Lions, quilting and weeds - Oh my!

I am glad it is Monday so maybe I can rest a bit. It was a busy weekend! Friday I went and saw a middle school production of The Lion King. The kids did a good job. They must have needed more kids because there were a lot of little kids (2nd and 3rd graders) playing zebras and other animals. They were so cute. I had a crazy trip home - a speeding driver that almost crashed in one town, traffic backed up to get off at several exits in another town, and I ran over a possum. I couldn't slam on my brakes since there was a car right on my butt so the possum got run over. On top of all that I pulled a muscle on my left side and it hurt. It's is ok now.

Saturday was much quieter! I spent most of the day quilting and napping. Sunday I decided I needed to get a start on the weeding. The bed next to the house wasn't too bad. Just some clover that needed pulled. Here is the before and after

The next bed was a real mess. Creeping Charley was taking it over. I pulled all of that and cut back a few of the Mugo pine branches. It now looks a lot better

The center bed is a real mess. I got started by pulling all the thistle before it flowers. I got a few weeds pulled until it was getting too hot. I had been at this for three hours and I had enough for the day. I had barely put a dent in the mess.

I then quilted more on the Harley quilt which is now 73% done. I circled the area that still needs quilted.

Throw in some laundry, making a pot of soup, and putting the lable on a baby quilt rounded out the weekend.

Tonight I will have to get after the alterations so I can hand them over to the lady on Wednesday when I see her.
