Saturday

It was a beautiful day yesterday, actually it has been beautiful for as long as I can remember, there may have been some rain at intervals, but what is sticking out the most for me is needing long sleeves in the evening, August evening, crazy. Paul and I went for a bike ride, we saw the waterfalls in Dumbo. Then we decided to take some photos.

Paul got a haircut. Funny, he wanted a flattop and the guy misunderstood the request for 1 1/2 inches of hair left on top. But I think he looks handsome. Maybe I'm biased.
Once a year there is a "car show (off)" underneath the BQE, right next to where Paul used to live, classic cars, tattoos and black leather. Fun to look at. Especially this Elvis car.

Too Long Between Posts

I know, I know, why haven't I been posting since I usually have so much to say? Hee, hee...anyways, this past week has been a doozie I had a cold and had to go home early on Tuesday. It may have had something to do with going to Cooperstown over the weekend. Leaving after work on Friday, getting to camp around 11:00pm and then waking up and going to a Belgian Beer Festival at Ommegang then camping overnight and just relaxing back at camp Sunday and Monday. Or could it have to do with Paul having a cold and just passing it on to me?
While at camp I discovered some beautiful quilts, hand quilted quilts in the closet (yes I'm a snoop). Pictured below is my favorite quilt that I found. It looks like a mixture of clothing and some store bought cottons. Does anyone know who made this?


I am inspired to hand quilt a block just like this, I love the strips and plaids with the red and turquise. Fun.

I was extra excited to discover some puzzles and proceeded to put together this one which if you enlarge or look really closely are cool antique-y buttons. I recently surrendered to a Simpson's puzzle at home, it was just too hard :(

And on the home front...garden is still going good. We have had about 3 zucchini that have gotten this large, which makes about two loaves of bread. The tomatoes are going berzerker so we are saving up for sauce. Having a garden is pretty awesome. I highly recommend it.
