Brownie was ecstatic to see Mary arrive yesterday, trying to jump into her arms.
Wouldn't it be nice if people were that thrilled to see us walk in the door? I rarely go anywhere these days, but at least when I do Brownie is also that excited to see me return.
When we walked into Mary's house Shadow was resting on the dining room chair so he immediately "noticed" the intruder - though as soon as Brownie turned away Shadow promptly disappeared into the back of the house.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch, and then an afternoon on the shady porch out back. It was a warm day (learned on the news later that we reached 95) but Brownie still did a fair bit of sunbathing after exploring all the nooks and crannies (and watering profusely.) I just love Mary's backyard, with all the different (and colorful) flora.
She has started a McKenna Ryan project, which are always spectacular designs.
She admitted to feeling a little guilty over diving in because she thought she 'should' be doing things around the house (FYI already neat as a pin) to get ready for family on Easter Sunday - but at least the sun had cooperated by moving before she had finished tracing the pattern.
The quilt will be lovely, though (of course...) I put in my two cents worth, opining that the flowers should be nice and bright instead of those muted blues. I also offered her the 'use' of my sizable stash of florals that would love to be included. Note that these are only the 'yardage' pieces; there are lots of countless flower fabrics in my various scrap buckets!
My foot is so much more comfortable without the splint, and every day I inch closer to becoming bandage-less. Thankfully the itching underneath the wrap isn't too bad.
It's also wonderful that getting dressed and undressed has become much less of a hassle, as Simone Biles demonstrates....
This morning I cut my Cat-in-the-Hat leftovers into 2.5" strips and started another quilt.
