This was not the weekend I had planned, visiting Sarah and Winnie in North Carolina. But, sore throat and achiness in their household (not Covid, we finally learned) and today, the end of life vet visit for the oldest of their three little brown dogs, Lucy.
Lucy had the best life, rescued from being left at the goat barn at Biltmore Estates. She loved living in West Asheville and walking down Haywood Road, taking in all the sights. And then she moved to Hendersonville beside a lake and learned the joys of country living and mulberries in the summer. She lived her very best life.
And so, I have just finished piecing the 100th, and last, sampler block from Susan Ache's Sampler Spree. I have closed the book. It's been a good run. I'm very glad that I did the four-block sets with sashing and the red setting blocks as I went, because sashing the 100 little blocks would be daunting at this point. There's a life lesson in there somewhere. There is, of course, more sashing to come, pieced sashing that looks pretty fun.
Time now to sit outside in the 79-degree evening, hoping to soon hear Reds' end-of-game fireworks. The Reds are tied with the Padres for a wild card spot in the playoffs, and no matter how that turns out, it's been a fun Reds season..
