Despite the cooler weather, the coleus and petunias are doing well.  I picked the peppers today, jalapenos, scorpions and ghost peppers.  I'm not eating them.  The carrots are still in the planters and I'll wait on them for a bit. The maple tree that I planted in the spring is very happy and I'm looking forward to the leaves changing color.

We still don't know when Jack is coming home.  The big guy and I tossed around the idea of driving out there to get him.  It's a ten hour drive each way.  We'd have to take both the dogs with us too.  Jack still has a daycare to go to, so we could bring him home and take him to daycare in the North End.  It would be a lot of driving but we've done that before.  We'll see.

The second quilt restoration continues.  I'm terrified of making mistakes and get stressed out trying new things so I had to bite the bullet and just try to machine quilt this particular quilt, as I wasn't going to pay to have it quilted.  It's not great, but unless you're a quilter, it doesn't look bad.  There's only one way to learn sometimes and I just had to do it. The hand embroidered panels, there are six of them, remind me of Ms. Moon for some reason.  Still not sure what I'm going to do with the quilts but this project has pushed me to try new techniques which is good.

My life so far.
