It looked like rain this morning but I headed out to my job anyway. My boss came out on the deck before I had even started and suggested I might want to stay indoors. I cleared a very small patch and then the cold wind and dampness put a stop to my weeding. It was with some delight that I anticipated making a start on my quilting.

The quilting design didn’t go as well as I had hoped and I’ve given up on the Sashiko idea. The designs I was looking at are just too small; the book suggests enlarging them by 200% but that size would be too big to fit in the blocks I was wanting to use. So I’ve devised another design and I got a bit of it done before lunch.

While I was downstairs at lunch I noticed the moving truck at the library – I guess they really are abandoning me. The library has been closed this week and will open again the last week of June. The Guild was waiting for the move to happen because we are getting one of their old bookshelves for the library in our new location. Somehow losing the library and having more work to do to set up the Guild library doesn’t seem fair.

I spent the afternoon working on Cranberry Hall business. I’ve got the books almost ready to go to the accountant and I’ve managed to scratch a few other items off my to-do list. Our next meeting is the day after we come back from Calgary and guess who (our President) suggested a pot-luck supper at our place? The Guild pot luck is tomorrow night and I’ve already wimped out and decided to buy something – hopefully I can find something I can put into my own serving bowl and get away with!

We’re off to an outdoor concert at the beach tonight. It is still windy, but not as cold, and there are only a few drops of rain in the air. The sky looks like there could be more but I guess if we want people to come out to our Cranberry Day in August (even in inclement weather) we have to be prepared to do the same for other groups.
