garden flowers

We were both up before 7 AM on Saturday (8/9)…Michael went to the grocery store, while I collected everything I needed for the final sorting of our school supplies up at the Lake House.  He dropped me off at 8 and Becky and I proceeded to get the room all set up for the sorters.  We had a FABULOUS group of people helping and got everything sorted and loaded onto the trucks, which will deliver the supplies to both elementary schools next week.  I was home by 11:30 and was absolutely exhausted.  I took 2 Aleve, read the paper, took a quick nap, then Michael and I headed over to Jan’s to get a stationary bicycle out of her car and into her sun room.  The therapy people have been urging her to get Walt on a bike, so she bought one on Friday.  We took the long way home to check out all of the new construction, and once we were home, Michael took off for 9 holes of (squishy….lots of rain this morning) golf, while I got a second wind and continued sewing.  I sewed until 6, when Michael did burgers on the grill for dinner (our first burgers of the year and it is AUGUST!!!)  I went back to sewing until 8, then wandered upstairs for some snuggling!

Michael picked the most beautiful bouquet from our garden, including the FIRST hydrangea blossom!!!

includes hydrangeas, dahlias, zinnias, daisies & a sunflower

Jan and I had errands we ran Sunday morning (8/10), and I spent the rest of the day in the studio, working on things.   In addition to working on secret things, I got all of the strips for my remaining tumbling blocks cut and sewn into strata.  We had leftover skillet lasagna for dinner and I continued sewing until after 8 PM, when I joined Michael to watch a bit of TV before bed.
