In case you don't know, chickens are not impressed by rain. And they are not deterred by muddy ground. They simply do not care. They are going to have chicken fun anyway! They make me laugh.
Meanwhile, back inside where it's dry I finished this quilt for a friend of mine. It came together easily. I like all the fabrics on the front, and the backing is a super soft flannel, and don't you love that antiqued red and white stripe for the binding!
This sweet little quilt is made from leftovers from the Hexagon quilt I made recently for our son. This one went to the Children's Church where we attend the grown up church. It is all flannel, and the kids really enjoy, so I'm told, sitting on the quilts I give them during story time.
This is Dinah. We brought her home to our daughter Ruthie as a very small kitten in 2014. She really gave Miss Ru a reason to keep trying, and for that she will have a home here as long as she wants to stay.
And lest you think this will be a post without Buddy, no. Here he is also living such a hard life! LOL! He's my boy!
This is the same crochet doily she is sitting calmly on in the first picture. Here? She has no idea how that happened to the crochet and frankly, doesn't want to be questioned about it.
And lest you think this will be a post without Buddy, no. Here he is also living such a hard life! LOL! He's my boy!
If you've stayed through all this rambling, I congratulate you! It is still raining outside and a little visit with blog friends seemed like a very good idea.
I hope all is well in your world. It is still a good life and I am thankful to the Lord for allowing me to live it.
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine

Kids love to spread out a quilt and sit on it. It makes their story time special.
Another person in TX said they had rain too. I'm glad to hear that so early in the growing season.
It is good to hear that you are getting a spot of rain. It does sound like a lovely day to stay in and quilt. It was such a joy to see your chickens. Oh and I had to giggle about Miss Dinah not wanting to be questioned about the doily . Aaw sweet , Buddy. He is living the life. It was a joy to visit you today, Elaine. Have a blessed day.
Your chickens would love everything that is stirred up by the rain. The birds here love it when we dig up the garden as they then get in and hunt for bugs.
Your garden will also be very happy with the rain.
Lovely finishes for both quilts. What a great idea for the children to have the quilts to sit on.
Lovely to see your pets enjoying themselves.
