There is a touch of fall in the air which isn't unusual. Years ago (40+), I lived in the country at about 2500 feet, and we often had a bit of frost around Labor Day. Those days are gone, but it is quite cool in the mornings anyway. Today's fog will burn off to a sunny, lovely day, I'm sure. When it warms up a bit, I will do a little gardening in the back yard.
Chris is coming over later to help me dig out some hostas that encroaching on the blueberries. We'll grill burgers for lunch. Yesterday I pulled out a lot of lilies of the valley that were choking other things out front. I left a few because I like them, but I need to stay on top of them every year. I have ordered more daffodil bulbs for that spot, but they haven't arrived yet. I decided not to try any more tulips out front since the deer just won't leave them alone. They haven't discovered the early blooming ones out back, thank goodness.
I hope to get back to Dear Jane in the coming week. I have made five blocks and find Row J a little easier than Row I which is a relief. That's the next block I need to make - J-6 - which should be easy. The photo is from the Hobby Stash website where I get my paper piecing patterns.
I was running low on black/white prints for backgrounds, so just ordered another yard of pin dots and also picked up two other half yards at the quilt shop. This quilt takes a lot of fabric, especially when one makes most of the blocks by paper piecing.

I love tulips but I have stopped planting them because I rarely get flowers the second year - occasionally but not even to waste my money or time planting them. Almost time to start getting some fall weather here which according to the weather they say might come a little early this year.
