summer

well, even though summer is not officially here yet, today was the first day that it was warm and humid. we had a long, stressful work week and then had a long stressful family visit friday and saturday (not because of family, but because of circumstances). sunday was a much needed lazy day. i slept in until 9:30 and then got up for breakfast. i gave brett a haircut that was about 5 weeks overdue, showered, ate lunch, tested out some mattresses, grocery shopped, and had a snack. for the rest of the afternoon i cut out my quilt squares so that i can start sewing my 9 patch blocks. i'm looking forward to feeling like i accomplished something when putting together the blocks. doing 1 each night seems like it will feel substaintial and less time consuming like the rows in my past quilts. we ate hotdogs and corn on the cob for supper. now it's time to relax before going to bed early. oh yeah, i finally got my dahlias in the ground. only 2 of the 4 i ordered this year germinated but i'm really happy with my pots this year so i think that will be ok. and a bowl of summer cherries from the grocery store.
