The end of real summer…Labor Day coming up…and today was the day we’ll dream of come icey January…

But it started cloudy and R was thinking “hmmm…maybe I’ll paint the garage door”…

so he did…one more coat tomorrow

meanwhile I was in the studio with my trusty featherweight (it was my Mom’s)…

finishing a baby quilt and getting started on the last quilt for a while…the black quilt…

Come 3:30 though work must cease and we grab a coffee and hit the beach, greeted by the beach face…

R takes off…

and I sit sewing with my 16 oz. nonfat iced latte (my dumb ankle precluding my joining him…)

a brilliant day of days…
