A Sunny Day

You conduct hold no sentiment how happy nosotros are to come across the sun. It has been a long moisture spring...one of the wettest on record. When nosotros left to caput S dorsum inwards early on May , nosotros hoped the moisture weather condition would live over yesteryear the fourth dimension nosotros returned. Since we've been dorsum , it has rained nearly every day. Mike was solely able to complete mowing the champaign yesterday.

It was a perfect twenty-four hr menstruum to showtime our regular Mon walks. Matthew has asked to come upward along every bit much every bit he's available , together with nosotros were happy to conduct hold him. We walked simply a niggling means on the Fanno Creek Trail earlier nosotros came to a picnic surface area alongside a large tree. I spied a house to sow my pump into the wild , leaving it inwards amidst the branches. When nosotros came dorsum this means , at that topographic point was a job solid unit of measurement using the picnic surface area , but the pump was all the same where I left it.

That's 2 for 2 , together with thence I'll demand to brand roughly to a greater extent than today. 

I would live remiss if I didn't warn yous of the dangers facing us on the trail this day.

Almost instantly , nosotros were confronted yesteryear surely together with surely death.

Our hero , Matthew , forded the flow ahead of us. After watching him , nosotros both felt brave plenty to endeavor it on our own. Life vests mightiness conduct hold been inwards order.

There were plenty of blooming things to come across along the way.

Included inwards the mix were these wild roses.

Just a niggling ways farther , at that topographic point were rose hips.

 These were tiny , all growing inwards a large patch.

The Oregon blackberries are blooming , together with the bees are all over them.

 I spied this side yesteryear side ane inwards the parking lot when nosotros returned to our cars.

Sue together with I would usually walk twice every bit far on this trail , but nosotros walked simply to the duck pond. Remember the ducklings nosotros saw this yesteryear spring?

They're non niggling whatever more. It looks similar quite a few survived.

On the other side of the path , the pond was filled alongside niggling minnows. We frequently come across a Great Blue Heron hither , but non on this day.

And on such a sunny twenty-four hr menstruum , how could our shadow selves non brand it on the act?

When nosotros got dwelling from our walk , I had simply plenty fourth dimension to accept a shower earlier heading off to the vet alongside Sadie. Sadie got her immunizations together with a build clean nib of health. The final fourth dimension she visited the vet was presently afterward her "Gotcha" Day. When nosotros adopted her she weighed 10.9 pounds. At our see yesterday , she weighed 11.2 pounds , thence she's maintained her weight well.

It was afterward 3:00 p.m. when I got dwelling , together with it seemed a niggling likewise belatedly inwards the twenty-four hr menstruum to showtime whatever sewing. Instead , I finished the final of the stitching on Block xi for the Hocuspocusville quilt.

The side yesteryear side fourth dimension I operate on this , I'll live doing the final block:

With that ane finished , it was fourth dimension to brand upward Block six for the Wine Country quilt. This is ane of my favorites for this quilt.

This morn , I got started on the stitching

spell the kitties soaked upward the morn sun.

Today is a CSA pick-up twenty-four hr menstruum , but the morn is reserved for sewing. There are all the same the Mon Mini blocks to grab upward on...three of those...and thence I'm 2 weeks behind on the Quilt-Along happening at The Inbox Jaunt. If I tin complete all of that , I'll teach dorsum to operate on the scrub jay quilt. All that's left at nowadays is to brand the "tick marks" on the pattern. Those are used to check upward the seams when I showtime sewing it together. When those are inwards house , I'll live produce to showtime auditioning fabrics.
