Summer Days Block 12- A Bowl of Tomatoes

Good morning, sweet friends. It is a beautiful Spring day. In fact, it is supposed to get up to 87 degrees today.

 The other day Mr. Pinker went to flip the switch to air on our central air and heat. All of a sudden we heard a RUMBLE and BUMBLE and then a CLICK and CLACK! 

"What  is all that racket?" I asked  .

 "Oh, no," Mr. Pinker  said with a sigh. "I think the Central air is going out."

 Mr. Pinker then made a bee line outside.  Meanwhile, I listened intently at  all of the ruckus hoping it was something else going on outside like 2 raccoons in a brawl  with a coyote or something like that . And all of  the while , I was ignoring the fact that no cool air was coming from the vent.  

A few minutes later , Mr. Pinker came back in with an exasperated look on his face. 

"What was it ? I asked excitedly . "Was it 2  crazed raccoons beating up a coyote????!!!!" 

 Mr. Pinker looked at me like I was plumb nuts. "What? What are you talking about ?" he asked." Nope it was nothing like that. It was our central air  unit going out. " 

Then Mr. Pinker pulled out his old trusty phone and made a call to  the good ole' Mr. Heating and Air  Man  and - no answer.🦗🦗 So he left a message. And........ we are still sitting here .😳😳🦗 LOL 

Two days later ,  I asked , " Where is Mr. Air Man?"  

" I have called him 3 times and have left messages, "said Mr. Pinker. "OK, I will call someone else. "    So  Mr. Pinker  called 3 other companies, talked to the secretaries  and guess what ? 🦗  Well no one has showed up.  Fingers crossed we will get a response soon . Lol. 

So today  I will be spending the majority of the day on the porch  for some good ole' porch stitching. Hopefully there will be a breeze.🌬 

            

And I just know I will be entertained by new birdies that have hatched out. 

On a good note-today is embroidery Thursday, and I have finished up the last of the Summer Days blocks. 

The last block is  a Bowl of Tomatoes. Summer is just not summer without fresh vine ripened tomatoes. I was telling Mr. Pinker just last night that I would love to have a nice BLT sandwich with fresh maters. Doesn't that sound yummy?

 I  believe I have decided how I am going to set my blocks. I am going to gather my fabrics today. As of right now, I am thinking reds and blues. I should have something completed by next Thursday. 

Last night I worked on a few teeny four patches. I will make a few more today. 

Well, that is what is going on in the quilt nest today. What fun projects are you working on? 

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and as always...

Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll
