I did finish block 13 of row 10 for “Insanity Revisited” but I forgot to take a photo of it before attaching to the others in the row. I will take a photo when I get this row attached to the other 9. It is coming along nicely. I still have not received my batting, I sent an e mail to find out when I would get it and they had run out of the twin size also and was expecting it in any day and would ship it out to me as soon as they got it. Must be a lot of quilting going on for two places to be out of that size. At this rate it will be another week before I get it. Oh well, I have the instructions printed out for the Star Crazy March blocks so I guess I will work on those soon.
It got up to 61 degrees outside today. Went to the park to take a walk out in the sunshine. The park workers were doing a controlled burn in parts of the park and the area I was walking in I thought was going to be ok and it was for the most part but the very last part I had to go through smoke and now my allergies are driving me crazy! Smoke just really tends to get in my eyes and sinuses and takes awhile to clear out.
Lake Dardanelle with Mt. Nebo in the distance across the lake. On the top of Mt. Nebo is a state park - a very pretty park.
part of the nice scenery at the park today - what a sunny day
the final part of the walk today where I had to walk through the smoke! I really thought all the burning was at the far end of the park where I wasn't going to be walking. The smoke made it a bit hazy at the park but the sun still felt good.
before I left the house this squirrel was getting seed under the bird feeder. I usually just see gray squirrels so seeing this reddish one was a treat - he sure was braver than the gray squirrels and didn't run while I was approaching to get his photo. The squirrels and birds have really ruined this one end of the flower bed this winter. I will need to do a bit of digging here and re-plant a bit. It is a shallow bed but I made the mistake years ago of putting a peat moss mixture in this bed. I say a mistake because it is like one gigantic root ball now and it hard as rock. It is very hard to dig it and I will most likely have to just about chop it up with a pick axe to get it so I can dig it up a bit. I have been planning on remaking this flower bed for sometime now but dread attacking it because of how hard the soil is and how compacted it is.
