Weave-its

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

64 degrees with some low hanging clouds again like yesterday.  Walked up one side of town, around the cemeteries and ball park loop a couple of times and then back home.

The road up to the one cemetery has corn growing on both sides and I can't see anything but corn on both sides.

A short walk of only 4 miles this morning.  Had to leave the first thing this morning for jury duty.

I found 1 penny.

Four other times I was supposed to go for jury duty but each time it was canceled, but today I actually had to go.  Not much came of it though.  Sat through the picking of the jury but I wasn't chosen and was excused.

Ken had dropped me off because he was out and about.  We decided when I got finished we were to meet at the library about a half mile away from the courthouse.  I called him when I was finished and started walking to the library and he said he'd pick me up in about 40 minutes.  Lots of Black Eyed Susan's in the library garden.

Didn't feel like sitting inside the library so went for a little walk down the street.  Snapped a couple of pictures walking along.

Ken dropped me off home and then went to help our neighbor at HT get his tractor unstuck out of the mud.

I got some laundry washed and hung up on the line and made some chicken noodle soup for my Mom and Dad.  I've already made them some Vegetable Bean Soup.  My mom likes soup a lot so thought I'd bring her some.  I've frozen the soups and will put them in a cooler when we go and visit them.  I'm also going to make some chili, chocolate chip cookies, and a lemon cake.

My friend Sherry (hairdresser) offered me one of her books to read and called and said I could pick it up so I walked there and got the book.  Before going I cut some daisies and cone flowers and made a little bouquet and put then in a mason jar to bring to her.

Also walked over to the bank.  So even though I only walked a little in the morning I ended up with walking over 6 miles anyway.  : )

I sat on the porch and finished sewing the squares for the baby blanket together.

 I think most of you know about the weave-it squares I make but for those who don't they are made on a 4 inch square weave-it loom. Yarn is put on the loom back and forth three times with enough yarn left over to weave a fourth layer back and forth with a long needle.
Here are the first squares of another baby blanket I've started on.  Baby blankets are made up of 120 squares.  I also make larger afghans using 303 squares.  My gramma taught me to make these when I was a little girl.

Hope your day is sunny and bright.
happyone : )

 A good example has twice the value of good advice.

Robin - no, we aren't putting solar panels in the cabin.  Don't think there is enough sun here and the cabin is under the trees so will get even less.
