And Then There Was Sun

I know we need the rain. But maybe it could come, rain and then leave!

It has rained, been overcast and fairly cool all week long, since the boat came.

We knew we were taking a chance by having the boat come so early in May, but we hoped...

We were wrong!

And then finally, this afternoon, the sun made its appearance.  With it has come some strong winds and cool temperatures, but it is sunny. 

The sunset this evening is lovely, especially after this cloudy week.

The picture does not do it justice, but it does show the sun sinking behind the trees.

I will take it.

There are some nasty weather events going on today, so I know I cannot complain.  I am grateful for the sun, as well as the rain, but especially for the sun on this Mother's Day 2016.

Good thoughts for those in Colorado after today's tornadoes and those in Alberta Canada dealing with wildfires.  May their weather events turn into better weather for them, both rain and sun where needed.

I am off to finish some blocks which are slowly working their way towards quilt tops.  

One group of blocks has 16 out of the needed 25.  

Please excuse the wrinkles! These need to be pressed still!

Another set has 18 of the needed 36. 

Finally the last set will be complete with the finishing of three blocks.  

I intermix the blocks because making the same block over and over again can be so monotonous for me and usually indicates the making of another UFO.  This way the blocks usually get finished, even though it may take a bit longer.

Again Happy Mother's Day!
