When it was time for our evening walk it was raining and thundering. Quite odd because the sun was shining brightly all around. When it had dried off a bit it was 7pm and almost dark. As we stepped out the door I looked up to see a Space X rocket rising in the NW; Vandenberg Space Force Base with a payload of satellites. It is a wonderous sight and each launch leaves a different, but awesome contrail.

Quilts by Del Thomas 03-16-24
Just looking through my photos for a picture of something else, I noticed these images that I am sure I have never posted. They are all original designs, machine pieced, machine quilted. In 2007 I belonged to a fiber postcard exchange group and was really into doing these little jewels. I may have a couple in my storage somewhere, but most were exchanged or sold.

Spring Weather 03-15-24
Spring weather can be rather surprising here - maybe everywhere. We started on our evening walk about 6pm and had light sprinkles. But in half a block they stopped so we went on walking. Then the sky straight up was a lovely clear blue. Temp about 60F.

Friday Food 03-08-24
While in SDiego I stayed in Air B&B with Pat Pauly, the teacher, so we ate breakfast at the house and sometimes dinner also. We shopped at the local Von's Grocery where I found these "mixed" eggs.
A full dozen from a local supplier. They are not graded and come with all different sizes.

More Rain. 03-06-24
Pretty boring when all I can think to talk about is the weather. However, I look back at blogs from previous March postings and guess this is just not an interesting time of year. In my life it has been a time of loss as so many people I love have died in the first few months of the year. The dreary weather doesn't bring joy and happiness.

Still with me? 03-01-24
A plethora of problems this last week, but I had a computer guru come to the house this evening and he was able to get me back to my normal screen, rearranging things so it will hopefully be useable. I am going to SDiego tomorrow for the Art Stream meeting and I must go to bed to be up at 6:30! But I hope you will stick with me while I get back to blogging.
