We have not had a weekend without precipitation since December, and this weekend is no exception. It is another gloomy day, but I do plan to get out into the garage and pot up some impatients for the front stoop. Maybe I'll even transplant some houseplants that need larger pots. Everyone is tired of this gloom, but the rain does make everything look lush and pretty.
Yesterday I sewed the binding to the back of this little table runner.
It's about 10" x 20" and made of scrap purples. The focus fabric and the pattern came from the quilters auction at the state guild. My friend Tess wrote the pattern, and I bet she put the fabric in with it. I will send her a picture soon. I chose to make the smaller size, but the pattern has instructions for a larger one, and I just might make that one, too. These are just my colors.
Tonight, we are going to the opera downtown - La Traviata - put on by Opera Vermont with a soprano from Italy. We have been invited to a "meet the cast" reception beforehand which should be fun but will mean a very early dinner. And, as usual, I'm wondering how dressy it will be. Vermonters don't dress up much, so I probably could wear almost anything at all. And that's probably what will happen tonight.
In just another week we'll be heading to Colorado for a week with my mom and sister Jenny. I'm beginning to pile up things to take along. Mom's 103rd birthday is on June 27, so we're visiting early to have plenty of time with her alone. We like to spend time chatting on the back porch, so I'm taking the kawandi piece I started last weekend. She's looking forward to going to brunch at Denny's with us, and I'm sure we'll do a little sightseeing, too. Chris likes to shop at the Coors Brewery, and I have to go to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. We're hoping for sun in Golden.

I never see anyone dress up much here either. We have had a lot of rainy weather this past couple weeks and again today rain might get close to 4 more inches by the end of the week
