Hitting the Road

 

As promised, yesterday was a decent day. It was cooler and it rained on and off. My kind of weather. Since I usually spin in the morning watching the Tour, I packed up my drop spindle as we headed out to get that tile we needed. I discovered travel spinning is a good thing. I went through almost all the fiber I had brought with me. 

The store was practically empty and since we had driven all that way for just a few pieces of tile I decided to do some browsing much to Pup's dismay. I came home with a new 50 foot hose and three pairs of garden gloves. 

Since Pup had been cooped up all week we took a detour to the water on the way home and let her walk while I finished up the last of that fiber. It was good to be outside again. While I was inside all week hiding from the heat there must have been an explosion of baby ducks. They were everywhere but wouldn't stand still long enough for me to get a photo. 

And....the night before I had braved the heat for an emergency run down to Joanne's. This is what I found. Empty shelves where there used to be lots and lots of quilting fabric. I haven't been in a Joanne's since before the pandemic and I was so disappointed. Dad and I used to spend hours in here picking out fabric for his projects. I came home empty handed and had to go online to get what I needed. They did have plenty of Halloween decor. I suppose Joanne's is going the way of Micheal's and becoming a home decor shop. Skellys they had. Lots and lots and lots of very expensive Skellys.
