Here is Block Q of my Gardener's Alphabet. I was surprised to see I had completed the butterfly thinking I had left all bees and butterflies till the end. I wanted to stitch them together and enjoy that final touch. I like how there are so many bees throughout the project highlighting their importance in any garden. I was so happy to read recently that scientists think they know now why so many bees have died in recent years. I am carefully eyeing each of these blocks as I photograph them; amazing how much can be overlooked, a leaf here or a stem there that got missed during the initial sewing.
Back to trying to clean up my diet this week. I'm usually pretty good but strayed a little with a few restaurant meals and outings (doesn't take much!) in recent weeks; there is just too much tasty food around! I'm sipping water with lemon slices and ice cubes and keeping the evening meal simple.
I should tell you about a restaurant hubby and I went to last week. It is a Thai Buffet but with a difference. You order from a menu and they bring the food to you. If you don't eat all of the dish you can be charged extra. Each dish is a single serving size and the food was wonderful. I had suishi, coconut shrimp skewers, calamari, seaweed salad, salmon, and hot and sour soup. It sounds like a lot but really the servings were small. Oh yes, I did have the fried banana and ice cream for dessert, again very small pieces, I swear. This is making me hungry thinking of it as I write, yikes.
