I can’t tell you enough how welcome this sunny weather is! The house is flooded with light, the temperatures are considerably warmer and it all makes me smile. (Excuse the mess on my sewing table.) I was walking the dogs yesterday and heard the honking of Canadian geese. There in the sky, way above us, were hundreds of geese flying in a perfect V. What an amazing sight!
Don is still in San Diego with his Dad and siblings. Not much has changed at this point. Lee (my father-in-law) is still sedated and his lungs are still filling up with fluid which has to be suctioned out. Because of the tube and IV’s he is still heavily sedated. He has squeezed Don’s hand and grimaces when procedures are being done. A doctor took some time to explain everything yesterday and said that they want to lessen the sedation but it is a bit of a balancing act. Yesterday, they eased up on the sedation but the oxygen levels in Lee’s blood dropped, so they had to sedate him once again. Long hours are being spent at the hospital by everyone. I remember this so well from my Dad’s hospitalization a few years ago. Please keep those healing thoughts coming. I told Don that I want Lee to be well and back home so that I can visit him when I go out to San Diego next month.
My needle threader broke, so I had to run out to Joanne’s to get some more. I didn’t stitch squares 17 and 18 until last night:
#17 – a hanging plant – the hanging plants on my porch are always purple for some reason.
#18 – the ocean – if I have to leave my family for 10 weeks, at least I can spend some time gazing at the Pacific Ocean.
Have a wonderful day.
Love your sunlight! And your color choices.
oh dear! Just popped in to say hello and seen the news – I hope Lee will be okay…worrying stuff but he’s in the right hands so fingers crossed! I see you have changed your banner – looks very nice! Hope you are okay hun xxx
Dear Claudia,
Sorry to be late with this, but I’m sending out prayers to you and your FIL and family. I pray that he’s in relative comfort and that he’ll be on the path to healing in short order. God Bless
Hugs,
Meri
My prayers are still going out for your fil. The sunshine is a welcome sight. We still aren’t seeing much. No rain, but clouds! I did see one bloom on one of my forsythia bushes this morning.
Prayers still going out for your Lee. I do hope he improves soon.
I didn’t notice any mess in your space . . . just charm!
your father-in-law is still in my prayers also- and strength for your entire family. I love the ocean square- the little clouds are awesome!
Oh Im so sorry to hear of your Father in laws health! My Father too had a bad situation years ago and it was heartbreaking to watch! I will say a prayer for him surely I will. Much warmth to you my friend xox

Lovely squares! This sampler is going to be amazing!
I hope that the doctors find a way to balance it out and that your Father in Law is able to be more awake as he heals. I will continue to send warm, loving, healing thoughts his way.
