since I've been home

 We spent most of a week recuperating from colds.  Yesterday, Kyle went back to work, and I decided to make a stab at sewing down some of the stash.  I have boxes of fabric stacked up on my workroom floor and it looks like a shot from "Hoarders."  I have to edge between the piles.

So, with no plan in mind, I grabbed the first fabric that came to hand, and got started.  Thank you Lynn, Benita, and Wanietta. Do you recognize your contributions?  A light, warm comforter for some cold orphans somewhere.  Mexico City or Romania or maybe in Africa.  It brightens my eyes to play with colors and patterns.

Monday was Weight Watchers and I was so grateful for the feeling of accountability I took on the trip.  I'm up one eight of a pound.  Warm Chocolate melting cake, a couple of cocktails, even a few glasses of wine.  I managed to enjoy my cruise and still hold the line on the weight.

Today was another gorgeous spring day in Portland.  I was up on the campus of Clackamas Community College where they have a splendid horticultural Department.  There is a venerable Wisteria in front of the Community Center and it delights me more every year.  Thought I would share some of the delight with you.
