Probably white slacks, dresses and skirts too.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Galen was away for a few days last week Getting back on Friday, they had an interesting trip on I-37. There had been a shooting in Corpus Christie. The suspect tried to out run the Police on I-37. They put spikes across the road, he got out of his pick up wearing an armored vest and shooting. Not a smart move on his part. Fortunately no one else was hurt, but it was a good 90 minutes before traffic slowly started to move in either direction. This all started about 30 minutes earlier, so Galen was not close to any of it. Their plans of getting back early on the Friday before Labor day didn’t quite work out, but they still weren’t too late.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">White he was away I found more partial blocks to press, measure and trim. If I ever get all this organized it will be amazing! 3 1/2 inch 4 patches. Think these will end up being centers for some scrappy star blocks. The red and black half square triangles were from me not using the correct size triangle paper! No problem, will get used some where.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":157924347,"permalink":"https:\/\/poodlesandquilts.wordpress.com\/2023\/09\/04\/happy-labor-day-2023\/"}" style="--wp--style--unstable-gallery-gap: var( --wp--style--gallery-gap-default, var( --gallery-block--gutter-size, var( --wp--style--block-gap, 0.5em ) ) ); align-items: normal; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: var( --wp--style--gallery-gap-default, var( --gallery-block--gutter-size, var( --wp--style--block-gap, 0.5em ) ) ); margin: 0px 0px 0.875em;"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="align-self: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; position: relative; width: calc(50% - var(--wp--style--unstable-gallery-gap,16px)*.5);"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3089" data-attachment-id="3089" data-comments-opened="1" data-id="3089" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20230901_122213" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=1024" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=300" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg" data-orig-size="3403,2370" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.wordpress.com/2023/09/04/happy-labor-day-2023/20230901_122213/" height="2370" sizes="(max-width: 3403px) 100vw, 3403px" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=1024" srcset="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=150 150w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=300 300w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122213.jpg?w=768 768w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: block; flex: 1 0 0%; height: 270.719px; max-width: 100%; object-fit: cover; vertical-align: middle; width: 365.25px;" width="3403" /></figure><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="align-self: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; position: relative; width: calc(50% - var(--wp--style--unstable-gallery-gap,16px)*.5);"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3090" data-attachment-id="3090" data-comments-opened="1" data-id="3090" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20230901_122039" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=1024" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=300" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg" data-orig-size="3238,2403" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.wordpress.com/2023/09/04/happy-labor-day-2023/20230901_122039/" height="2403" sizes="(max-width: 3238px) 100vw, 3238px" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=1024" srcset="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=150 150w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=300 300w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230901_122039.jpg?w=768 768w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: block; flex: 1 0 0%; height: 270.719px; max-width: 100%; object-fit: cover; vertical-align: middle; width: 365.25px;" width="3238" /></figure></figure><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">I was able to get the rest of the blocks made for the Strips and Strings Rail Fence I had posted earlier. 48 blocks. On Saturday I put the top together using the webbing method. That took me a little while to get used too when I did it for the quadrille quilt last month. But it makes more sense the more I do it. Basically chain piecing rows together!! Everything lines up and doesn’t get mixed up! The top isn’t quite this bright-nice sunny day. But it is colorful! The top is about 54 by 72. Nice throw size. And no it did not make a dent in my scraps!</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3096" data-attachment-id="3096" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20230902_161849-1" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg?w=779" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg?w=228" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg" data-orig-size="2196,2887" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.wordpress.com/2023/09/04/happy-labor-day-2023/20230902_161849-1/" height="2887" sizes="(max-width: 2196px) 100vw, 2196px" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg" srcset="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg 2196w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg?w=114&h=150 114w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg?w=228&h=300 228w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg?w=768&h=1010 768w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230902_161849-1.jpg?w=779&h=1024 779w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 491px;" width="2196" /></figure><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">I have been enjoying watching the Hummingbirds coming into our feeders. The feeders are getting more activity this year since the heat and drought have really taken a toll on the flowers. We have some blooming but not like normal years. The Firebush is doing well as is the Pride of Barbados but not many others. Took this one thru a window with my phone. Not the best picture.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-3097" data-attachment-id="3097" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20230828_184516" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg?w=826" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg?w=242" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg" data-orig-size="1612,1998" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.wordpress.com/2023/09/04/happy-labor-day-2023/20230828_184516/" height="1998" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 1612px) 100vw, 1612px" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg" srcset="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg 1612w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg?w=121&h=150 121w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg?w=242&h=300 242w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg?w=768&h=952 768w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/20230828_184516.jpg?w=826&h=1024 826w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 574px;" width="1612" /></figure><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Lady and I took advantage of cooler mornings and had our morning coffee on the deck.

