Weekend Update

It didn't cool off and rain yesterday like Dan promised. Instead it was 95º, humid and gross. Thanks Dan. Today is cooler though, barely 60º and I'm doing everything in my power to incite the rain gods - there's laundry on the line, the windows are down on the truck. I think if I pull ribs and chicken out of the freezer, the clouds will open.

The patio is done, and darn pretty, if I do say so. I have other long shot pictures but the shape and layout haven't changed from the in-process pictures, and gee, this one looks so nice... We still have some topsoil-ing to do, to bring the lawn up to the level of the stone, but that's easy enough. I need to shop now for some bulbs and bushes for the space in front of the garage.

I did also get some sewing time in this week. Bevin's quilt is up to 88 blocks, only 32 to go. And I got my nesting Robin started as well. The motif is interlocking scrolly hearts I found on a German hex sign website. They fill the space pretty well, I think. Next clue comes next Saturday, I imagine I can be done in time.
