This was another of those weeks in which I had something after work every night. Ten hour work days with an activity after work makes for LONG days! But that's okay. My reward came Friday in the form of a visit from these cuties . . .
Yesterday was their mama's birthday, and I kept the through the day Friday and overnight. While these visits are generally about movies and popcorn, Friday was a lovely, sunny day and we did go exploring! Everyone found a different daffodil to sniff . . .
We took time to smell whatever this was that was flowering . . .
And we enjoyed the Obstacle Course (in our own manner) . . .
We even had a gourmet picnic lunch!
Teapot bologna and cheese hearts. It's all in the presentation, right?! :)
We did a final walk before dinner. The girls were happy to tromp around in the dusk. It was a lovely late afternoon and all three of the girls were captivated by the moon . . .
And then the sun really started setting and we trekked back in the near dark!
But these sweet girls just felt safe and confident in their surroundings and didn't bat an eye. That makes my heart so happy!
I did manage to do a little stitching ... well, darning ... this weekend. Evey's beloved blankie had a bit of an incident (which I won't go into) that left it looking like this . . .
That was right after it happened a week ago. I wish I'd taken a picture of it after a week's worth of 'loving'! LOL! You can imagine. I'm not an expert with yarn, nor an expert at darning, but I think this will hold it . . .
Bless her heart. I sent the pic to Joc, who showed it to Evey, who said, "Neesey is my hero!" Well then, good enough!! ♥
I did purchase some fabric . . . this lot from an estate sale:
And this lot from an LQS. The black on black for the binding of my pumpkin piece and the little floral piece just because I need another whole in my head! What?!? It's pretty. Reason enough.
We're taking Joc to lunch for her birthday after church today. Then my plan is to do a little binding work for my slow stitching this afternoon! With that in mind, linking up with Kathy's Quilts--be sure to check out what others have lined up for the day!
Have a great day and enjoy that extra hour of daylight (ha!) we'll receive at the end of the day, compliments of Daylight Savings Time!!
:)
