Quilting, Fall, and allergies!

This wet fall weather is not helping my allergies!  I have year round allergies to a lot of things, like pollen, mold, grasses, weeds – you name it outside and it bothers my allergies.  I wish it would dry out already!  Rain yesterday when I drove to Little Rock for my doctor appointment.  Nice today – but more rain coming for the next two days – give us a break already.  My nose is runny and my eyes are itching – I will be glad to get over this little allergy spell.

I had a good visit with my daughter after my doctor appointment was over.  It turned out it was her day off so we got to spend some time together. I can’t really say we did all that much other than having lunch.  Neither of us are that much on shopping just to shop.  We did go to a kitchen store so I could look for a few items for my kitchen and I found a few small things.  We did spend a little time at Barnes & Noble just talking over a coffee and shared cheesecake yum

I have to start physical therapy this week for my neck pain.  Turned out I twisted the muscles somewhat while I was painting that ceiling!  My appointment with my rheumatologist was just a routine check but as soon as I mentioned pain in my neck he was feeling those muscles and having me turn my head this way and that and before you know it I was having a full series of x-rays for neck and  leaving with an order for Physical Therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks and a muscle relaxer for 10 days!  Glad to know that everything else was ok though!  First session of PT is tomorrow afternoon.

Don’t forget to stop by Jackie’s blog “Canton Village Quilt Works” for her give away.  She really has some nice items to give she is being so generous – I would want to keep it all for myself

I got a little more quilted last night on “Insanity”

One more pieced triangle to go - 1 corner - and one more plain !

I took a walk today at the lake – it was so nice after all the rainy weather we have had.  I brought my camera along and got a couple fall photos.

Maples

birds on the lake - fall trees in background - I know what these birds are but the name escapes me at the moment

these are a type of cypress tree - I'm not sure how many varieties there are. These are small ones as you can see, the water is very close to them so I'm sure they get plenty of water. In the fall here the leaves are kind of brown

more fall color - you can see where this tree lost one of it's branches earlier in the year in one of the many storms we had.

Well I better get back to work on “Insanity” it is almost done!!