We need to get some big branches off that are over our roof once again. Hopefully we won’t have a winter like we had in 2021 and this year but you never know. It’s hard to imagine with all that came down or split and needed to come off after the ice storm in February, but the one big Live Oak really took off and unfortunately over the house roof.

Mom made my dress. We found the satin at a warehouse and remenant store outside of Reading. Mom found most of my fabrics for gowns there. College recital gowns etc. All told, my Wedding Gown cost all of $100.00. I didn’t find the pattern for the wedding party dresses that I made. We kept everything simple including their dresses. Princess line dress that could be shortened afterwards. Fun to reminisce a little.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">I wasn’t able to get back to the Two Rivers quilt last week.

So you know where I have been, inside!! Actually we have had our morning coffee outside, not often but we have. And at dusk we have been able to sit out at times, if there is a breeze. Sitting here watching a hummingbird at the feeder right outside. We put out fresh food every couple of days. Which reminds me, need to make more today! We have pulled out a few geraniums- empty pots look better than those with dead plants!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">I have managed some sewing as well as cleaning-need to do a lot more of each but am slowly making headway. Have one top with backing set aside for Osie to quilt. And did get started on making blocks from my Two Rivers quilt. Pattern by Pat Speth. It’s a scrappy quilt and using batiks. I need 24 of each block.

Good progress on that one. Using that as my beginning and ending when I need to remove my Two Rivers blocks from my machine. Or leaders and enders as most quilters call those pieces. It’s a great way to get another bunch of blocks or parts of blocks done. Will share a picture of my strip and strings progress later. Am really enjoying scrap quilting right now.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Did make a really good Chinese chicken dish last night. Honey Sriracha Chicken. Will definitely keep that recipe.

It would probably have died in another year. It had some big limbs that were getting brittle.

We had rain yesterday morning. As much as it is good to get rain we, of course, wish it would rain on our schedule! The crew today worked on trimming our Live Oaks in front. Raised the crown and got a branch that was close to our roof in front. Today they were able to do everything from the ground. The Live Oaks in back aren’t as easy. One person will be rigged for climbing. We have a good size limb over the roof in back.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.875em; padding: 0px;"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":157924347,"permalink":"https:\/\/poodlesandquilts.com\/2021\/10\/13\/day-1-trees\/"}" style="display: flex;

Our tree guys were finally able to get us on the schedule. They start tomorrow. I think the Red Oak is first. Get rid of all the dead branches. Our Lacey Bark Elm will be cut down. And there are lots of dead branches that need to go in the rest of our Live Oaks. Will be sad to see the Elm go but it needs too. The way the bark is falling off it wouldn’t be long before it was dead and a hazard. Better it goes now.3</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.875em; padding: 0px;"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":157924347,"permalink":"https:\/\/poodlesandquilts.com\/2021\/10\/11\/columbus-day-2021\/"}" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;"><li class="blocks-gallery-item" style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin: 0px 1em 1em 0px; position: relative; width: calc(50% - 1em);"><figure style="align-items: flex-end; display: flex; height: 480.656px; justify-content: flex-start; margin: 0px;"><img class="wp-image-2013" data-attachment-id="2013" data-comments-opened="1" data-id="2013" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20211007_1552402859952429593656932" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552402859952429593656932.jpg?w=768" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552402859952429593656932.jpg?w=225" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552402859952429593656932.jpg" data-orig-size="3024,4032" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.com/2021/10/11/columbus-day-2021/20211007_1552402859952429593656932/" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552402859952429593656932.jpg" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; flex: 1 1 0%; height: 480.656px; max-width: 100%; object-fit: cover; vertical-align: middle; width: 360.5px;" /></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item" style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin: 0px 0px 1em; position: relative; width: calc(50% - 1em);"><figure style="align-items: flex-end; display: flex; height: 480.656px; justify-content: flex-start; margin: 0px;"><img class="wp-image-2014" data-attachment-id="2014" data-comments-opened="1" data-id="2014" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20211007_1552553534218773487928069" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552553534218773487928069.jpg?w=768" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552553534218773487928069.jpg?w=225" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552553534218773487928069.jpg" data-orig-size="3024,4032" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.com/2021/10/11/columbus-day-2021/20211007_1552553534218773487928069/" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/10/20211007_1552553534218773487928069.jpg" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; flex: 1 1 0%; height: 480.656px; max-width: 100%; object-fit: cover; vertical-align: middle; width: 360.5px;" /></figure></li></ul></figure><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Almost missed our Oxblood Lilies that are blooming.

