Thank goodness it is Saturday!

 What a week! Crazy at work, learning new things with a deadline looming is always fun. I have not been doing much of anything, but I did get this one light green string of beads block completed. It is a rainy day today, so I hope to spend time doing something in the sewing room. Linking up with the RSC in green.

Some normal day sights this week. The pink mimosa tree is in full bloom on the side yard. It is a very fluffy flower with pink.

On our walk this morning (Bear and I) we saw one Momma turkey with her 3 littles. There is another one with 8 or 9 littles as well.

Another wild turkey we saw this morning.

I had my phone with me today and the birds were chirping away. There is a storm coming in this afternoon and it is very overcast so maybe they are busy enjoying the rain free weather? According to my Merlin app (thank you to whomever mentioned it!) I was hearing Tufted titmouse, Carolina Wren, yellow throated vireo, common ground dove and one I have not seen was a northern parula. 

This one was holding me down last night. Yes, my leg is under the quilt, and he is using it as a pillow.

I was working on figuring a backing for the Arkansas Traveller quilt on Thursday. I was piecing all the extra blocks and parts before I had to stop and do a run to Lady Lake. I think I will just use one of the plain cotton panel sheets I have in a box so I can get it done this weekend without too much thinking. I used that on the back of the green quilt above, and it is oh so soft and cuddly. No thinking and I can maybe get a quilt finish this year!

In other news....

We met with an elder care lawyer on Wednesday then headed over to see Tom, my FIL. He was laying flat in bed and snoozing. We did the paperwork finally for admitting, since the admitting person kept catching him asleep and did not want to wake him. He was pretty discouraged and said he could barely stand and was not walking. He was one week out from hip surgery from the break the Sunday befor that. I was hoping to have all Thursday to play in my sewing room. Alas, we needed to head over to do some of his banking and check the house. We also brought more clothing for him that is easier to get in and out of with his hip. He was a different person on Thursday. Sleeping, but sitting up in the recliner. He had been to the rehab area and done some shuffle walking - which was great news! He has come to terms with he will be there for a while to rehab and get his strength back rather than the few days he was hoping. I believe he has 100 days available for rehab, and he has awesome insurance so does not pay a dime. I was listening to my audio book last night when I got a call from a local number I did not recognize. I answered it and it was from his Rehab facility. Hubby did not answer his cell, so I'm glad we gave them mine as well. Seems he has a blood clot in his leg. They did an ultrasound and gave the blood thinner shot and will keep an eye on it. At least he notified them his foot felt weird, and they addressed it immediately. I'm sure there will be a trip over today to check in on him again. 

I still had the non dairy coconut yogurt from Emily's meal so tried it in the yogurt scone recipe (on the recipe page). I added some frozen blueberries on top. She will be so happy she can eat them without a lactaid pill!
