I hope that my dear friend Nancy won't mind me copying this idea from her blog entry, but I thought it was a way of getting to know folks a bit better.

Outside My Window… The garden is glistening from a recent shower of rain and my rambler roses are covered in a million buds.

I am thinking… I'm glad it rained, so I don't have to water round my plants tonight.

I am thankful for… speaking to both my daughters on the phone in the last 24 hours. It brings them closer.

From the kitchen…there is still the smell of garlic wafting up the stairs.

I am wearing… baggy trousers and my favourite stripey top.

I am creating… am embroidered quilt block for an exchange. I hope to get to the dragonfly tonight (it's a pond scene).

I am going… to post this then go downstairs and sew.

I am reading…Mary Webb's "Gone to Earth" and also Phil Rickman's "Crybbe".

I am hoping… that my horse Fahal will find the most wonderful new home.

I am hearing…birds singing their evening songs.

Around the house… cats are snoozing, and it is quiet because I am on my own (which doesn't happen very often).

One of my favorite things… making beautiful things.
