for nothing. It still has not rained, though it looks like it might at some point before the night is over.
I fixed burgers on the grill and Roger wanted a smoked sausage. The burgers were delicious. If I will leave them alone, I can have a couple tomorrow. Burgers off the grill are one of my favorite meals.
It is the end of a tiring day for me...I do not have much to say.

Latest puzzle
I opened this puzzle today. With the off chance that my daughter might want to work on it, I now at least hunt out the edge pieces, and if she does start to work it, I will put them together. I still prefer to work sections and get them in place before I put the edge together because they are easier to slide around. But I am flexible and will gladly work one either way. The one thing I have often wondered is could a person ever work a jigsaw puzzle while only looking at the backside of the pieces. She does even want to try. I would not mind trying on a 500 piece puzzle...but it may never happen.

At least one of the little squirrels keeps coming out back...maybe to get water from the drain...so my daughter put out a bowl of water. If Copper sees it he is wild to get out to it so we really have to watch when we go to let him outside.

I did watch the Kentucky Derby. And I probably always will if I remember...I had forgotten today till my daughter reminded me. But used to, the couple hours before the race was spent telling about individual horses and their owners. The horse's personality, how he was acquired, maybe who his sire was, etc. The past 4 or 5 years at the least, has slowly gotten till I don't even care if I see or not. It is all about the stars who are there, and who is wearing what, etc. And I just don't care who is there, I don't want to see them. I want to see the horse, and the owners and the riders...they tell a little bit now, but nothing like they used to.
And I am apt to walk away and do something else...and miss what little they do tell.
I would have loved to meet Secretariat and SeaBiscuit because of their personalities...
