2 goals..................

I had 2 goals yesterday: renew my driver's license and finish the binding on the pink/gray quilt.

First the driver's license;  Illinois is the only state in the country that requires adults over 75 to do a driving (road) test every time they renew their license.  I was 78 the first time I had to do the road test, 82 the second time and now I will be 84 in a week for the 3rd time.  So I got a 4 yr. license the first time, over 80 they only give a 2 year license and starting with 87 you have to do the road test every year.

Now on to the fun stuff.  I worked on hand stitching the binding in three sessions and only have 11" left to stitch.  I stopped at 10:45 p.m. and will resume today.

When I went out to get my mail, I noticed the Violas are still doing well.  They like cooler weather and got some nice rain early this week.  The chipmunk or squirrel that digs in the pot has so far stayed over on the other side where there is just dirt.

The close up shots changed the yellow part to orange so even though it isn't accurate in coloring it is still so pretty.

Above normal temperature is predicted for the next 10 days. 52 is the normal high for today and 56 is predicted.  With sunshine that should feel warm.  I need to start picking all of the tomatoes and finish ripening them inside.