So we are blaming some of Lady’s actions on Harvey.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.875em; padding: 0px;"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":157924347,"permalink":"https:\/\/poodlesandquilts.com\/2021\/08\/28\/getting-some-yard-work-done\/"}" style="cursor: pointer; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><li class="blocks-gallery-item" style="align-self: inherit; display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin: 0px 1em 1em 0px; position: relative; width: calc(50% - 1em);"><figure style="align-items: flex-end; display: flex; height: 440.5px; justify-content: flex-start; margin: 0px;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-1950" data-attachment-id="1950" data-comments-opened="1" data-id="1950" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=1024" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=300" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg" data-orig-size="3000,2019" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.com/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829/" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=1024" srcset="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=150 150w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=300 300w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302006736431032689329661802829.jpg?w=768 768w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; display: block; flex: 1 1 0%; height: 440.5px; max-width: 100%; object-fit: cover; vertical-align: middle; width: 360.5px;" /></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item" style="align-self: inherit; display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin: 0px 0px 1em; position: relative; width: calc(50% - 1em);"><figure style="align-items: flex-end; display: flex; height: 440.5px; justify-content: flex-start; margin: 0px;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-1951" data-attachment-id="1951" data-comments-opened="1" data-id="1951" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg" data-large-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=838" data-medium-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=246" data-orig-file="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg" data-orig-size="2455,3000" data-permalink="https://poodlesandquilts.com/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416/" sizes="(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=838" srcset="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=838 838w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=1676 1676w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=123 123w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=246 246w, https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/wp-16302007293427296797185741598416.jpg?w=768 768w" style="border-radius: 3px; border: 0px; display: block; flex: 1 1 0%; height: 440.5px; max-width: 100%; object-fit: cover; vertical-align: middle; width: 360.5px;" /></figure></li></ul></figure><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0px;">They didn’t have enough mulch to finish the beds in the front.

Have not been upstairs to sew at all since my last post. Mostly doing things in the downstairs-general clean up, putting things away as well as getting rid of some things. Will start getting back up stairs but need to do it in the morning hours to avoid turning the AC temperature down too much!We did plant more perennials outside the fence where the Lady Banks had been. Should say Galen planted! Our center bed in the back is bringing in the butterflies and hummingbirds. Love being able to watch them flit around the flowers, going from one to another.</p><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em;">We did receive some unwelcomed news yesterday; some residual tree damage from our unusual storm in February. Our Lacebark Elm in front that we planted shortly after moving in 22 years ago needs to come down. The bark is falling off and that’s not good. Will get diseased and then rot from the inside out. So while we could leave it standing for several more years we run the risk of a good size branch falling and possibly hitting a car or people. So for risk management sake, it was suggested we take the tree down now. We know all about risk management. My Dad was Risk Manager for the telephone company before retiring. We were hoping that cutting off the dead branches would be the solution, but not with the bark peeling off.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;

