calm

Small Mister is off with his Daddy and I have a chance to work on the quilt without a small boy sitting on my feet.  He is helping me treadle.  When my spinning wheel gets pulled out, he yells "spinning wheel!" and also helps me treadle.  But that one he can sit on my lap.  It is really much easier to not having the small boy helping with the treadle but the joy level does go down.  I find the quilting very meditative but I have three dress wandering through my head that I wish to make.  It will all happen.

I did spend time in the garden this morning until I started to hurt.  I had to ask my Beloved to help with the cleanup.  I have more flowers this year which makes me happy.  I gave away a squash yesterday and we had greens from the garden the day before.  We may not eat as much this year but I am enjoying the flowers so.  I am trying many more zinnias this year.  I like the colors.  I still have cosmos and blanket flowers.  A yellow flower that I cannot spell.  Salvia and amaranth are popping up all over.  My Beloved puts the amaranth leaves in his smoothie. 

The flowers just make me smile.  I missed having so many last year. 

I hope I did not overdo today so I can do more tomorrow.
