the middle of May

Spent two hours weeding along the side of the house that is kind of on a slope and not really good for much of anything.  Dandelions sure seem to like it, however. I filled the wheelbarrow with weeds.  I also took the pink flowers my daughter, Sue, gave me and split them into threes for replanting underneath one of my trees.

Ran to Swains and bought $6 worth of pansies so I'll get them in a pot tomorrow. Probably keep it on the back deck. Brought out the umbrella for the deck table too. Sure was warm out there. Too warm to work up a sweat gardening so I'll begin a lot sooner in the morning. 

I also picked up an outdoor thermometer.  Suctions to the outside of the window so I can sit here at the computer and see the outside temps.  My Serenity House browsing rewarded me with a queen size flannel sheet ($3) so I'll use that for batting on my wall quilts when I don't want too much filler. Here's the one I made today. Even printed off a label to sew on the back. Called it 'Olympic Peninsula Seals'.

I really like this animal applique quilt book I have. The patterns are easy.   Tomorrow I think I'll start another. This wall hanging is supposed to be twice as large but I just wanted a smaller version so I cut it down.

My bathroom is decorated with all kinds of doodads. I have pigs, marbles, beach glass, and black and white cows (among other things).  It's really pathetic but I like having stuff to look at when I'm sittin' in there.  ha ha   Catie painted a picture frame for me and put in a cute cow picture. Told me Happy Udders Day!

I read that a local band is going to be on America's got Talent tonight. I guess I'll tape that along with Dancing so I can watch them tomorrow. Just finished watching a documentary from Independent Lens about nomads in Tibet. It was very good.

 

Well, I think I'll head over to YouTube and see if I can't find a good video to post. Okay...here's The King.... Love his rendition of this song.
