How Should I Spend My Time?

 I'm way behind schedule today, but it's my self imposed schedule, so I guess I can blow it if I chose. 

Thursdays are good days because my PT routine is short, we have no usual commitments, and we often get up late, because we can. 

We were finally getting going when I remembered we have a 12 Man flag buried away. Tom found it and we had to get it up on the gate at the end of our driveway, where there is a chance someone besides us will see it. 

As you can see it's another blue sky day. It's Super Bowl weekend, the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl, and we count ourselves among the 12th Man contingent. 

Now Tom is outside doing more winter pruning. He is getting a lot more done than I am.
I finally got into that tub of fabrics last week and along with some I had left in my scrap bin, and some my sister gave me, I had sorted to color coordinate. I was nervous about actually sewing anything because it has been two years since I even touched my sewing machine. 

Years ago I found on-line quilt block patterns and instructions from Generations. I went back to them to relearn how to do Weathervane. It was slow going, but I did it!

With my next block I'll use more contrast, but playing with color is the fun of it all. 
I was going to be well into my next block by now, but  I still haven't started yet. I'll give it an hour before lunch time, but after lunch I have to go for a walk in the sunshine. 4:00 is when I usually quit, sit, and work my on line puzzles and catch up on emails and Facebook. Then there's dinner to prepare. 

See what I mean about spending my time?

  3. Lovely quilt square - the colors are very soft and pretty.
    That's what I enjoy about retirement, my schedule is pretty much my own. Enjoy your day!

  4. As retirees we can find lots to do but sometimes get slowed down and can't do all we want.

  5. I also have long walks here each day but it is a bit too hot for me the temperature is rising a lot 30 C in the shade I walk along the walls to get shade and there is a lot of humidity in the air. Back to France it will be freezing and snowing ( I prefer!) you made a good start with your patchwork I also haven’t touch my sewing machine for a long time.
