Easy Hexagon Quilt Beginnings, Other Enjoyments

 While Tony had put in his order for beans on toast, sausage on the side, I really didn't know what I wanted. I'm the cook of course, so I could get myself the same or anything if it's here in the fridge/cupboard to be found. But nothing was appealing to me and staring into the fridge didn't help. Does that ever happen to you? In the end I made a large cup of tea and had a bowl of yogurt and fruit with a slice of marmalade sourdough toast. I know...a bit boring mainly because I eat so much of this. Do you have a go to kind of simple quick meal in times like that? Thanking you in advance for suggestions...you were so good with the snack recommendations before. 

Here are some things that are not boring that I am enjoying. 

I read this book and liked it. Beth is reading it now.

I decided to make an Easy Hexagon Quilt out of those aqua fabrics I showed you.  I'm done the quilting on Book Club. That's in the sewing room awaiting binding which I hope to get to this week so I began a few hexagons. These are such bright happy colours to work with. More next time about this and the free pattern I'm using.

This used to be our band-aid container till I bought a fancy new one. I love old tins! 

While cleaning the windows outside, I noticed I could see the old and the new through it. Hydrangeas dried and in a vase from maybe my second summer here when I'd read you could do that... still looking good, and the ever growing larger English Ivy brought from the farm. Looking very healthy thanks to the sunshine of summer.  As you can probably tell, I take a lot of satisfaction in trying to grow things...emphasis on the trying.

 And old me... hair still with a life of its own...hmm, maybe this is what my white hair will be like from now on. You can see my kitchen window view there behind me; this time of year the greens surround this house. Do you think the colour of the hydrangeas could be called saffron?

I've changed up the order of my early morning activities.  I'm now having my swim before the walk. It's better to get it done early I've found as things come up some days and then I feel pushed to fit it in. The birds join me...the hawk I glimpse in the back field from time to time flew low above me one morning. What a treat!  Ned joins me-such a quiet fellow-doesn't bark or make a sound. Just lies down (he's a dog that will always choose lying down over sitting), contemplating his life; hope he thinks it's a good one. I certainly do.

And I hope your holiday weekend has gone well too.
