Today we rode to Dairy Queen and had Blizzards and Chili Cheese Dogs. Against
the wind, it was a tough 6 miles. I was thinking about how many calories I was burning when I added the Blizzard to the order. Well, if I had driven over there it would have been a 0, so it was a good addition to dinner!
the wind chimes on the deck are bonging away in the wind even now.
Wow, when I looked out at the wind chimes, I saw McGee barking at something on the ground. Ohhhhhh........I suspected snake and knew, with Frank gone, I needed to be the man of the house. I put my big girl panties on, grabbed some dog treats and the snake killing implement, a flat head shovel. It was a copperhead! Now I am really freaked out from that. And killing it makes me crazy freaked out.
OK, when my breathing and heartbeat gets back to normal.........I will continue
Whew!
I made the decision to take the Star Quilt off the frame. I was having a problem dealing with the straight lines. I figured I could do better with a walking foot on the Singer. I finished it up.
Trimmed up the sides and am now looking for the extra backing fabric I got for the binding. With any luck it will be with the Airplane top.But then I am not sure I want to be sticking my hands into dark places I haven't been in a while.........
So I removed it. I will do a post on that tomorrow for you.
I think I need a glass of Duck Commander Wine!
Did you kill it? Omg, I would be screaming like a girly girl but then you got to do what you got to do. I am woman hear me roar, or kill as the case may be. I can NOT do straight lines so I don't even try. It does look good on that star though. I bought one of those rulers for the long arm but I have a sweet 16 sit down and you have to move the fabric with your two hand so unless I miraculously sprout a third hand I can't use it. Why didn't I think of that when I pain $15.00 for the damn thing? But I digress.
ReplyDeleteHow big was the snake? Why didn't you take a picture of it to post so we could see it? LOL! I am just kidding! It is just good that the dogs just bark at them and not get close enough to get bit. I have never had to do away with a snake, but I have offed quite a few bats. The last one at my brother's house didn't even bother me enough to get the adrenalin pumping. They just don't bother me that much. I don't discovering them indoors, but it doesn't get me too excited anymore.
