It's Friday!

I had time to get a few more flannel 9-patch blocks sewn together between phone calls and weeding.

As soon as I got home I changed my clothes and headed out back to weed the Lenten Rose bed. What a mess!

An hour later, five 5 gallon buckets of weeds, and talking to my sister while I was weeding and this is what it now looks like - much better!

I pulled a few more thistle that I hadn't seen before in another bed. I got them pulled just before they were getting ready to open up and spew their seeds everywhere. Whew! 

My nephew called me to ask if I was working the show tomorrow night or if I was mad at him. He sends an email out a couple of days before each show with the location, times, etc. I was suppose to email him back and tell him I read the email and that I will be there, but I forgot to do that so he thought I was mad at him. We had a pretty good laugh. He was excited to tell me he got me a birthday present. I said that was so thoughtful, but my birthday isn't for a couple of months. He said I am getting it anyway so I am excited to see what it is. I thought about having a party this year since I am reaching a milestone, but with the pandemic - no way. I might have to do the Olympic plan and delay the big party for a year.

 I was asked to make chocolate chip cookies for the band since this is our last scheduled show for the season.  I am making pan banging chocolate chip cookies and since they are a large cookie it is going to take some time to make as many as I need for everyone. I am going to take a half day vacation today so I can get started on the cookies.  Other than working the show, I will be sewing blocks together and getting some more yard work done while the weather is nice. Have a great long weekend!
