morning ladies 
We have a nice calm start to the day. A few rain clouds hovering but there are some traces of blue sky. Hopefully we are over the worst.
One of my sisters-in-law sent us a photo of some mushrooms picked off their lawn yesterday. All this rain and humidity is good for something!
lol Jan, I could just imagine that cow being chased. And ending up at KFC is a hoot. I could just imagine what the police were saying lol.
MrK and I were talking about the dark colours houses in new suburbs are being painted and he thinks there could be covenants on these areas. He remembered when his sisters went halves in a house, there was a covenant on what trees could be planted.
Yesterday I sewed some blocks for a quilt I had cut out over the winter. I had used an old pram lace cover from when my sister and I were babies and an old tablecloth I bought from Hospice. I had hand tacked the lace to some leftover satin used for a wedding dress, so I knew it was going to 'fun' to sew. I think the vintage lace was also left over from a wedding dress my grandmother sewed as she was the local seamstress. Now I need a dark contrasting colour so will keep an eye out for something I can reuse. My plan is to give it to our daughter for Christmas.
While the day is calm and dry, the plan is to weed some of the garden. The convolvulus grows a mile a minute and is strangling some lilies. Since the paddocks have been turned into maize, the convolvulus has found easy access to the garden. And of course, more concrete fill will go into the bin once I have a nice 'cushion' of weeds in its bottom.
Happy crafting
