Birdie # 4 finished

And I am working on 5. Don't think I will have 5 and 6 finished by July 1. It is HOT in South Dakota. 102 deg. the last time I looked. AC is working overtime. Hope we don't have a power failure. Thursday is the day some of our friends meet for coffee at McD's and there were 2 bus loads of kids in there from TN. plus lots of tourists. Too many for their AC.

I went to the Mill End store in Sx. Falls yesterday and really love that store- only had a few minutes to pick up something I wanted. I need 1/2 day there. They have such a variety and good prices. Seems like everytime we get to SF we have Doctor appointments.

Hope you all are having a good day.

Look -See what the mailman brought!!!

See the pretties the mailman brought. Aren't they beautiful prints?? I won them in a give away at Marilyn's Maze. Thanks Marilyn. They will make something very pretty.

two more finished.

Finished 2 more of my birdie blocks. I think they are addicting. Went to the lake over the Fathers Day weekend so didn't get anything finished but enjoy our family. Boating and fishing plus lots of eating. Today is a beautiful day here- I have been weeding the flower beds.

Lots of heavy rain in the Dakotas with flooding. Some had up to 10 inches of rain in a short period of time. So many homes and farms are flooded. We are far enough away from the mighty Mo but it is wet here. Hope you all are doing okay and getting lots of quilting finished.

5 months behind

Finally finished the first block that should have been done by Feb. 1. Oh well maybe I'll catch up. I used CBQ's idea of using vintage sheet scraps. Thanks CBQ- ( I love visiting blogs. )

Beautiful day here but we have been getting lots of rain, wind and some hail but we feel fortunate because so many families are losing their homes because of flooding and fires.

Sorry my picture is fuzzy- guess I need to change batteries.

Flowering tree

Don't know what this tree is but it covered with flowers that kinda look like seet pea flowers. It blooms a couple times during the summer. If you click on it a larger window will open

Peonies

The wind was bad today and messed up my peonies so I took a picture before they are gone. They were really pretty earlier. We have sooo many mosquitos in the yard. Guess we will have to spray.

Hope you all had a good day.

Slow but sure +2 more

Finished 2 more blocks- am not moving very fast but doing other things. Yesterday I made 2 gallons of rhubarb slush- with vodka. Also been working in my garden. My peonies are opening so when they get a little further I will take a picture to show. With all the storms around it is scary. We have been very lucky. I like to be outside when its nice. I am going to put a quilt on the frame in the basement so when it gets really hot I can quilt. This morning I went to a bridal shower and this afternoon we had quilt guild. lots of show and tell.
