Slow Sunday Stitching

It was another busy week, and unfortunately no sewing or quilting got done.  My heat pump is still out, with our weather last week has been in the 100's, to high 90s.  Tuesday the Home Warranty HVAC guy came out, and after 10 minutes looking at the fan blade, the company determined this was not normal wear and tear and they weren't paying anything.  I had the number of an HVAC company one of my Begonia Society friends had used and recommended, and they came out a couple of hours later, and have ordered a new fan blade, which hopefully will arrive early next week, and I will have A/C again.

Due to it being 85+ in the house, even with fans, I didn't feel the urge or motivation to  to sew.  I mostly binge read last week.  I read about 10 of Joan DeMaio's Seaside Saga series.  I think I am caught up now.  

I have also been having a problem with the tire sensors in my car.  I had 2 replaced last year before I got my new tires.  The sensor indicator came on again 3 weeks ago.  So I made an appointment at Costco to have my tires rotated, and 2 more sensors put in.   Then a week later the indicator went off again, and I took it to a tire place across from my SIL's used car lot.  They told me nothing was wrong, but Costco had put on my spare upside down so you couldn't read the sensor.  They fixed that.  Then 2 days later it went off again, and I drove my car back 17 miles over to the same place.  Apparently when Costco put the new sensor in they damaged my 2008 spare tire.  So I need to drive back over next week to get a new spare tire, or a fixed one.

All of this stuff has sort of got me down.

Saturday, I went with my two daughters and some of her coworkers for the hospital system she works with down to the American Heart Association walk.  My husband John had heart disease so I was happy to do it.  We went for a really nice brunch afterwards.

We got some really nice turquoise T-shirts.  

My garden sadly needs a lot of work done.  It has been too blasted hot to do much.  My hydrangeas this year didn't bloom much at all because of the heat.  

I planted Mexican Sunflowers from seed and this one is huge.

I was able to repot my new begonias and arrange them by my front door.

This begonia is planted in the ground.  It died off a little bit from frost last year, but came back very nicely.

The plant next to the coleus is a begonia called Freddie.

What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching is Witch Hazel.  

I'll be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  

Thanks for stopping by!
