Ironing in the background

Last week, a team I'm a member of met for a virtual happy hour.  It happened late Friday, but during business hours, so I was only drinking water, but they convinced me to go make a drink (it didn't take much convincing).  When the call was over, I realized that the closet door to the studio was open and some shirts that need ironing were hanging there.  I doubt anybody else noticed, but I was embarrassed that I spent the whole call with my laundry hanging out behind me.  I'll try to be more careful as I continue to invite people into my home via video.  

Last Friday was our 5th 1st wedding anniversary.  There's another anniversary later this week.  We have a lot of anniversaries to celebrate; the day we met, the first time we got married (limited marriage not recognized in all states) and the second time (full marriage, recognized in all states).  I gave us both new computers for our anniversary.  Rob got an iMac and I got a MacBook.  We are officially apple people now.  We've spent the week learning how to use them.  They're a lot different than our Microsoft based computers were and we're still busy transferring data from one device to another.  But, the gifts were a big hit and we are enjoying them.  This is the first blog post on the new device and I have a lot of learning to do.

I made another feathered star block yesterday.  That would be 12, except for the puppy and kitten block that I'm going to use somewhere else.  I included it in this picture, just to round it out.  I've picked a red/white/blue theme for the last block and I decided I wanted to make it over July 4th weekend.  

This weekend, we also sealed the deck.  Always a rewarding bit of hard work.  Rob borrowed the power washer from the neighbors and that certainly made it an easier project.  We have a team system built around this.  I brush the ends of the boards with sealer and he comes along with a roller and rolls them.

This little guy was in the garden yesterday when I was watering.  When I got close, he jumped and so did I.  He was very tiny.

A couple of flower pics.

Before I go, I'm going to speak about the orange toad knowing that putin was paying a bounty on American solders lives and he didn't do anything about it.  What is that piece of sh*t going to have to do to convince his cult of followers that he is a traitor to everything this country stands for?  He doesn't care about me, he doesn't care about you, he doesn't care about anything that isn't stealing from the American public and lining his pockets with our hard earned money.  If you support a traitor, that makes you a traitor.  Just sayin'.

Everybody have a good week and whatever form your prayers take, please please please pray that we get this traitor out of our country without too much bloodshed.