Galen had cut them way back and they were getting green leaves. Now those leaves are all dead. We’ve had a few hot days and that was not helpful for the plant to survive. I told Galen this was Mother Nature’s way of telling us it was time to rethink our shrubs etc.! It could have been worse. He told us of one subdivision on the west side of Round Rock. They had 120 Lace Bark Elms in the median that had to come down! I can’t imagine that bill the HOA had to deal with! We will be happy with landscape problems. Friends are still trying to get back into their homes after water damage (pipes bursting) from the February storm.</p><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0px;">Until next time</p></div><footer class="entry-footer" style="color: #b3b3b1; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0.875em 0px 3.5em;"><div class="entry-meta" style="margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span class="byline" style="display: inline-block; margin-right: 1.3125em; margin-top: 0px; top: 3px; vertical-align: middle;"> <a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/author/poodlegirls/" rel="author" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Posts by poodlegirls">poodlegirls</a></span> <span class="cat-links" style="display: inline-block; margin-right: 1.3125em; top: 3px; vertical-align: middle;"> <a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/category/daily-happenings/" rel="category tag" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">Daily Happenings</a>, <a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/category/life-at-home/" rel="category tag" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">Life at home</a>, <a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/category/nature/" rel="category tag" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">Nature</a>, <a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">Uncategorized</a></span> <span class="comments-link" style="display: inline-block; margin-right: 1.3125em; top: 3px; vertical-align: middle;"><a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/2021/08/17/mid-august-2021/#comments" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">2 Comments</a></span> <span class="published-on" style="display: inline-block; margin-right: 1.3125em; top: 3px; vertical-align: middle;"> <a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/2021/08/17/mid-august-2021/" rel="bookmark" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">August 17, 2021</a></span> <span class="word-count" style="display: inline-block; margin-right: 1.3125em; top: 3px; vertical-align: middle;">2 Minutes</span><span class="edit-link" style="display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; top: 3px; vertical-align: middle;"><a class="post-edit-link" href="https://wordpress.com/post/poodlesandquilts.com/1929" style="background-color: transparent; color: #b3b3b1; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">Edit<span class="screen-reader-text" style="border: 0px; clip-path: inset(50%); clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); height: 1px; left: -1000em; margin: -1px; overflow-wrap: normal !important; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: absolute; width: 1px;">"Mid-August 2021"</span></a></span></div></footer></article><article class="post-1905 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-daily-happenings category-donation-quilting category-life-at-home category-nature category-quilting category-scrap-quilts category-uncategorized" id="post-1905" style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); margin-top: 1.75em; padding-top: 1.75em; position: relative;"><header class="entry-header" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><h1 class="entry-title" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #333332; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 47px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><a href="https://poodlesandquilts.com/2021/08/02/a-rainy-monday-august-2-2021/" rel="bookmark" style="background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none; transition: opacity 0.14s ease-in-out 0s;">A Rainy Monday August 2 , 2021</a></h1></header><div class="entry-content" style="font-size: 19px; margin: 0.875em 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em; margin-top: 0px;">We have had lots of storms but most have gone around us or was just a little bit of rain.

Our plants are loving it!</p><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em;">One of our many Mandeville Vines. 2nd-our Oleander. We didn’t expect it to come back after our February freeze. 3rd-Butterfly weed is flourishing. This is just a small patch outside our fence. 4th and 5th-we didn’t know if our Pride of Barbados would make it. It was a warm Fall and winter up to the blast of Artic air so it had not died back at all. We are so happy it made it through.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.875em; padding: 0px;"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":157924347,"permalink":"https:\/\/poodlesandquilts.com\/2021\/08\/02\/a-rainy-monday-august-2-2021\/"}" style="cursor: pointer;

I had bought a template from Linda Winner’s site for wedge shape placemats for a round table.</p>Linda Winner <a href="http://winnerdesigns.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; color: #0087be; text-decoration-line: none;">http://winnerdesigns.com/</a><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em;">I started to put it away and then saw the butterfly fabric was still waiting to be put away also. Seeing as I was wanting some placemats that went with the dishes we were using I got busy! And yes, if any of our friends from our Taiwan days read this, the blue and white dishes will be back in use come September. Wanted a little something different for a change. Saw these and with Galen’s penchant for photographing butterflies and dragonflies this set of dishes was perfect for summer!</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped" style="display: flex;

