A Late Sunday Visit

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whish! Howl !
 Oh my, it sure was a blustery day! I thought I was going to be blown away when I stepped outside.  In fact, there were wind warnings out. It made the day quite chilly.  

Welcome, Sweeties and a lovely evening to you. ❤


Off and on , I would sit outside trying to enjoy the warm rays of the sun, but alas, it was hard with the gusts up 20 mph.  Now that is downright breezy.  Well, at least for me. 🌬🌬πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜„πŸ˜„

This is the lovely view I was enjoying. 


 Every now and then I would get up for a stroll. There are lots and lots of rocks . Yes, I am a rockhound.  My eagle  eye spies a heart rock . Do you see it? 


  One of my favorite cacti is the cholla.  Be careful though  for they are prickly!!!! 


Mr. Pinker added 200 more watts of solar to our camper which was greatly needed. We are now up to 400 and we have our generator if needed.  

  
He spent the day battling the wind while working on the side by side.- just tackling a few  odds and ends so we can ride around.  Meanwhile, I gave up on sitting outside and made my way inside the little ole' truck camper. 
Soon I  began to work on the lovely Blackbird Designs sampler called "Winter Wonderland" , a gift from dear. Sonja. Thank you , Sonja. πŸ€— I finished the bottom border and began working up the side.  I continued working on it throughout the day. 





I put out on my hummingbird feeder in hopes that a hummer or two would visit the camp. Will they brave the high winds? Hmmm, I am not for sure. 


Last week , I moved the Flaming Butterfly quilt out of the large oval hoop into the 18" round hoop for traveling. 

My needle  meandered around the   Whatcha MaCall It  block today. 

 It took me about 2 hours to complete the block . Soon,  I will move on to a little black butterfly.
