Bright and sunny this morning with a temperature of only 66.  However, it is going to be 86 later on...not too hot but I would rather it stayed in the high 70's of very low 80's.

This weekend I finally got all the plants I purchased planted.  And I tied up a large bush that was falling down.  It looked like an animal had landed in the middle forcing it to lay down.  

I also finished cleaning out Duchess and today we are going to move some plastic containers in.  Unfortunately, on the day we had so much rain, I noticed that there was a leak.  It didn't make it into the trailer itself, but I could see some discolor in the ceiling.  There's no rain in the forecast for the next ten days so I am thinking that it will be dry enough on the top of the trailer to lay down some sealer.

And I did make it to the quilt show of Gee's Bend's creations.  It was in two places and I went to both.  Lots of quilters were in attendance.  Here are some of the pictures I took...

If your not familiar with Gee's Bend's Quilts, they are quilts made by folks living in Alabama's Black Belt Region who created their quilt with whatever fabric they could find in a primitive manner.  A good lesson is using what you have to make something colorful and beautiful.

So, Cookie, is getting bigger and into everything...including my paper creations...

It turned out to be a busy weekend both inside (rearranging rooms without the plastic containers) and outside (planting the purchased flowers) and today I have an annual appointment with my cardiologist after which I need to pick up a few things (like sealer for Duchess) and then maybe some fishing.  I caught a really big large-mouth bass the last time I went fishing.  Of course, we let it go.  We're big on catch and release fishing.

Plans this week include finishing moving stuff out to Duchess, sealing her top, finish rearranging the guest room and working on the quilt guild website and another Summer Newsletter, Part Two!  And I want to take one of the barn quilt tours which is fairly close to us.  Sounds busy and fun.  Hope you have some fun things planned for the week.

That's it for now...

Talk with you tomorrow...
