...6.29...Over the Weekend...

...BIG NEWS!...My sweet Sissie finally got her Birthday Package...

...just a W.I.P. photo from months ago...haha...I tried to do a little sketch of their boat...I snatched some photos from her sailing blog...McCraw Sails...but there really aren't a lot of photos of her boat for obvious reasons...it's pretty difficult to photograph your own boat if you're on it...so hopefully she'll get a lot of use out of it...

...and I made her a sweet little pair of slippers exactly like my TWO-TONED WOMEN'S SLIPPERS from XOXO CROCHET...except hers are aqua and grey...so pretty...

...and then I packed it all up with "the card" we've been sending back and forth for years...but you already know that saga...

...and I thought it was funny that she took almost exactly the same photo...

...in other news...one of our parishoners brought us a bag full of blueberries (bloobs) and peaches...I think some of the nicest people in the world live here...

...so I had my first fresh home-grown peach of the year...so delicious...

...it's not a very good photo...but the Saharan dust storm is making for some spectacular sunsets...and that's the un-mown field in the foreground...

...we did a bit of decorating for Independence Day...

...just a tiny bit...but I'm planning a patriotic Porch Pillow for next month...it won't be ready for the 4th...of course...

...they cut the field...with lights on at 10 o'clock at night...we heard the noise and wondered...what on earth...haha...

...then they waited a day and raked it a couple of times...

...and then yesterday...they baled it...

...I'm happy they got it all done in a weekend...it really has been perfect hay-making weather...hot and dry...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
