We’re going to have a visitor! Cop Car is making the trek from Kansas to be with us for a week or so. We’ve had the chance to meet, but this will be our first long-term visit.
We share a lot of interests. Cop Car is a quilter, and we have traded fabrics over the last year. I’ve been working on a series of wallhangings from that fabric, and I can’t wait to show them to her. I’d be very happy to quilt with her all day long, but we have WAY too many other things we hope to do, including a trip to our favorite quilt shop!
If you’ve read here in the past, you know that I’m generally mired in weeds during the warm months. My gardens were in the best shape ever this spring, and then I hurt my knee. I’m just getting back into the gardens to pull weeds, so they have a two month head start on me. It’s probably just as well that we haven’t had a lot of rain! Did you catch where Cop Car says she’s bringing her WEEDING CLOTHES??? YEA!!! I might even learn the names of some of those miserable plants.
We have a bird feeder just outside the kitchen window. CC is going to check out our birds so that she can tell me what visits. We have a huge flock of sparrows that flit around so fast that I can’t tell which species we are seeing. It’s always nice to have a specialist on staff. *G*
Cop Car has also graciously offered to help us make chili sauce. This has been an annual activity here, but it’s more than I can do on my own. In the past Elegante Mother and I have worked together, but as she nears 90, it’s becoming a bit too much for her to do. I hope to take CC to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, to pick up the produce we need. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get the jars I need tomorrow.
I have no doubt that our days will be tightly packed, and that we will sleep well at night. It’s wonderful that we have this chance to spend time together.
