In Portland, the winter weather reports use two descriptions (in addition to rain). They are dry spells and sun breaks. Well, today, we had both, and it was greatly appreciated.
I awakened, after a restful sleep, feeling much better than I did yesterday. I sandwiched my last table runner with fusible batting. I have been able to use up some odds and ends of batting for these projects. I took a short walk in the morning with Mr C and Maggie. Mr C left to help cook and serve a holiday meal to the residents of a low-income housing project near our church. This afternoon, I quilted the runner and attached the binding. I am still hand stitching the binding so photos will have to wait.
Since it was so beautiful late this afternoon, I grabbed my camera, a bag of corn for the ducks and Maggie and headed for the Rhodie Garden.
Here are some photos of the sunsetting over the Crystal Springs Reservoir.
The ducks were happy to see us.
I love this silhouette of a Cormorant, perched on a log.
We even saw the moon rising.
So, I spent a very relaxing day, totally ignoring the Holiday frenzy that still awaits me.
Oh what pretty pictures. It looks so peaceful and quiet. Good luck with the wreck situation. I hope the lady owns up to her responsibility and does the right thing.
I’m really thankful to hear that you’re feeling better than you did yesterday…but still take it easy, okay?
Love the light and dark in your photos.
We always hit the Rhody Garden in the morning or early afternoon, so it’s a treat to see your sunset pictures. I’m glad you’re feeling better, too.
happy to hear you’re sounding better. What a lovely day out. So very pretty.
Lovely photos. Yesterday was so nice. I was driving all over and kept noticing the silhouettes of trees against the pinkish sky–just like your photos. I noticed the winter moon quite early in the afternoon. Glad you are feeling better
Glad you are feeling better.
I see some quilt inspirations in some of those pics!
Take care.
