The Season for Bunnies

Got my “Bunnies in the Cabin” hung for the Easter season. I found the little bunny neighborhood set at the thrift store the last time Ramey and I went. I thought it would make a great compliment for the quilt--and I was right. I love it. The beautiful doily was, I believe, crocheted by my niece Jenny, who passed away in 2000. She did lots of lovely crochet work.I found it at Joanne’s house when we were cleaning out.

This is spring-forward night, as you probably know. I hate it. For me, there aren’t enough hours in a day anyway. I hate to have to give up one. Why can’t whoever does this just pick a method and stick with it? What’s the good of this springing forward and falling back? It does not save time. It never has saved time. And it never will save time.

Love your bunny quilt, the wee Easter village under it and the lovely crochet doily. How special that the doily was probably make by your dear niece Jenny.

About Daylight Savings Time ... I was told as a child that its purpose was to give farmers more hours of daylight so they could work longer in the fields. I wonder if there are enough farmers left to need to upset the entire nation by changing the time twice a year? Of course there are some parts of the country that refuse to change time! Nashville, Indiana is one.

Hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
