I had meant to write you a cheery semi-inspirational post today…one that began with my first chore… Applesauce from windfall apples (thanks to Susan.). I went off about 9:50 this morning to get a haircut, fearing it might be the last for awhile as the virus closes in again. Then I got a text from […]

Mood Elevation Needed
One week until the election…anxiety is high…only one thing to do…yep…car wash time. We inadvertently paid for more than the express wash (hard to speak distinctly through a mask ) BUT…we got the colored soap!!!
A Fall Day
Just about perfect when the sun came out in time for a bike ride, lunch outside, a little work on an old quilt remnant, a remarkable spread for a backyard neighborhood gathering (thanks Tim, Jodi, Tory) some contemplation… Keep in touch…
The Fate of Quilts
The fate of many quilts is not unlike the two I received from a friend…she thought they were too far gone but that maybe I would want to do something with them. She was right, they are pretty far gone…at least for the work I do and the time I have to do it in. […]

Enough is Enough…

And So Ends Week 15
Oh my. Remember the “Friday feeling” (relief), the “Sunday feeling” (dread/anticipation), the “Wednesday feeling” (half-way)? Now that we’re in a different realm entirely, the landscape is only populated with random events, delights, dreads in no sequential order. Maybe the senses are more alive? Though I think I’ve always enjoyed my life as it flows around […]
Maggie and Milly and Molly and May
Somebody left a poem in our beach book in early July of 1999. As I often do, I was reading back in the volumes to see what we were doing this same week in other years. This poem struck me as a summing up of beach time for us… maggie and milly and molly and […]
