There is a new project that is even more precious than my fiber pursuits! We are watching Will for a few days while his parents are in Hawaii for a trip; Matthew earned the trip because of his top sales at Sherwin Williams! Grandpa fed him his bottle this morning and serenaded him to sleep!
Will and I take stroller rides-he is chewing on the scarf I made and was going to wear to church today. Someone liked it better.....so I gave it to him; a logical grandma choice!
We borrowed the stroller (it helps to have young friends willing to share!) and this exer-saucer so Will would have some entertainment and so I could have 10 mins to catch up while he did so! It is working out great on both counts!
We enjoy a tons of conversations; he is very talkative. He is enjoying the feel and lightness of this woolen shawl and I explain what kind of animal it is from. We both smile a lot! He is also mimicking noises and we have a lot of non-verbal male communication, too; I raised 3 boys and I remember how this is important to them!
On our walks we saw 6 Sand hill cranes in our yard-we have never had this many at peace-usually more than one couple is a fight in the making but these remained social all afternoon!
Flowers in bloom in the pool area are also of interest . The day lilies are show stoppers!
The ground orchid is in full bloom-this is one of 8 groups of flowers out right now.
Will and I enjoyed a swim-the pool water is warm enough not to be a jolt for him-he enjoyed the time to splash with no interruptions from me like for bath time!
A less welcome find on our walk-a Coral Snake which was very dead and snatched by one of our vultures by the end of the day-gratefully!
Oh, I love to see these throughout daughter' yard! The prednisone has been great to give me a boost; a boost so good that I haven...
The quilting was finished on this quilt and then I spent a lot of time making bindings yesterday. I hope to apply them for some finishes ...
I cut up all of the latest Fat Quarter Club fabrics paired with some of my own solids for these 9 patches. It was fun to dig through the sol...
Okay, after so many nice pictures, ending with a nasty coral snake was a real jolt! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI was feeling the need for some Will pictures this morning...thanks for delivering. :) Happy for you to have this special time with him (and a little jealous, too)!
No wonder Will is such a happy boy. Smiles, conversation, a nice walk, a swim, food on demand... I'd be smiling all he time, too!
ReplyDeletelooks like you're all having a great time - no wonder in this weather!
ReplyDeletehave fun with the wee one!
Will is definitely a Minolta -- he looks so much like Bill and therefore, of course, like his daddy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Matthew on the achievement!
Ah, grandson time -- enjoy some for me too!
Love your orange orchid! It reminds me of one my mom had - just beautiful!!!
