Day 49 of 2026

In general, today was a pretty productive day.

With regards photos and the blog, not so much.

I took some pictures I was really excited about early in the day 

that turned out unusable due to focus issues. 

These issues were absolutely user error. 

That lead me to give you a sock update instead. 

My electronics sometimes take longer

 than I think they should to talk to each other. 

The result is a Picture of the Day 

that has an incorrect date for a post title. 

So to be clear, this picture was taken on 

Wednesday, February 18, 2026.

 

Day 48 of 2026

Well, here's something I haven't done since 1969.

 

Day 47 of 2026

Back before I started this blog, 

I made this quilt for T-bone for his high school graduation. 

I only backed it with flannel because the top was also flannel. 

I did not tie or quilt it.

Through the years it has come apart. 

I guess that's what the actual quilting is for- to keep it together. 

I have washed it gently and hung it over several folding chairs to air dry. 

I'll put it in my queue so I can begin to do repairs and quilt it properly. 

Pictures will surely be posted as work progresses.

 

Day 46 of 2026

Sometimes I peek into the china cabinet

 to see what's happening there. 

Today I spied my snowman who lives inside. 

He seems to be happy that it's still winter. 

Personally, I will be glad when the temperatures

 are consistently warmer.

Fireball and I had the pleasure of watching GB#2 

perform with her show choir again today.

 

Day 44 of 2026

I'm steeping my evening tea in one of my Valentine mugs.

 

Day 43 of 2026

We have a new trash and recycling provider. 

Not only is the truck huge but it is so loud when it is compacting, 

which it did in front of my house 

before collecting the recycling from my bin. 

So far they have not thrown our bin to the ground on its side.