Typical for us we left with the plan of going in one direction and ended up elsewhere! I think it was by choice on Galen’s part! He says no, but it did get him a new butterfly at Doe Skin Ranch. It’s part of Balcones Wildlife Preserve.</p><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em;">After leaving there we took Cow Creek Road. It’s a nice winding road that follows Cow Creek. Sometimes there isn’t much water flowing but it had some water this time. The first few times we traveled this road there was more places to stop, get out and get a better look at the creek. Now it is almost all private property. But it is still a nice drive.</p><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Along the creek is several sections there are limestone cliffs. One such place has a Raven nest. We didn’t see the nest this time. Did see the Raven further down the road. Probably heading back home! The road crosses the creek 5 times. A windy creek with a windy road!</p><p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.875em;">A few pictures of the day’s outing!</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-1864" src="https://poodlesandquilts.files.wordpress.com/2021/07/img_2616-2-2.jpg?w=1024" style="border-radius: inherit;

Plus am signed up for the Martelli re-retreat in July. It’s a 3 day retreat that lasts for close to a month. Those pop ups and extra projects start in another week! I will be busy!!! It’s a fun time. Made many friends in the last one. We have an alumni group where we keep sharing projects, cares and concerns.

I think I spent most of my time in the kitchen-cooking chicken for the girls and also cooking chicken for chicken pot pie. It was on the menu for Thursday! I like to make my own broth by cooking a whole chicken with onion, celery and some saffron. Mom always used saffron when making pot pie! I got that done on Tuesday. Meat off the bones, broth through a strainer and everything in the fridge for Thursday. The girls chicken breasts simmered with no seasonings, shredded, vacuumed sealed in small quantities in the freezer. We always add a little to their meals.

It was a hot one in our part of the world. The whole week was 100 or a little more. Think the highest was 105. Good week to stay indoors and sew. 2 weeks ago I was digging out my seasonal fabrics to see what had for the dog scarves. It was a fun weekend of sorting and pressing fabrics that I had not seen for a while. A lot of my theme fabrics had been stored away when I decided it was time to start using all those batiks I had so carefully been preserving! That was right before Dad's condition worsened. And after he died we started traveling more in the Fall and Winter. Migration time for the birds, butterflies and dragonflies along the Texas coast. This year with Covid-19 we have been home and I have been sorting, tossing, and looking at patterns for some of my fabric library. Yes, the library is extensive! I am still adding to it but only as needed or in otherwards to go with something I want to use!</p><p><br /></p><p> This is my stack of Christmas prints. All neatly pressed, folded and stacked!<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAErYwBJZizNtBhDBOFrBnIobwrigRp09OMCO7_p4HZfcz0_bq_ZqcHKpZwRkGVpfnIOaaS5WYXnAjyUQhwZLSKVLhg9VAeeecsuaLPPR7RCVqaEgWpDfRrwPvA7ijMFYdyXkX5bsblDM/s4032/20200809_222229.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAErYwBJZizNtBhDBOFrBnIobwrigRp09OMCO7_p4HZfcz0_bq_ZqcHKpZwRkGVpfnIOaaS5WYXnAjyUQhwZLSKVLhg9VAeeecsuaLPPR7RCVqaEgWpDfRrwPvA7ijMFYdyXkX5bsblDM/s640/20200809_222229.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In this picture you see Fall, Halloween and the stacks of Christmas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOv9RJdtg_9KK2TXbmw0XmPTuwyVffQA8Q-kNSimzCiW2cXVksZURGfjmwiI1_r0vkYnhA9Gr4XzmAIvn_Xm4T61GmAheMl4djgmR99rgLE6ja6hr6Vj9xKNMwEWiZpC7jb2PjMKG4i4/s4032/20200810_152605.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOv9RJdtg_9KK2TXbmw0XmPTuwyVffQA8Q-kNSimzCiW2cXVksZURGfjmwiI1_r0vkYnhA9Gr4XzmAIvn_Xm4T61GmAheMl4djgmR99rgLE6ja6hr6Vj9xKNMwEWiZpC7jb2PjMKG4i4/s640/20200810_152605.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some of the Fall fabrics are being sewn into placemats and table runners for us.

