168 days of self quarantine

 When I typed that number it felt like it had some significance.  After thinking about it awhile, it comes to me that my pager number at the Brewery was 81-068 for a number of years.  It is still embedded in my brain.  Funny how that works.  Today I had a Rose Breasted Nuthatch at the feeder, the last time he was here was one year ago tomorrow.  Those little birds have such precise calendars for their migrations.  Funny how that works.

Today I had my first visitor, other than the plumber a month or so ago.  Nephew Kyle came with some bank papers for me to sign.  We sat outside, wore our masks and stayed 6 feet apart.  It was quite pleasant to have a little chat, I have missed seeing him and his family.

I sewed up some more cloth napkins, keeping a few sets on hand for gifts.  I think I have a couple of ideas for who might like to have a set.  I have never used a paper napkin in my house since I sewed my first set at quilt camp about 3 years ago.

More Morning Glory flowers today.

So pretty.

As part of my responsibilities as a board member for our local library, I am asked to participate in Trustee Training annually.  Today's session was so timely and well done.  There was so much information given that I will watch this one again.  

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion: What Library Trustees Need to Know 

and the presenter was excellent.  

A couple of resources she recommended are on the screen below.  She suggested a study at Project Implicit examine your attitudes, preferences and memory.  I'm taking the test tonight and I'll let you know what I learn.

I started a little project kit that I had picked up in some quilt shop a while ago.  It is a pumpkin and is to end up a placemat, I'm planning to adjust the pattern slightly and made a runner instead.  It is fun to do a small project like this from time to time.  I'll update as I make progress.

I ran across this picture of Dad from 10 years ago.  We were on the ferry to Madeline Island out of Bayfield, WI.  He loved this hat and this was such a fun day.  

My niece Erin sent me this photo of her boys from today, 

2020-1st day back to school.

They are really changing.

And talk about changing, Erin has been an Elementary Art teacher her whole teaching career and this year, because of Covid needs, she is teaching 2nd Grade.  It can't be easy to make a major change like that, but I loved that she said, at first she was sad, but then she realized she just needed to do what was best for the kids. 💗💗💗
