What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. For as many times as we've been to Death Valley, I didn't think there were any more surprises there for us. Yesterday, we visited Dublin Gulch, which isn't technically inside Death Valley. Instead, it's in the tiny town of Shoshone, California just to the south of the park. What an interesting place! As usual, I took too many pictures. I'll tell you what I know about it, but if you're interested, you can read more about it and see more pictures right here.

Good morning, my friends. The weather is still chilly here in Pahrump, but things are looking up. Each day grows warmer in the coming week. We were treated to a pretty sunset yesterday evening. Of course, the sun sets in the west, but to the east, it lights up the hills behind us.

The kitties are still optimistic they'll get the morning sunshine on their window hammocks one of these days. They spent their morning like this:

Good morning, my friends. The wind blew hard the night before, but it was a calm day for most of the day. The sun was shining, but it was too cold to be out without bundling up first. We had a couple of errands to run, but I had some time to spend on my slow-stitching in the morning.

Good morning, my friends. I made good on my threat to check out the new quilt shop in Pahrump yesterday. I'll tell you about that in a minute. The quilt shop didn't open until noon, and that gave me some time to take the first stitches on Block 5 of the Snowmen & Reindeer project.

Good morning, my friends. It was a blustery and rainy day yesterday. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I was determined to break my lazy streak by getting out for a walk. Mike accompanied me along my way. The sun was shining as we walked away from the RV, but there were some clouds in the sky. We walked up and down, taking in whatever there was to see. Before we walked away from our site, I turned to capture a shot of this snow-covered peak. This is Charleston Peak...the highest peak in the Spring Mountain Range.

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Valentine's Day! We have plans for dinner out tomorrow to celebrate. For now, let's just talk about this new location and yesterday's drive, shall we?

There, he has a luxurious dust bath, and then sniffed around this orange tree. He sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed. Obviously, some other critter has left its scent here.

Good morning, my friends. Ordinarily, we avoid Las Vegas like the plague, but we wanted to see the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden. It's free to the public (except for parking, which was steep at $20 for the day). Erik and Mae are fans of botanical gardens, in general, and they've kind of hooked us on seeing gardens when we can. Erik tells me this one changes frequently. When he saw it last time, it was decorated to honor the Grateful Dead. (That must have been interesting.)

Okay, so we girded up our loins for a drive into Sin ...

Good morning, my friends. We had a good day yesterday...a short, but breathtaking hike, and then plenty of rest and relaxation later in the day. Before we left the RV, I noticed Smitty has a red scratch on his nose. He likes to bully Sadie sometimes, and sometimes she has to put him in his place.

Good morning, my friends. For as many times as we've visited Hoover Dam and the Memorial Bridge, it still leaves us awestruck every dam time. I'm going to post pictures from yesterday's visit, but I would also encourage you to visit two posts from previous visits. Since I'd taken pictures of some of the things we saw on yesterday's visit and posted them previously, I skipped over those things during yesterday's visit. (I have a bad habit of taking way too many pictures.)

Good morning, my friends. We had a slow day yesterday. Our only plan was to go have lunch in Boulder City, and then get some fudge to enjoy with our afternoon cup of espresso. Before leaving, I spent some time on my embroidery, filling my hoop.

We waited for the noon crowd to clear out, and then headed over to the Boulder Dam Brewing Co. We try to have at least one meal here each time we're in Boulder City. I inadvertantly caught a selfie when ...