A Rufous-back Robin. Usually seen in CA. and AZ in the winter months. It is native to Mexico. With Tilly doing better we took a few days and drove to Ulvade. It is a little south west of San Antonio. Unfortunately Galen could only get his picture looking into the morning sun. But he got to see it and it is a new life bird for him.<br />

It was a beautiful spot along the Nueces River. I can imagine the people who live on that particular dirt road are wondering why there is so much traffic!<br />

Not sure how that happened! A lot of January was spent dealing with Tilly who had pneumonia. Never knew they could get it, but have discovered it is fairly common in dogs.Weekly visits to the vet for x-rays and lots of pills. Fortunately she is not as bad as Tiki when it comes to pills, but she wasn't happy about them either! About the beginning of the 3rd week she wasn't coughing near as much and was slowly returning to being Tilly!<br />
<br />
By that point in time I felt like I could go upstairs and get back to sewing. I didn't before as I would have had to block off the steps to keep her downstairs. She likes to be with me and I didn't want her to overexert herself.<br />
<br />
I had these blocks made in December but had not put them into a top. Got that done and it is back from my quilter Kerry.<br />
<br />

I found a fat quarter pack of batiks and decided to use the pattern that came with it. The pattern has you make 18 blocks so there are 2 left over. However I am going to dig through my batiks and make 2 more so the quilt top will not be square.</div>

But Tilly is recovering from it. Vet appointment last Friday as she was not sounding good and certainly not herself. Those of you who know her, she is usually full of life. Xrays and blood work pneumonia! She has been on antibiotics now and has finally turned the corner. Tomorrow is a follow up.<br />
<br />
We have been spending our time with her, or at least on the first floor. Therefore no sewing for me but we did get the downstairs back to normal! Christmas has been put away for another year. It was time but things always look so bare for a few days!<br />
<br />
Hoping that soon I can start working on the upstairs again once she is sounding better. She has her 12th birthday on Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
On a brighter note Tiki had a good yearly check up on Monday! The bright spot of the week!<br />

Early December was my last entry!<br />
<br />
December was a busy month, getting ready for the holidays, trying to get some sewing in and then we took off between Christmas and New Years. We went to Rockport for a few days hunting the Whooping Cranes and other migratory birds.<br />
<br />
Galen left for 8 days 10-18. He and Greg Lasley took off for the Texas Panhandle, into Oklahoma for a few miles and covered a lot of territory in New Mexico searching for birds. Somewhere along the Texas/Oklahoma border is Galen's cell phone. First order of business when he got home. Get a new phone.<br />
<br />

Guess I should add that to my get it done list!<br />
<br />
1-I did get all the blocks for the Irish Chain Star quilt finished and they are sewn together into rows!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometime this week I plan on getting the rows sewn together. Border may have to wait for next week!<br />
<br />
2-I also managed to sew a bunch of Kaffe blocks<br />
<br />
This week have November's to sew. Mine come at the end of the month so always a month behind.<br />
<br />
Did not get anything else on the sewing front done from last weeks list.<br />
<br />
3-Adding this week-table runner and maybe placemats!<br />
<br />
<br />
Cooking-yes to the chicken corn noodle soup. Made some was eaten and the rest in the freezer.<br />
<br />
Need to get out the dehydrator and do up more chicken snacks for our girls.<br />
<br />
4-need to finish with the Christmas decorations!<br />
<br />
That is probably enough for the week!<br />
<br />

Here we are the last month on 2018! Hard to believe!<br />
<br />
November was a busy month for us. We took off on several day trips looking for birds that were migrating through our part of Texas. And deer season started the first Saturday of the month. On the weekends Galen joined his friend in Brady I was able to stay here and sew. That is always a plus. We did have a trip planned for Rockport the week after Thanksgiving but Galen has a chance to go with another friend in early December birding in the Texas Panhandle region. We changed the dates of our trip and this past week has been spent decorating for the Christmas holidays!<br />
<br />
My sewing-finished all the blocks for the Irish Chain Stars. This is a picture of the first 5 rows on my design wall. Taken before anything was sewn together. there are 9 rows all in all. This was a block of the week posted by Debbie at Piecing the Past. This was a nice change of pace for me as lately I have been sewing with mostly fabrics from Kaffe. Totally different look!<br />
