SUNDAY'S HERE--

Like-- I said before--
Sunday's like to roll around about every 7 days!!!!

Think we are still back at Easter though for this weeks update!!
On the Inchies--
and as I said--Easter here is very quiet--

Monday--
was for the daffodils that are in bloom this week--
ours here seem to be only the white ones--but still beautiful--
and some other spring flowers--
purple ones --
and some lovely pink ones--

and some yellow--
and even this one-
and some grey ones--
silly --di--that is a squirrel not a flower!!!!

Tuesday--
called for a little nap in the afternoon--
I try very hard not to nap during the day--
I can go to bed and go to sleep with in 1 to 10 minutes--
and even though I have to get up in the night to go visit the lady's room-
I can go right back to sleep when I get back into bed--
but--
something happened during the early morning hours of Tuesday--
first time was around 3 am--a bad panic attack woke me up-
was able to get back to sleep--but had another one at 4:30 and there was
not alot of sleeping after that--
so I did have Anne come for our Tues morning get together--
but mid afternoon there was no hope for me--except a short nap!!!

Wednesday--
was a big day for me 51 years ago--
as I gave birth to my daughter, Dawn--
Where does the years go???

Thursday--
as I sat stitching and watching out the window--
I seen my first butterfly of the spring season fly by--
it was just a white one--but still pretty to watch--

Friday-
the last 3 days had been pants day--really--
an order I did came in the mail--on Wednesday--
the light blue pair on the right hand side--
and on Thursday a friend and I made a quick trip into Elmira--
she needed to go to K hols and I needed a couple things at the bigger
Walmart--and those navy blue pants jumped into my cart--
and on Friday when I went to our walmart to walk--
those tan ones--which are the same as the navy blue ones--
which are all capris--not pants!!!
jumped into the cart--
I have not decided if I am keeping them all or not--
they are all cotton --
and cotton gets harder and harder to find--
the light blue ones have a too tight and too wide elastic in them--
that can be fixed--the other two are cotton and spandex--which I love!!
and I can get them on and zip and button them and even sit down in them--
though it wouldn't hurt to lose a couple more pounds --
which I am working on--
the best news of all--all 3 of these are 2 sizes smaller than when I got to NY!!!

Last weeks worth of inchies-
and yes--I did stitch the daffodil at an angle--
I will fix it--
(maybe??)


For slow stitching

this is what I am working on--



I have gotten more done on this--
but forgot to do an updated photo--
bad, di!!!

And for
I  stitched every day last week--
and in fact every day this year so far--
that is 118 days so far!!!

Oh--that's all for today--all you wonderful people out there--

HAVE A GREAT AND WONDERFUL WEEK WITH THOSE WHO LOVE YOU--

SO WHAT IS IT???

What is that funny looking thing
that you got in your Easter Basket--di????

Hummm???
Nope still not helping--
Ahhhh--that is better--
It is a collapsible funnel--
and it has a larger funnel end on it thaN the one I have had for years--
this one will be nice when I go to dump the bag of bird food into my larger
(reused) gallon water bottle!!
and I am sure I will find some other uses for it too!!!
and then when I am done using it and washing it--
it collapses back into itself for storage!!!

---I am watching the squirrel out the window--
the smaller birds like this tiny seed--so I mix sunflower seeds in with it for the squirrel--
and I put some in the bend of the tree--the squirrel got up there earlier and ate all the larger
seed--but now everytime he sees a smaller bird there--he has to jump up there to see if he
is missing anything--seeeds--piggy silly squirrel!!!

And I got the last 2 hand piecing blocks finished--
a green one--
can you tell that the flower in the center block looks like a tulip???


and a blue one--
Here is all 9 of mine--
I can say--Bright--colorful---!!!!!

and here is where --
well--where I was yesterday on the new cross stitching I am doing--
as I got a bit more done on this this morning!!

and the most exciting news for today is-----
the Sun decided to shine this afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVE A WONDERFUL LOVE FILLED DAY--

SUNDAY--EASTER AND--

time for a bit of  'catch up' on the week--

now let me see--
On Thursday--
I did walk over to the yarn shop and sat and visited with my friend Sue--
who works there and yes--
I did pet some yarn--
but walked out with out any--this time!!!!!

Ohh--wait think I for got about Wednesday-
that was the day that Anne came this week--
we took a little trip up the hill aways to the cemetery--
to check on some grave sites--
I took a wood cross with purple silk flowers to leave there on my parents site--
My Mom passed in 1996
My Dad passed in 2000
and now lil sister, Barbara in 2019--
so that was Wednesday's Inchy--

On--
Friday--
I went to Walmart--
and had bought a new bird feeder and hung it up--
I made sure that the top 2 holes where large so the squirrel could get  food--
but--my 'squirrel'--
was a very bad squirrel and actually broke off large pieces of the plastic to get to the food--
soooo--
that got taken down--guess I will only feed them on the ground from now on!!!
Can you make out all the little birds there too!!
( it was funny watching them--the squirrel doesn't mine the little birds--
but when some larger black birds came he kinda jumped a bit at them and
they got scared and flew off--then back to eating everyone went!!)

I had also gotten a 6-pk of tiny white flowers to plant in the barrel--
and got that done--
really makes a difference when I look out the window now!!! 

Saturday's Inchy is a-
 basket of colored eggs--
I had 5 eggs--and a coloring kit--
so I did just 5 eggs--
I really like coloring eggs every year--
I guess I will always be a kid at heart --at least at Easter time--
now if someone would just hide some eggs for me to find--with money in them--
I would be outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On my door today--
I found a bag and in it was this basket--
It was from a tenant in here--
and the really funny part is--
I found it hanging on my door when I went out to hang one on her door!!!!
In side the basket was--
She knows I don't eat alot of sweets--
Can you guess what that pink and white thing is beside the card?????
I will tell you and show you more tomorrow--
I also have some stitching finishes to show you then--

But as today is an important day--
and a day to remember this--
I will leave you all with this--

TOOK THE ---

big girl camera--
for a walk on Tuesday--
and 'she' got sooo excited--
you see 'she' had not been on a walk in a very long time--
so 'she' kept snapping one photo after another--
and now 'she' wants to share of them with you---

First 'she' seen and heard this flying saucer--


in the parking lot by the lake-
oh--that's not a flying saucer--that is just a drone, di!!!!!
and it was being flown by these '3'!!!

then at the end of the lake--
'she' seen a new duck--
an American Coot
first time I seen one on Seneca lake--
and I believe I seen them here all winter--
did not seen any other ducks and that surprised me!!

this is what it looks like with 'no' sail boats in the water yet--


The lake was calm so it was a good day to get lots of photos of reflections--


See the little flags reflected in the water from the top of the large ship!!


and some really neat blue flowers at the end of pier,
 just before walking onto the pier!!
at the mid point on the pier--
And I love this bell--I want to go down there on that pier --
and ring that bell!!!
And the large Harbor Hotel reflected in the water--
soon this whole area will be filled with sail boats!!

Hope you enjoyed out little walk today--
think Spring is really coming to NY!!!

PLEASE TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM TODAY--
EVEN IF IT IS THE DOG/CAT!!!!!
LUV, DI
