And it will be a scorcher of a day here
I am reminding myself that the other 10 months of the year are delightful in comparison to July and August. The humidity is definitely a factor in the heat.
But everyone copes–we stay inside in the heat of the day for the most part. Or at least I do. And in the early evenings, everyone emerges and there are neighbor visits to enjoy while watering or checking the mailbox. My AC is mostly keeping up, though yesterday upstairs, the heat overran the AC system for a bit of time. The downstairs remains cool.
I’m quite happy grilling outside (which keeps the kitchen cool and clean) and puttering away at household chores and my quilty projects. So being inside is fine. I miss my porch at noon though. Yet, granddaughter Mina suggested we sit out there for our Friday night meal, and that was lovely.
At night I’m sewing on the second border row of the quilt from hell.
The papers are out except for the edges where I still need them in order to sew on the borders. Maybe this close-up will show you how tricky it is to sew these curves.
I can FEEL the end of this quilt top being finished–and the rest of the quilting process (layering, quilting) will be a joy in comparison to making this top. I’ll set up the third border pieces later today.
I’m off to run some errands before it gets too hot. And my morning coffee is finished now, so it is time to mosey along.
I’m looking forward to finishing the 4th set of the mystery blocks today–then it will be back to the half-square triangle quilt I’m so enjoying watching take form.

I am so proud of you. You do me proud. I’m not nearly as productive as you are, but that’s fine. I stitch when I want.
You have a great 4th. We are headed to a cookout at my sisters. Enjoy & stay cool.

Hi Louisa! This is Judy Lang. You are so amazing. Can’t keep up with u but think of u often. All is well here. Kirk and I celebrated our 60th. I stay really busy but favorite time is deep water aerobics twice a week and golf once. Kirk plays golf and busy with Shriners. You move was wise but sure u miss Maine 2. We are still in our old little house. U wouldn’t recognize N Sycamore st. Beautiful new mansions that are filled with young fun neighbors. We are very content. Miss you.
So lovely to hear from you Judy. My best to Kirk. And YOU, of course. Thanks for reading my blog. You and Kirk sound healthy and happy. Interesting news about gentrification on N. Sycamore. Congrats on the 60th! That is awesome. I’m content too. The move was…wise. I’m happy here.
