Cold July 09


Out side my front door... flowers and weeds. Don is Mr Chemical Man and got out his sprayer and took care of the weeds in the rocks and between the cracks in the patio. Donya and Don went berserk at the Mennonite green house this spring, and we have lots of flowers across the front of the patio and in containers everywhere. Alfie has been ever so good as to not dig them up. If we were having normal hot July weather, I'm sure the story would be much different.

This is a record setting cold July for Iowa. The high was only 61 degrees a few days ago. The flowers are huddled up trying to keep warm.

I am preparing for another quilt retreat, getting menus made and food prepared as much ahead of time as is possible. Discovered I had forgotten to buy a couple items when Don and I went to town yesterday. It is a pity that we drove 50 miles to the store and forgot 2 important parts of our meals. grrrrrr This retreat starts Thursday and ends Sunday afternoon.
