It's been a busy week, but I managed to peck away at Row K for Dear Jane here and there. I'll continue to do the same on the next two rows, but I think this weekend I'll work on binding Double Date which I picked up from Marie the quilter. She did a wonderful job, and I can't wait to finish it.
I missed the first Heart of Vermont guild meeting of the year, but response to my email to the guild about a round robin activity has been good. There are now six of us planning to join in. I don't know two of the people, but that will make it all the more fun. I enjoy meeting people in smaller groups, especially because that guild has 60 members. It's hard to get acquainted just at meetings.
We had a very nice time with my brother Rob and his wife Linda early in the week. We took a guided tour of the Vermont State House, visited a sugar shack for maple ice cream, visited the Vermont Granite Museum, and took several nice walks in the sunshine. Of course, meals out together and a lunch at home were fun, too. Rob is totally immersed in changing his house over to solar power and driving his new-to-them electric vehicle. The learning curve appears steep, and I'm not sure I could deal with it all.
Vermont is experiencing a drought, and our plants are all in need of soaking rain. The foliage is changing color rapidly, but I don't think it will be as vibrant as usual. Still, the visitors are beginning to come, including the tour buses. That's our "bread and butter"!
