We had a good two days on Texada – I think we both needed a change of scenery. I managed to get two of the three quilts I took over sandwiched. It was my choice not to do the third one. I finished the book I was reading, started and then finished another one. I also started on lesson two of a new needlework technique I’ve been attempting to learn.

It is such a beautiful day out today. I went out to purchase a gift card for an upcoming birthday and wearing a sweater was almost too much. The bees be damned, I’m going to get out in the yard if we have more of these nice days. The irises are coming up, the daisies are greening up at the bottom and the weeds (I know) are just waiting for the top layer of fallen leaves to come off before they start to pop. I brought my rubber boots back from Texada so I’m ready.

If it hadn’t been so much work to find the cushions I’d have stayed outside on the deck for awhile after I got home.

I had a lovely surprise arrive in the mail today from Kathryn. She had seen a comment I made about a mini-iron on Facebook and send me one. I’ll do a bit of rearranging of my piecing area but I know I’ll get a lot of use from it.

I’m lucky that we are healthy and that we have somewhere equally enjoyable to escape to when we feel the need.
