A Bearly Moving Monday!

Oh goodness.

This was 2 days ago at abut midnight -

The Hubster thought “Since the deer love the fallen apples from the apple tree at Quiltville Inn, wouldn’t it be nice if I put some by the salt lick at the cabin for the deer there?”

The deer never stood a chance.

My response? “Don’t FEED the BEARS!”

Now they will come back and search for more apples, so this little kindness is OVER, buster!

Forget that standing up thing -

Let’s just have a sit-down meal of it!

There were ZERO apples left by the time he was done.

The apples aren’t great.  The tree hasn’t been pruned or tended in likely decades.  We’ll have to see about that – but the deer do eat as far up the tree as they can get.  Wormy or mushy or whatever – they don’t seem to care.

Yesterday’s porch view -

SO green and lush – you can hardly tell there is a creek down in there – but I heard the moo-ing of cows mulling around as I pulled into the Quiltville Post Office parking lot to start the unloading process this morning.

You guys.  I am SO tired I can barely move.  I am currently entering full on introvert mode.

It’s a day of unpacking, reorganizing, settling in, getting mail out and just all in all doing the three monkey thing with a slight wording change.

See no one.

Listen to no one.

Speak to no one.

I had a blast – but July has been SO VERY FULL.  I can’t believe we still have any July left!  Isn’t it over yet?  11 workshops and 2 lectures – in just over 2 weeks. So many many miles on my van.

I’m looking forward to the next almost 2 weeks being spent here in Virginia.

Last night with my own camera!

I may have shared photos before, but I needed to see the bathroom progress with my own eyes.  This is the downstairs used-to-be half-bath.  Now a full bath!  I think I have made the executive decision to let that pedestal sink GO in favor of a cabinet with storage.  There isn’t room in here now for a wash stand (There was a really cute one in here previously that will live somewhere else.) or any kind of shelf.  So back to Lowes I will go and see what I can find.

Tiling is happening!

From the photo I can’t even tell if this is the front upstairs bath or the back one – It’s really hard to get a photo from within the bathroom itself.  But I am SO HAPPY with the choices we have made to do this.

By the yellow wall color I can tell this is front upstairs bath!

The narrow space between the shower and the wall will be for TP storage, etc…it’s not that much of a space, but it will be used – perhaps broom/mop – who knows.

This girl!

I’ve missed her so much and she was so excited when we came in the door.  The poor thing is developing a bit of arthritis or bursitis in her hip and is limping a bit.  I need to find a new vet up here and have her records transferred over and get her some elder-dog-care going on.  That is on the to-do list for this week.

It doesn’t stop her from catching pop corn though!

A bit of binding was accomplished last night – but I admit falling asleep in the middle of it.  I don’t think I’ve felt this worn out in a long time.

The van is unloaded.  The invoices are printed.  I have my lunch and snacks in the little QPO fridge.  One thing at a time -

Quiltville Quote of the Day

Vintage Nine-Patch shared in Hershey!

Is there anything prettier than a simple 9-patch quilt? This lovely antique quilt was shared during our show & share section of our workshop time in Hershey, Pennsylvania this weekend. Now all I can think of is making some simple nine-patches.

However you spend your Monday, here's to hoping you find some time to pet the fat quarters!
