I spent the first part of my morning working on a task for the Hall. I’ve had it on my desk for a couple of weeks but I’ll leave it for one more check tomorrow before finalizing it and sending it off.

Wednesday means a morning in the yard and today was one of the best days yet. The weeds are still growing and even the spots I’d weeded previously needed a bit of a touch up but it was sunny and there was a light breeze and the wonderful scent of the lilacs was accompanying me wherever I worked. I did some trimming on the lavender as well and from time to time the lavender overpowered the lilacs. I hate weeding, but I’m starting to enjoy the yard.

We met our next door neighbours this morning; they’ve been there for awhile but we’d never met them. I was doing the weeding and Pat was supervising from the deck when they came home from somewhere. They seemed very friendly and they have a small baby.

This afternoon I’ve been busy quilting. I have just a few more blocks to go and I’ll be done the stabilizing and first design work. I’ve changed my mind a few times regarding where I’ll go from there but hopefully just getting at it will point the way.

I was at my computer by 6:30 this morning trying to catch up on some paperwork. I managed to clear a few things off my desktop but it is going to take a lot of early mornings if I’m to get caught up anytime soon.

I decided to skip the Guild bee today; as Pat put it yesterday I have only one sewing task until it is done. So I’ve spent a good part of the day doing just that.

I took a short break this afternoon to get some photos at the Guild bee. I had a deposit to pick up at the Hall and a bank deposit to make. I had a book to return to the library; I couldn’t help checking the shelves for a book by another author I’ve had recommended to me. That as well as the book I placed on hold this morning will keep me reading for the rest of the month.

As soon as I get some laundry off the line and out of the drier I’ll get back to that sewing project.
