Apparently, these are the dog days of summer.

A medium-sized, light-colored dog is sleeping where the person is supposed to sleep, in a king-sized bed. There is a head depression in the pillow. The sheets have small, blue flowers.

I live in a funky NorCal town, about 25 miles inland from the Pacific as the crow flies and we lack an economic base but hey, the weather is comfortable most of the time. We have not had a single 100 deg day here this summer.

How I am spending retirement. #quilt #starrynightquilt #sewkindofwonderful

A camel, pieced out of cloth, a portion of a larger nativity-themed quilt. The camel is made of brown fabric and has a decorative turquoise blue saddle blanket with gold tassels.

A mini-quilt finish. Butterflies, pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful. This was the practice piece they recommend you sew before taking on the much bigger Starry Night, which I am hoping to finish before Advent. Hand quilted, per my usual. #quiltsky

A long, rectangular quilted table runner, with 5 butterflies: green, yellow, turquoise, orange and purple, on gray background. Binding is yellow.

Just an old dog, sleeping in the sun.

A light-colored, medium-sized dog is fast asleep on a carpeted floor, in a bedroom. He is enjoying the sun streaming in.

I liked this vase, which was once my mother-in-laws. But I notice it still has the price tag on the bottom—Marshall’s $19.99!

A broken pottery vase in a cardboard box. The vase was painted in an Italianate style with fruit and leaves.

I have thread basted many quilts including most recently this queen sized quilt. I’m a hand quilter and need the layers to be very secure for the months ahead when I will be dragging the quilt around, including on camping trips and to Hawaii, etc. I use a large table and do it in sections.

A colorful quilt lays across a rectangular table.

The doctor will see you now.

A computer monitor sits on a wheeled dolly. There is a keyboard and camera. It is a tech set-up for patients to have remote doctor visits, but it is in a doctor’s office.

TIL that great blue herons nest in trees?! But their bodies are so big and their legs are so long. And yet, there is a nesting pair in a eucalyptus tree at the Pismo Beach State Park campground. 🪶
