Deciding what to eat next...

Another from the archives, but I don't think it has every been posted.  Taken out at the strip mining area near our old home.
******************
I feel like I have been worthless today.  Daughter and I did go shopping and one of those was a quilt shop.  I did buy a couple half yards of fabric...but more or less to support them.  We just wanted to be around fabric and see what they had.  They do have a long arm quilting machine to rent.  But even that is expensive.  So guess I will just keep on figuring out how to get things layered and basted.

I am sitting here with Kitty on my legs...she keeps me warm if I am cold.  She can hardly wait till I sit down at night.  

I did do a little quilting this afternoon...still have decisions to make.  And also I am thinking ahead to what next.  Plus, I would like to just sit and make something that I could make in an afternoon and have a quick finish.  As in zippered pouch or pot holders.

So many things call to me...and it is always my indecision that keeps me from getting things done.

Spotted on a country drive...


 I used to love seeing cats out at other places...and took photos when I could.  I loved seeing them in someone's window most of all.  It has been ages and ages since I have seen one in a window...


I have did very little this day.  Will be leaving in about half an hour to go see Lorelei/marching band run through their whole routine.  It should be fun to watch.  

This is a late night for me.  I am usually in my pjs before dark.  LOL  I just like to get comfortable.  Get my flipflops on.

It is still warm enough for me to wear flipflops all the time, but if I have to walk out in the yard, I am much better off having shoes on so I have started wearing them of the day again.  

I love flipflops--always have.  Even back when they were the cheapest thing you could buy...they were under a dollar when I was a kid.  We could not wait to get a pair.  And they were worn totally out by the time summer was over.  I just like my toes being free!  And they are so easy to slip on and off.

The color pink


 I forget what this hibiscus was called.  I only had it one year.  I had it and two more, and the following winter, it had subzero days and none of them survive.

*********                                                                                                                        I did some of the normal household chores...vacuuming, and dishes.  And of course going outside with Copper.  He really likes to have company when he is outside.

I did not read any outside today, but would have been a perfect day for it.  However, yesterday I had two reading sessions.  

I am heading upstairs here in a minute...I went up last night but did not sew.  I took a shirt apart.  I have quite the collection.  I want to make another quilt from them at some point.   I get them from Good Will, I only get 100% cotton, and get them when they are half price.  And mostly limited myself to Large size and above.  There is a lot of fabric in shirts.  

I guess I best publish this and get on upstairs if I am going to go....
