this weekend was quite un-fall like weather. portland broke its heat record yesterday, 81 set in 1909 actual was 84. we went to the beach and it was actually hot there. later in the afternoon it was just perfect except the sun set way too quick for my liking. plenty of cars in the parking lot and people in the water. don't imagine we'll get any more swimming weather this year; this weekend was a gift. ***** i got quite a bit of sewing done, not the least of which was to finish these red/cream northwind blocks. now i can get the rows assembled and finish the top. someday soon i'm going to have to have a basting day with 3 quilts to baste. **** our foliage is at about 30% right now; it's tough to say for certain due to the glut of pine trees in the area, but there are plenty of trees left that
haven't yet turned to gold/red/rust. lots of the young trees are bare but mature trees are still in summer mode.....like everyone i guess. ****

Wow, balmy day at the beach, however short it may have been!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the blocks for Northwind. That has got to feel good. Looking forward to seeing the assembled top.
The red/cream block are beautiful.
