I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Thursday Happenings
Watering was one of the first things that I did this morning. It continues to be rather warm here so no more rain than we have gotten lately, watering is necessary. So far all the new plants are doing well. I came in and took on the task of clearing the guest bed. I put clean quilts and throws on that bed until I could get the shelf in the closet ready to put them on. I had Nathan move the step stool into the guest room yesterday when he was here. He used it and then I asked him to put it in there so it would be there when I got around to putting the quilts, etc. away. I found zoppered bags on that shelf that I was able to put all the quilts and thows in so they won't be gathering dust on that shelf. Now they will be on that shelf when it gets cold enough to need amy of them...certainly they are not needed currently! It did get to 90 today and supposed to be inching toward 100 over the weekend. I think that the rising temperatures are getting ready to greet my sister, when she arrives from AZ next week! She's pretty used to high temperatures...but...if our humiditiy rises, too, then those temperatures will seem even hotter to her. These last few days, our humidity hasn't been all that bad. I did a few other cleaning jobs before it was time for lunch. Then after lunch, I headed to the church library, as Donna and I switched days since I was busy on Tuesday. We got the next step done of the books we are processing. Next time we will put contact paper on them, as they are all paperbacks, and they will be ready to shelve with the new books. As always, Donna and I enjoyed catching up with each other. On my way home, I stopped to see if I could find a storage container to hold some wayward pieces of fabric that have been gathering after projects. They currently haven't found their way back to the place from whence they came and I just don't have time to sort through them right now so I will plop them in this storage container, a linen rectangle with handles, and I will put it on the floor in the sewing closet. That way they will all be in one place and I can get to them to look through them when I am looking for fabric for one thing or another...lately I have been seeking fabric to go on the back of the small pillows, I have been making. I had planned to come home and utilize this "storage basket," but...I guess I sat down to relax and relaxed a little too much, as I just came to a few minutes ago after a nap. I will probably go down and have a bite of supper and then come back up and accomplish that task later this evening. Well, that about sums up my day, now to do a little more and then settle in for the night. I did finish my three small pillows, one for Fall and two for Spring last night. This morning I got out the 2024 charm and a pin and attached the year to the back of each. Now, I can't decide whether to attach a 2024 charm to the backs of the five smalls that I finished the other day...as they were only made into a pillow in 2024, but were actually stitched 40+ years ago...so haven't decided if I will put a year pin on the back of them or not...still thinking on that! To be continued. Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
