Okay I guess maybe the Weather Duck
sums it all up for me... HOLY CRIMINY!! Enough RAIN!

...and this is the coming week!
Can I make Quilted Galoshes?? Hmmm... |
Well I was just
sitting here thinking one of the biggest favors I could do for
myself right about now was to develop a better plan for Things to
do on Rainy Days...and by the look of that forecast I would say
it should be a LONG list!...
1) Go Fishing! The fish tend to bite well in the
rain!
2) Play Cards! Canasta was always a childhood
favorite! Lately my family gravitates to "Florida Rummy" Do not play
on the porch though, after a while the cards won't shuffle well when
stuck together...LOL!
!3) Read! Read! Read! I use the summer to catch up
on all the magazines I don't seem to have time for the rest of the
year, and, since I have been trying to cut down on clutter, I'm
tossing them out or passing them on just as soon as I have read
them! I still don't do quite as good a job letting go of Quilting
Mags though...LOL!
4) Go for a walk in the rain! I have to keep
reminding myself...What's 'gonna happen? You're going to get wet?
Who Cares?!!
5) Well of course you can quilt all day long!
6)..and it's a great time to catch up on
Organizing/Cleaning/ Letter writing. As far as that C-word goes, I
like to do one of those big uggy chores that actually takes some
time. {Last week I moved all the furniture upstairs--maybe it was 2
weeks ago...it's been raining so much I don't remember...LOL!}
7) How about a movie? For me....out of the house is
more fun; I'm here too much already! Someone else's
house is fine-doesn't have to be at a theater.
(Though I am lucky enough to have $1.00 movies on
Monday nights at our local theater)
8) Hit the Garden Center!...How I love being around
all those brightly colored flowers on a rainy day! Oh! That just
reminded me that I saw the most beautiful flower arrangement in a
blog this week! It was a row of different colored hydrangeas,
arranged 2 to a container...in purple and blue aluminum tumblers
along a fireplace mantle...I wish I could remember where I saw it!
This will help you imagine it!

..She used aluminum tumblers like these! |

You can get these at
Amazon.com! -Click photo! - No Affiliation, yadayada... |
There are also things I
would suggest that a person NOT do on a rainy day...
1)Watching Infomercials...please...someone get me a
rope...
Okay so that's only ONE thing, but I really
really mean it! LOL!
Meanwhile...more important
than all of today's marcia-babble... This next is an email posted
on Karolina Kwilters on June 26th, and I think it should be shared
to hopefully help find the owner...
"On Sunday, June 21st, one of my neighbors found a quilt on
the westbound lane of Hwy 64 near Tarboro, NC. She says the quilt
was wrapped in one of those plastic blanket packages. The quilt
appears to be newly made, in wonderful condition. She says it is
hand and machine quilting. There is no label attached and she cannot
find a signature. She wants to return it to its owner, as she is a
needle worker, and says she would be sick if she lost one of her
works. Please pass this email around and if anyone knows
anything, email Alison Boyette at
mom4matkat@gmail.com "
Now...It's time for me to hit the chore of
the day!
Happy Quilting Week!
Marcia :o)
" When it rains, make stew" No one really said that, it just
seems like a good idea! |
