the much anticipated little pigeons arrived today, and per the usual, I do not understand measurements.

in any way, shape, or form. these are microscopic, need a magnifying glass to see what they are. so, now there's a flock of pigeons in the Civil War Battlefield. and I ordered 4 pigeons and 2 squirrels from Etsy that are big enough to see. they are unpainted. I can do that. right? didn't want to pay triple to have them expertly painted. they're just going to perch on an abandoned hotel. in a basement. in the outskirts of a town of 317.

took mom on her rounds today....courthouse....x-ray...specialist. they took sling off with some restrictions and physical therapy in a month and followup in 6 weeks. on the way out the door she declared herself released. meanwhile, Russell is evaluating damage in attic from leaky roof...

my passport arrived today! I feel so continental. and I WILL be taking a picture of my foot in Canada. watch me.

now another party is interested in The Avalanche. it deserves more adventure than sitting in a yard year round.

finished the last blocks of my projected (amended) needed # to complete quilt. or so I thought. I laid it out with great fanfare. need 1 more monster. and decided to add 2 plain blocks to each row, so 14 more of those. (I made 2 extra plains. dunno.) but we are getting closer. progress is being made. and the stack of blocks is getting heavy to lug around laying out.
