Lazy Day.

I just had a very lazy day today.  It was sunny, but a bit chilly so I chatted away the entire morning texting with a friend.

I ran a couple little errands, sending off the Valentine Day cards for Kristen and Dane.  I put a five dollar bill in each in honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday.  I wonder if they even know about Abe having his own birthday since it was rolled into Presidents' Day long before their time.

I did some sewing.  I have been inspired by Linda and by Rian and their table top projects.  I like a small project like this that is finished in an afternoon.  Well, it is not quite finished yet.  I still need to hand stitch the binding to the back.

    Lazy days are good, Olga. Thanks for the mention. You are probably a much better quilter than me. I'm a novice, but enjoying the process. My friend came over today and we worked on the doggie quilt. She even left her sewing machine for me to use (if I'm brave enough to go it alone). What are you going to do with your little quilt? Did you have a place in mind when you made it?

      I put it on my counter for a place to put the coffee pot.

    Very pretty! I'm curious too, how you will use it.

    I'm looking forward to the weekend, although there is some housework the curling will be on so I'll have lots of time to be lazy and just sit and knit.

    Enjoy the sun!

    Well, I'm glad to be a good influence! Your project looks great. I have been wasting a lot of time these days, getting up late and getting a very slow start. Then I run out of time at the end of the day. Oh well, It's my list, my agenda, and I guess I can change it if I want to.
    I actually worked outside in the yard for two hours today, since it was about 60 degrees. I got mosquito bites on the back of my neck. Grrr.

    I like small projects too. I love making pillows and purses.

    How sweet of you to send a card and money to your grandkids. I love your little project, too.

    How productive of you. I have been known to totally fritter away a chilly day. Nice work. Florida has some nippy days coming, stay warm and busy.

    Lazy days here are days when there is no snow to shovel. I love them. A bit nippy here too, 18 F out with a balmy breeze making it feel like 6 F. Going down to -2 tomorrow night. Happy Valentine's Day.

    We need those lazy days to restore ourselves. I always like to see what you're crafting.

    That's a very pretty table topper or something to put a bowl on. It must cheer up the room it's placed in. You are very neat in your sewing. I should get out my sewing machine and do something. Mending or whatever. I haven't done anything creative in a long time.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
