Slow Sunday Stitching

This week was a slower pace than recent ones.  The first part of the week I spent cleaning house and working in the yard in preparation for Community Service work day at my house.    I had some turkey visitors this week, they were busy checking out my yard when I was trying to water the front section.  Weather has been in the high 80's to 90's this week, so maybe they were trying to cool off.  

After the community service workday at my house, I got my sewing things back out in the kitchen and dining room.   But then I didn't feel like doing anything.  

I just sort of took it easy the rest of the week, dreading Saturday the second anniversary of John's death.  I read several books and did some puzzles on my I-pad.    I did work a bit on my Ella Maria Deacon blocks and finished one block and started another.  

Saturday daughter Katie and granddaughter Katie came over and spent the day with me.  We did some retail therapy at our favorite nursery.  I purchased some more flowers, and pieces for my drip irrigation units.  I found two of my units shooting water straight up in the air.  So hopefully I purchased the right parts.  We had lunch at a favorite cafe.   We also went over to daughter Kristen's house later on,  as Katie and Klara had not met the new pup Hank yet..

Kristen, SIL Jeff and I went out for frozen yogurt afterwards.   They had all sorts of toppings to use.  Next week one of the flavors is going to be banana pudding.  

For Slow Sunday Stitching this week I will be working on my Ella Maria Deacon blocks.  I have one half done and another prepared.  I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  

Thanks for stopping by!
