I like the new pope, Leo  XIV.

We have continued to with the rain this month.  I think about 8 inches fell in May so far.  Our area of the valley has gone from drought to "abnormally dry"...we'll take it!  Now I'm just hoping to get out in the garden and get some work done!

The rain meant Lucky and I were often wet and I went though shoes and socks like crazy.  Still, I worked on my sewing and that was fun.

I am hoping you have a wonderful and happy day!

I like rain!  

We are experiencing drought here in Pennsylvania so it's been wonderful to have a few days in a row with some rain!  The plants in my garden have grown about a foot since it started!

 So I've been mostly sewing for the last few days and cleaning up the sewing room.  I found this quote which I love.  I have a lot of projects at any time, do you?

The older we get, the more our energy levels become important!

LeeAnna asked us to share about our experiences on bicycles.  Yes I had one as a kid and we rode it a lot.  I had baskets on my bike...not for me but for me to go grocery shopping for my mother.  I've never been on a tandem bike (2 person bike) and never was intrigued with that idea.  There were a ton of kids in our neighborhood but I don't remember us doing anything but going from here to there with our bikes.

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!

I like Thursay: May 1, 2025

 

Hello and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursday" hosted by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color!

It's May--my favorite month of the year!  Even if it is cool overnight or in the morning, I don't have to worry about snow or ice.  The flowers are beginning to slowly bloom and Lucky is happy to see all his dog friends out on walks.

After Lucky's latest haircut, he decided to donate his bee scarf for a project for Molly.  Molly lives down the street and is a beekeeper.  When he sees her or her husband, he doesn't even care about other dogs in the vicinity, he just wants their attention.  So we made this table topper for Molly for Easter with the bee fabric in the center:

I like making these quilt as you go hexies.  Okay, I may be a bit obsessed with making them.  I'm using up a lot of fabrics from my scrap drawer and I enjoy sewing them while we watch the Phillies.  This project also allows me to practice three different stitches and I'm seeing some slight improvement in my hand sewing as I finish projects.

Lana's prompt for today is SALADS!  It is salad time here!  I love any kind of chicken salad and this Asian Ramen Chicken is my favorite.  One change is that our recipe has water chestnuts and grapes.  My husband doesn't like fruit in main courses so I always hold off on the fruit.  Also, after many years of trying different types of lettuce we decided we simply like iceberg lettuce.  It may seem a bit boring but it is rarely recalled and ultimately we like the crunch it has.  Do you have a favorite lettuce?

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!
