Stormy Skies

We got hit with a pretty powerful line of thunder storms late Sat afternoon & immediately lost power.  We sat around for a while & just watched the crazy weather from the safety of the sun room.  When it slowed down some we decided to go out in search of power & food.
This is what the sky looked like on the way home at just about sunset!
I kept yelling at Popster to slow down, turn the car this way or that way so I could get pictures(or Kodak moments as he likes to call them)!

I spotted a partial rainbow & made him  take a right turn in the middle of a left turn, then I yelled at him to pull over.  Of course he pulls into a parking lot with a huge building in my way....I'm like pull out & into the next lot & hurry before it's gone.  It's a wonder he didn't "slap me up the side of the head"


These pics I took in the yard when we got home......Popster was all done listening to me so I had to make do with what I could see from home!

I love the night sky after a storm!  Of course we then had to sit in the dark for the rest of the night.  We have a generator that we bought last fall & had outlets wired for it in the event of a power failure but guess who couldn't remember how to start it & also didn't remember where he put the manual or the written instructions on what to do? 
Just to give you a hint it wasn't me or Molly!

  1. That rainbow is absolutely gorgeous and as it happens I'm quite partial to barns so tell Popster, thank you!
    Stunning photos as always.
    Can't believe that Lili can't remember how to run the generator!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!

Today we have a riddle???

 What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip?  The following.........  This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic  Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing.  This is the back....got tired of doing squares!  Matching cover for my serger.  I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot.  I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon.  Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love
