Three hummingbirds were chasing around the feeder this morning. Fun to watch. As for watching, we watched “The Bachelorette” last night. Bill said it was the season finale but it wasn’t. There are two more, I think, because last night was the one where she went to visit the families of four of the guys. After that Bill wanted to watch one episode of “Magnum” before we hit the sack. We didn’t realize the one we started was a two parter which they rolled into one and it was one o’clock by time it finished.
I wrote up the “bio” to send in to the publishers for the “One Skein” wonder book in which my pattern will appear. Today has been a nice summery day, but not too hot. I guess the hot part is coming over the next several days. I made five quilted bibs this afternoon. Now I have to find the bias binding I bought to finish them! As I wrote that it suddenly occurred to me to look under the pile on the cutting table and there was the bag from my last shopping trip to Joann Fabric with the bindings!
I watched a couple more episodes of the “Monarch of the Glen” while the bibs were stitching out. I knit on the baby blanket while watching the show. I came back out front around four o’clock. We watched a bit of the news and then resumed the “Magnum” series. We took a break to fix some dinner. We watched a couple more episodes and then had another break for dessert. Bill is watching a documentary at the moment so that I can relate my news for the day, such as it is.
I glanced out the window this afternoon when I was embroidering and a hummingbird was hovering outside the window looking in. When I came out here to the dining room table for something, I noticed that the hummingbird feeder was nearly bone dry. Bill fetched it and I put a full load of juice in it this time.
Oh yes, I picked up the sweater I knit for my sister that didn’t get finished for last Christmas. I finished the knitting awhile back but hadn’t put the buttons on. Then I decided I’d send it for her August 17 birthday. Well, faith and begorrah, I laid the sweater out on the bed to measure it and discovered that it is only 44 inches wide when buttoned, not 48 like I thought I was doing. Thank goodness I didn’t send it without checking. Now I’ll have to find someone who can use it as soon as I get the buttons sewn on. I want to get that done and out of here, and now I have to come up with Plan 2 for Linda’s birthday.
My other big excitement for the day was calling to schedule a mammogram and my first bone density test. Those will be done on July 1 and then I’ll have my “female” exam on July 9. A fun month, eh? Now we can get back to “Magnum” and my blanket knitting. I’m about ready to join the last skein of yarn. When this one is done I would like to resume work on the pretty green one I’m doing for Ellen’s Christmas present and it uses the needles I’ve been using on the Baby Clouds blankets.
My nose has given me a fit since noon so a Benadryl will be in order when I go to bed tonight. Sigh….
The apostle Peter told us that in the last days scoffers would say of Jesus’ return: “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:4). Scoffers are with us today, just as Peter warned. Are you among them? Or are you ready for the Lord Jesus to return? Ignoring these signs is even more dangerous than living in the shadow of the Fire Mountain. — C. P. Hia
Signs of His coming multiply,
Morning light breaks in eastern sky;
Watch, for the time is drawing nigh—
What if it were today? —Morris
