Sunday

Would you believe we woke up to snow this morning?! And it's still coming down! We're just shaking our heads and laughing.

I planted my tomatoes outside just yesterday -- they're covered with plastic, so I hope they're going to be OK. More of this year's really extreme weather I'm afraid ... snow in late May is NOT NORMAL for here!!

***************
Our two working guys, Grady and John, spent the whole week sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding -- what tedious work! We're beginning to look like a Haunted House. They might start the primer coat on Monday or Tuesday, depending on the weather (!!!snow!!!) I want to see red paint, but probably not for another week.

I've been playing with the set of patriotic blocks. I made a few more and assembled them with alternating hourglass blocks. I hope to get the outer row (which finishes the tan squares) on the other three sides this evening. Then I'm thinking a navy border ...

GRATITUDES
1. New jeans -- smaller size -- woohoo!
2. The aroma of coffee brewing
3. A quiet weekend after a noisy dusty week
