A Light Coat
We had a light coat and I don’t mean my coat hanging by the back door.
There is a dusting of snow on the roof tops. Our concrete around the house and drive is bare. If the sun could have remained shinning through the clouds, the 35 degrees of this afternoon could have, would have and should have felt warm.
Dennis continues to stay busy in the garages. The far back garage is storage for his friend Dewayne’s Farmall tractor plus bucket, son-in-law’s Ford Mustang, grandson AJ’s Harley, our two lawnmowers plus the Cub tractor. The Cub is going to the Beckius repair shop north of town in the spring. Dennis has an agreement with Charlie for the engine repair. Charlie is kept busy in the winter season with seasonal repairs and the last of the farm equipment that comes in.
Today, Dennis pulled all the batteries off of the above mentioned items, but not the Sears mower. Dennis will be mulching leaves before too long. This last dip of temps in the 20s gave the leaves a good chance to flutter and man did they!
The studio and I have been humming right along. I have completed 32 of the 8.5″ blocks. The most complex block was 16 in number, made up of eight pieces in various colors and sizes. As I tidied up a bit of snippets, I realized I only need to cut 32 of 3.5″ of various colors. Moving right along at a very causal pace. I do iron seams as I finish them. I did smile to myself, as my sister Elvera didn’t practice that in the art of her piecing . . . left to wonder why the end result was not up to par. Bless her heart.
Mid afternoon and the studio is being close down in exchange for some reading and catching a YouTube or two.
Happy new week everyone. Each day we have two choices: smile and have a cheerful heart or grump and make everyone around us turn grumpy as well.
With that I take my leave. ♥
