AND THERE IS YARN

I have been 'busy' plying the spun singles 
and wound them off the bobbin.
And now I have 225 yards of DK yarn from Blue Faced Leicester wool;  very soft and prettily colored.  No, I have no idea what I am going to knit from it yet but hope to find something to spark my interest soon!
Here is a bonus photo--A deliciously aromatic rose that was from Bill's Mom's house, she planted down here in 1979 and in 2019, Bill planted near the pond out back where it has more moisture.  It is thriving despite some loving attention from the deer and a few floods!

SPECIAL DELIVERY!

The repairs were finished on son's boat engine so we took a drive up to Fernandina Beach to deliver it to them!  The weather turned out much warmer and dryer than what was predicted and we headed out for a test drive!
We unloaded a bit north of them on the intercoastal near 
where it empties into the ocean.
Some others were out appreciating the day and the fish that were swimming near the surface of the water! 
 (a dolphin not a shark!)
And these birds were on the shoreline but too far away to see clearly!  Even when I magnify the pic, it distorts the image
 so I'm not sure what they are!
Caleb grabbed a selfie of grandson, son and me!
For those of you longing for summers blooms....a peace rose!  My daughter-in-law has a green thumb, too!
And a tea rose.  They both smelled heavenly!  it was a bit of a whirlwind day but we loved every minute together!
 

STAGES OF THINGS

All the blocks for this quilt are made but not organized or sewn together.  The blocks are 9" unfinished so the quilt will be around 50...
