What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. To quote Paul Simon, "something tells me it's all happening at the zoo." For sure everything that happened yesterday happened there. We had a beautiful day for it. I purchased tickets for timed entry the day before, and we were supposed to enter the zoo at 1:00 p.m. I wish I'd thought of it before I decided on that time because I realized later the baby elephant would only be open for viewing between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Not knowing what we'd encounter on our arrival ...

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Valentine's Day! We're not doing anything to celebrate today, but we have dinner reservations for Sunday. I'm just hoping we can get to our downtown restaurant choice. 

It was a miserable day of weather yesterday. Smitty could scarcely believe his eyes.

By noon yesterday, we had about three inches of accumulation.

The freezing rain didn't start until last night. There was just a little more snow accumulation. This is how it looked this morning.

But remember that view from my window yesterday ...

Good morning, my friends. It's the start of a brand new week. There's plenty on my to-do list today, after taking an NBS day yesterday. I still think there will be plenty of time for sewing. So let's see...what's going on?

Well, Smitty is taking to his new geriatric kitty pole. It has taken him a while to warm up to it. We thought it might be just too chilly next to the window. With snow on the ground, it's a better place to keep an eye on his domain than to be outside ...

Good morning, my friends. It snowed off and on for most of the day yesterday. It was warm enough that it also melted as it was accumulating. There was still some accumulation, though. This is the view from my window this morning.

Good morning, my friends. Do you ever have a day where you just relish lying around and doing nothing? My Saturday was like that. There were plenty of things I could have done, but I spent most of my day sitting or else lying on the couch. I blame cats. They're at their best when people are sitting around or lying around. There are plenty of nooks and crannies in human laps that allow for excellent kitty warming spots.

A few things were accomplished. I turned the fourth corner on the Domestic Affairs quilt.

Good morning, my friends. It's still mostly dark out as I'm writing this morning. I read yesterday that we would be getting our first 5:00 p.m. sunset within the next few days. That will be an improvement over the 4:00-hour sunsets we've been getting. The days are getting longer, but it's still dark in the morning. I can see some brightness in the sky, however, and so I'm optimistic for some sunshine today.

We did our grocery shopping yesterday. We were into the low 40's on our return home. The sun ...

Good morning, my friends. We have a pretty view of Mt. St. Helens this morning. We've been having some very nice weather, and we're expecting it to continue into next week. After last week's deluge, it's nice to see some blue sky and sunshine. And with what's happening in California right now, I'm not complaining about the rain...just acknowledging it. There are worse things than rainy days.

Good morning, my friends. It's another day when I'm writing fast. We're going to try to get our grocery shopping for the week done this morning. As I believe I mentioned yesterday, we're having a couple of our neighbors up for dinner on New Year's Day, and I need to get some things for that. (I should actually say, "our neighbors, who are a couple," not the whole neighborhood.) And, of course, as long as we're going, I have next week's menu planned and on the shopping list too. It always ends up ...

Good morning, my friends. Hopefully, everyone has recovered from Christmas festivities. We had a lovely holiday here, and I hope you did too. Today begins one of my favorite linky parties of the year. My thanks go to Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs for hosting this party for the past ten years. Thanks, Cheryl!
