summer, summer where have you gone?



It is Sunday, it is wet, it is windy and it is not very warm! Now and then we get a day with a promise of summer weather and we even manage to spend some time outside, but now it is back to - spring? It feels like it! The wind is howling through the trees in the garden.
Still, not all is lost, it was our daughter's birthday on Friday and so today we all got together at our house for a family lunch. Even the sun came out for a minute or two:-)
Last weekend it was our granddaughter's 6th birthday. The weather was on our side then and the lunch was in DD's garden!




It is nearly time to "do things" with plums. We picked the first bowl full yesterday. All three plum trees are laden with fruit, but luckily they all are different varieties, so they are not all ready at the same time. Although I don't know how many will end up on the ground after the winds we have been having.


I haven't had much time for stitching this week, but after everyone left this afternoon, I did manage to finish the second block of the Scandinavian Christmas quilt. These are blocks no1 and no2 stitched together.


I wish you all a very good week!
