Proposed tasks for the day . . . accomplished!

 I had four quilts piled on my sewing table that I would have to move off every day when I wanted to sew. All they each needed was some final quilting seams . . . that took all of five minutes each which made me wonder why I kept putting it off.

Morning Chore . . .

 I spent the morning finally sorting through my quilts and refolding them. I do this every couple of months to prevent creases and to see where I'm at in regards to Christmas gifts, etc. The count was 57 quilts! I get a lot of offers from people who want to buy one but most of them think they are being generous offering me $20! :-( No sale at that price!

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?


The year before, my husband went overboard on his tomato plants and we had an abundance of the crop. This year, he narrowed down his plant numbers and the plants got even by growing even more foliage than usual and doubling their output of fruit. Our friends and neighbors are happy about it and my freezer is filling up with bags of tomatoes. Although the call to help pick tomatoes sends us all into hiding, I have to admit that only having to go to the freezer for tomatoes in the Fall and Spring will be worth the effort.
