Some like it hot

Sunday, January 8th, 2006

This second eye catching shirt more accurately reflected yesterday’s temperature !
When he approached our table, I was able to confirm it is a polyester fabric, which I find too sticky to wear when it is hot and humid, but he looked pretty cool. This lottery ticket man is always there, selling or attempting to sell lottery tickets.

Yesterday for the first time I actually saw someone buy one. but he must sell enough day after day to make it worth his while. Posted by Picasa

Quilt for grandson #3 completed

And just in time for next week’s visit.
Machine pieced and machine quilted, for durability and washability when absolutely necessary. It features bright kiddy prints and others, plus hand dyed fabric frames around each block, and a thanksgiving-harvest theme print on the back. Posted by Picasa

Mind blowing, and makes me think the builder MIGHT have first dibs on all properties around him with plans to buy them up and raze them as they become available …. forming the parkland setting this screams out for – but a decent storm might take care of the ‘ruins’ before that is achieved.
I JUST LOVE IT !!! Posted by Picasa

Intriguing Fence

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

Near Punta Ballena, on the tourist resort SE coast of Uruguay is this wonderful fence I have previously admired, and in the last week I had my camera with me and was able to stop and photgraph it.
I know fences need to go up hill and down dale at times, and other times the landholder will do some earthwork along the fenceline to make a fence and land ‘fit’ better for easier construction. This one has always had a laborious character, IMHO, enhanced by having painted it white ….. Posted by Picasa

……….and when I entered the pics into the computer, I found what it had been telling me all along – that I have already pre-interpreted this kind of thing in stitch: there’s a message here I need to act on, soon. Posted by Picasa
