Thoughtful Tuesday

A lovely example of mixing tan background fabric.  Picture taken during my travels.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

What happens when it rains too much?

Besides weeds in your garden, you get mold on your wooden spoons.  I'm telling you, this is a serious situation.  I use all of my wooden spoons, at different times of course.  Green is not the color of choice here.  I like tan and brown and gold.  Definitely not green.

So instead of sewing on Sunday, you guessed it, I was cleaning.  The pink 9-patch will have to wait a few more days to be assembled.

The moral of this story . . . check your spoons, and your cutting boards, and your wood furniture. If you'd had excessive rain, the green monster is lurking where you'd least expect it no matter how many fans you've got turning.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Juxtaposition . . . .

I like pictures that tell a story.

On the one hand, this family is ready to celebrate Flag Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July.

As well as the first warming fire of winter.

There's a lesson here I'm thinkin'.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

I weeded the pumpkin patch yesterday and discovered why nothing is growing.

Weeds!

Imagine that.

I guess the award for Master Gardner won't be coming my way this year.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Well it's raining, but that's to be expected.

I mean after all this is the summer of "rain."  Which I admit has kept things cooled off a bit better this year.  If you're out there in it, please drive carefully.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
