I Like Thursday 10

I have been pretty busy.  Ever notice if you stay off of your computer, tablet, smartphone you get so much more done?  I know I do. But it also means that I forget to take pictures and blog. 

I like getting things done.  I can't share, but I will say I love bonus HST.

I have quite the pile here. 

I like when I order something that it gets here a day or two earlier than it says it will.

That always thrills my soul.  Sorry can't share what is in the box either.  Soon my pretties. 

I like that when you sew for charity you get much more done.  I went to the quilt charity sew day for church.  I finished a top to batting and a backing, did an envelope turn, and sewed around the edge.  I just need to hand sew the closure.  I also made 4 backs, and brought home one more quilt to sew together, turn, sew around the edge, and hand sew the closure. 

I know I have said this before, but I love a good fabric sale.  When I get 2 yards of fabric for less than $11 I am a happy camper.  I bought this fabric to donate to the guild for the gurney quilts.  I loved finding some manly looking fabrics in the sale bin.

I like being outdoors, even in the cold.  There are some days it is difficult to take pictures, and some places where I would love to take pictures it is difficult to get to that place.   One was a stream that was frozen over, out in the country.  You could see all sorts of animal tracks going up the middle of the stream.  It was very cool to look at, just I couldn't stop and get a picture.

I like the old mill in the nearby town of Dundee.  I love the old stack.  I think this building has had many different identities.  Currently it is a museum.  Nope I haven't been in there.  It is only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  This is the Raisin River, it was named because of the wild grape which grows along the banks. 

I like how the water has frozen over above the dam.  Not that you should walk on it.  We have had too many freeze, thaw cycles for it to be safe.  Unfortunately some people in the area don't seem to realize it and a man was recently lost on Lake Erie, driving his snowmobile out on the water, and it fell through the ice. 

Same river, just downstream at a historical venue near the city of Monroe.  See how it is completely froze over by the bridge?   But just a few yards downstream you see where the current is flowing quickly in the next picture.

I  like the old twisted tree that is leaning out over the water.  I think I may need to wear my pack boots, bundle up more and go explore the old trading post at this spot. 

I  like that this little girl makes me laugh.  Even though she is kicking all of my scraps out of the crumb bin, she is a ball of energy.

I keep garbage cans full of dog bed stuffing, and she is notorious for dragging it all over the house.  I am constantly picking up.
