May Showers..........will they ever end???

Almost a month has flown by since my last post............which was also about rain.  Will it ever end?  I have to say The Hubs is handling it pretty well.  I think it helps that he can see his corn is up.  No beans have been planted yet.  I'm wondering about mentioning switching to rice instead this year.  Doesn't that take lots of water?

Some sewing has happened.  I finished these 12 blocks for my Bjorn Bear quilt.  Each block has 50 pieces!
One bear still needs a pair of glasses appliqued on.  And apparently Cici really wanted to play with the bears............
I don't think the bears were much fun, so she tried to get Muffin to play...........watch the series of photos.......





Muffin was very annoyed since her main 2 activities are eating and sleeping.

DD moved home for most of the summer (minus 3 weeks in Rolla to manage the lab for summer camps, and a week of small Sat conference in Logan, Utah at the beginning of August.
She did move 2 kittens back to our house.............meet Nemo and Dory!  
I realize she has given the cats "fish" names.  She also considered Minnie and Mickey, but I didn't think they would like to be named after mice.  Bonnie and Clyde were on the table for awhile as well, which I considered the most appropriate, but Dory and Nemo won out.

Since The Hubs hasn't been in the field, he had time to work on making some furniture for the patio..............
We bought the cushions and he made the furniture to fit them.  Yes, we do things a little backwards here.  He also repainted the table from our old set and we added new chairs.


And of course, a box to keep the cushions in.

We also took care of the neighbor's rabbits for a week.........  They are so cute!

And some dressed in tuxedos for us!

We had some fabulous show and tell at quilt guild this month.  This was a favorite of mine.  It was made by my friend Carrie.  I'm really hoping Carrie is safe as she lives in the Glasgow bottoms and the flooding is getting pretty bad.

And Gina shared her rainbow scrap challenge quilt from last year all completed!

And Karen shared her most recent work of art. 

As soon as I post this I'm heading back to the kitchen.  With DD home for most of the summer, we are working on some cooking skills.  We covered how to get a pot roast into the oven this morning, mixed up Grandma Bentley's bran rolls, and have homemade noodles drying.  It's almost time to make out the rolls.  I plan on having her give me some lessons on using the Instagram account she set up for me awhile back.  

May you enjoy some sunshine soon!
