Happy Birthday, Mr. Aitch!

Friends invited us for drinks and a mini birthday celebration for Mr. Aitch Thursday evening. We sat around their firepit sipping wine. We also had some snacks and a homemade cherry pie.

what I’m reading

I had a few pieces of Dove chocolates after dinner this week and liked this one saying on the inside wrapper.

what I’m loving

I forgot to include this one last week…

what I saw on my walk

Since the weather is changing and not so hot, Pepper and I started walking around our neighborhood again this week. Several of my neighbors walk in the evenings but I prefer the cooler mornings. We used to walk two miles before it got too hot and humid. It’s almost like starting over since both of us are a bit out of shape so we’re only walking a little over a mile.

I saw this “tree” in a wooded area and had to find out what it was. I had never seen such broad leaves that were almost 2-feet across! The plant ID app on my phone identified it as a Foxglove Tree. I’ll have to keep an eye on it next spring to see if it blooms

what I’m working on

I made a Carry-All Caddy last month as a prototype for a tool bag. Why I never bought/made a tool bag before is a mystery to me. Mr. Aitch and I just make several trips to the basement when we need various tools and can’t carry them all at the same time.

I’m almost finished with this one. I just have to hand sew the binding around the edges to cover the exposed seams. I’m afraid it’s too thick for my sewing machine and I don’t want to damage/destroy it!

That’s all for this week. Take care.
