Monday

 

                        I know they all look alike but every morning brings another gift.  Beautiful. 

They just keep coming...That is beautiful morning skies.  I know there is a warning that goes with red sails.  The afternoon started with rain.  That's OK by me.  It's too cold to be outside anyways.  Morning crossword was successful and Wordle came in the afternoon with three tries and never a wrong letter in any of those tries.  Woo...pretty good for me with having a little luck thrown in. 

                                   Eye Candy  Baby quilts beginning their adventure to completion.  

oday was a day of sewing patches.  Loving every minute of it but the account of the day was just sewing patches so it's a bit short on other activities.  That is unless you count a little time in the gardening books.  The crocus are up, the daffodils are peaking through and the squirrel was nowhere to be seen.  That goes for the birds as well.  I guess they don't like to be out when there is little sun to show for the day. I think they have that right.  Count me out as well. 






We had another pot pie for supper.  A great way to redo some leftovers.  I think I'll rest on this idea for a while and go back to some delicious soup.  

        On a rainy day, who cares what is happening outside when all these colors are toys for play. I love these squares offering so many shapes for the choosing. Some of the tools of the trade in my playroom. They make me happy and keep me busy. . 

Tonight is more football.  I think this weekend was one of the best in play for a long time.  Fun games with stuff happening or about to happen.  I did a little pacing.  

And this is the way the day ended.  The game...I give it about a 4 rating.  Not so interesting this time around.

    Are you making these colorful baby quilts for anyone special? I like the picture of the now deceased monk on your table. I think you met him at the Jam Pot, right? I'll bet discussions were interesting back then.
    My Colorado family came to town for three days and nights week before last, when your Michigan family was in town, too. I have been scolded good and proper by them....our next visit will be me visiting them in Denver. After flying to Mexico and back, Denver sounds like a breeze. Loved my month with Shannon, Chester and the two dogs in San Juanico (Baja Mexico). If you want to see succulents in full growth and bloom mode,,, that's the place to be. I took many pictures.
    Homecoming was bitter sweet as the morning after I arrived the grinder pump alarm went off and I had to install a new pump to the tune of $5,400.00! The pump was 14 years old and worked well until that December morning. Luckily, Jim Gravelie was available to do the job that same day.
    Happy New Year, Neighbors! SJ

Monday

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...

3 plus 1 = Jared...Dee.

 This morning...nothing different.  Cards and Pancakes with no rain and none promised.  That could change but so what.  A little rain never has stopped us from doing.   The first big bottle of syrup and the first bag of pancake mix is gone but there is more stashed away.  We never run out of breakfast fixings.  The second book is well on the way. I think it's the same for Doug.  I spent the afternoon with Natasha sitting on the deck and visiting with her mother Dorthy.  She is a great storyteller.  Natasha's dad is our potter friend Dennis.  Natasha is also a potter among many other things.  This is a picture of the shop.  A large deck behind the deck is a sweet place to visit and make new friends.   Today our church friends Jeanie and Neal arrived.  They will be here for 3 nights.  We'll do a little visiting later around the Jared Russell campfire giving them some ideas of what they might like to ...
