Day 269 of 2025

Fireball alerted me that it was really nice out today. 

That prompted me to go out to the deck, 

put up the umbrella, do my puzzles and have a snack. 

He wasn't wrong.

Day 183 of 2019

The day lilies, which are lovely this year, are upstaging my porch furniture 

which needs refreshing. 

Paint chips are displayed so I can see the colors in all the lights of the day.  

I can't wait to see them in the morning.

Edit:  The answer to the question posed on Day 232 (What is it?)

Day 189 of 2018

I found a few treasures at the antique mall. 

The bear paw quilt top is probably the only way 

I will ever end up with a red and white quilt.  

It has just nine blocks but measures 76x78.  

It is both faded and stained in spots. 

The two 9-patch tops are made with many of the same fabrics and blocks,

 are similar in size at approximately 69x87, 

and I am sure were meant to be a pair by the maker.  

My favorite of these 9-patch tops is the one on the right.  

Unfortunately, someone has washed these two tops 

and the one in the middle has blocks that are falling apart as a result.

The vendor acknowledged this and sold it to me for half the asking price.  

I might consider taking it apart to use the good blocks 

to make the other one a bit larger. 

We'll see. Maybe I will be up for an attempt at the repairs.
