Finished at last!!! After a few mishaps this block is finally finished. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get it done. Sewing by machine is so much faster, but you can't take it with you. Teehee!!! Not sure if I like all of the colors that I chose for this block. Don't get me wrong.....I like each color and think that they go well with each other. I just think that they would have gone better together in a different block. Now off to the baktik one we go!

Trying to get caught up....

.....on the yard work, housework, and anything else that needs to get done around here. Got three of my flowerbeds cleaned out yesterday and did some dishes in the mean time. The top flowerbed has two different varieties of Spiderwort in it. I found some purple clover on the far side of our property. You know.....the kind that if you are lucky you just might find a four leaved one. I'll get out tomorrow and transplant some of it in the top bed with the Spiderwort, plus start cleaning out the other three beds and around the various bushes in the yard.

I have a good start of a Lilac bush that my DB helped me dig up from his place. We tried to get on of a Forsythia bush, but was unable to get a good root system from the mother bush. Someone had planted theirs in a tire and there was no way to get it. I'll let this one stay for the summer and see if what it looks like this fall. It may be toast for all I know. We'll see.....

Right now, I am just waiting on the laundry to get done so that I can get ready for another day at the deli. It's kind of nice not having to be at work until later in the day. A person is able to get things done outside that they would normally have to wait until their day off.....and to think that I used to hate this shift because you couldn't go and hang out with your friends. Oh the peace and quiet of living in the country. We have neighbors who live right around us, but it isn't as noisy as it would be if you lived in town.

Guess I'd better get in there and fold the towels. My honey is bringing home a nice juicy hamburger loaded with jalepenos from Sonic. Don't you just love it when people talk about food and make you hungrier than you already are????

Way Behind

Just wanted to say hi to all of you who stop here at one time or another.....It's been a little hectic around here with relatives being in and out of the hospital and the work hours. Speaking of work....this going to be short and sweet. Gotta go and put in a few hours tonight. hahahaha

Dad is in rehab. Sad to say, but he won't be able to go back to his house. He would have to have full time care. He can't walk even with a walker. He is too weak.

Pops, my SO's step-dad just had outpatient surgery and is recovering from that. Hopefully, he will get to retire like he was planning on doing after he is released by the doctor's.

I'm off tomorrow and it will be a partial day of working in the garden at Ray's folks house. The garden spot has been plowed twice by one of the neighbors and all it needs is some work to get the nasty bermuda grass out of it. That kind of grass is something that you don't want in your flowerbeds nor your garden. It likes to try and take over.

Have to work this weekend and then I'll be off Monday. Time to do some work around here. The shed needs rearranged....again. The yard needs mowed and the leaves removed from the flowerbeds.

I stuffed my little baggie filled with thread and the forever BP block that I am working on in my work bag. LOL!!! One of these days I'll manage to get it finished. HA! Might even get to work on it tonight when it's lunch time. Gotta have something to do for and hour. :~)

I'll post some pics of different things that I made last year and some pics of the scenery around here when I get a chance. It helps that I can plug the camera into my laptop. Yay!!!!

You guys take care and may you have a wonderful year!!!!
