I think we are slowly getting back to what may be the new normal. Still observing distances in lines which is not a bad thing and masks in crowds.
It was nice to visit and sew with friends last week. I get inspired seeing what others have been doing. My yard is fixed for the duration with the exception of a message from Aqua, my water people, about a "backflow prevention device" which should be on and tested yearly. People here who have lived here for 9 years said it is the first they have heard of this. I think Aqua dropped the ball when they installed water lines and want us to foot the bill. HOA is investigating.
This is a beef steak begonia in my friend Judy's yard. She gave me a cutting she had rooted. They are awesome.
My orchids which were house warming gifts from Mary and her daughter in 2018 have out done theirselves. The blooms on the small one are nearly gone and the large one had two more blooms after the others had been out for months. I raise my shades on these windows each morning and give each plant a little water each time. It seems to keep them happy.
This is Smith mountain morning two. I finally finished the second edition and am waiting to get material for a back before it goes to Heather. If I have already put this picture in blog just ignore.
I am working on two quilts. One is a scrappy which I am repeating from a smaller version. It is
difficult for me not to make a large quilt to go over my pillows. The second one is a version of a
pattern in blues. Surprise.
Have a wonderful end of April. Sunny quilting.
