The sun was shining and, for just a brief moment, I thought about getting out in the yard and doing some work. Not much, but cutting back some of the gladioli stems and taking out a few weeds. Moreen (who is a gardener for hire) showed me her tool for weeding. She whacked a few out of the driveway and I’m thinking I’ll get one of them for myself.

I had to open and close the Hall today. Moreen and I headed to the Hall for the opening and then went on a hike. We went up Valentine Mountain but beyond the top, where I thought the trail ended, she found a path that took us to the opposite side. It was more of a challenge than the Sea Walk was but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I finished the top of my Farmer’s Wife Sampler quilt after I got home. I thought I might have had it done last night but I was getting confused and ripping out seams; I knew that was a sign I should quit. It still needs to be trimmed but I’ll be able to get the photo I need for my quilt show application. Next up is more hand stitching on my Farmer’s Daughter.

After returning to the Hall to close up for the day I stopped and did a bit of grocery shopping; I’m not sure when Pat is coming back from the studio but I like to have at least something in the fridge for his first day.
