Rainy Monday

 I just love it when an organizational plan/tool really works! Having this hexie To Go bag is working out great. I can grab the bag and go, on the deck, DD#1 home to babysit, hanging out with GF in the evening, or just sitting in the family room in my spare time.
 Everything in one bag. Hexie block kits, templates, finished blocks, needle, thread, scissors.
I layed out the blocks I have been working on last night to see if I had enough variety to begin adding and additional row. Yep, this should do it. On to adding the green sashing to each block then putting it all together.

Plans for today have changed as we had some VERY heavy rain yesterday afternoon. Unless the sun comes out to dry the main garden there will be no planting today. Hubby will stay busy in the garage doing his thing. I plan on some pantry/freezer work, quilting, watching Kara (nap for us both) then on to a menu plan for next weekend.

We are FINALLY getting a handle on all of the yard work. I was able to get the lawn mowed, lots more trees pruned, and a plan of action on some of the problem areas out back. Once hubby arrived safely back home from bike week we moved the grands outdoor equipment around some so hopefully mowing will be a bit easier for me. Karsyn called last night to come over to play and sleep with us,Ha We were able to get out of the sleepover by promising she could come over today to see where we put her playhouse. If it doesn't meet Karsyn's standards she will let us know in a skinny minute.

Hubby is just as baffled as I am that we let 2 year olds tell us what to do. Never ever would be have let our own children boss us around like the grands tend to do. Maybe it's like Bill Crosby says of his own parents when they became grandparents. "They are just old people trying to get to heaven" HAA

Heck no, we already are in heaven with these little guys.

Off to see what can be accomplished before the toddlers show up

  2. You are so amazing and I do not know how you have any spare time...your end table is just like a pair that were up at the auction last week when I was there...they went cheap too...and I thought, someone just got a real bargain!!

    1. Not much spare time but I hate sitting still!! Ha. The end tables are Carolina made around Hickory and cost more than I am will to share. They are 20 years old or older so they have held up really well

  3. I finally began weeding my flower beds again today; 2 small grids done. Bought Tomato plants and a couple Herbs, but the garden is not ready to be planted yet. We are to get t-storms tonight.
