Gray Skies

Those gray skies might bring us some rain later on.

Interesting things in the neighborhood that catch my eye.  A small rental house across the street from is usually rented to Hispanics.  I never see any type of furniture moved in or moved out.  Lots of mattresses.  During the late night hours of yesterday, the moving out went on.  Whenever the owners go in and tidy up from what was left, making ready for new occupants, I have walked over to bid Blanca and her husband.  Very nice owners giving housing to those that need it and I have asked . . . $400.00 a month.  Multiple workers at Swift Food Processing, $400.00 should be attainable.  I do take notice of the expensive large SUVs they drive, perhaps vacating a home much easier.  So be it.

My index finger on my right hand is in a resting spot this afternoon.  That is the finger I need to use to close all of the red headed pins on the quilt.  A two hour stint got the job done.  Now will come the tidy, tidy around the sewing machine.  As the quilt was pinned, I rolled it to close the pins on the next row of the quilt.  The quilt is now a tubelike challenge.

The sewing table needs to be located in anticipation of working the tube-like to my advantage.  My ironing board is height adjustable to match the sewing table’s height.  The card table is also the correct height.  The church tables have had bricks put under the legs to ease the back when bending over to cut fabric or working on a project.  They are quite a bit higher than my plan but will still be able to have a portion of the quilt on it take away some of the heft as things move along.

All of the items mentioned need to have nothing on them or around them.  It saves the angst of picking items off of the floor.

I am not sure about supper.  Dennis has said maybe two to three words to me all day.  It’s been movement from the house to the patio porch to the house playing on his computer and then back outside.  Who knows.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
