Missing the view

/ one2travelfar / 1 Comment

I am on Long Island to meet up with old friends and Cooper.  He just completed his first year of law school!!  Chelsea finishes her junior year of engineering next week (I can’t mention one without the other, very competitive) and I am so proud of both of them.  I think Chelsea sleeps a lot less than Cooper because she always seems to be pulling all nighters.  It’s all about choices.

When I moved to the Adirondacks, I thought I might have a hard time being off island and away from the water.  Instead, I thoroughly enjoy our view of the mountains.  I love to look at them from afar, while Tim likes to”do” them.

Hiking nearby

We went for a hike up the closest hill near our house with a marked trail, Blueberry Cobbles. Wildflowers were out and we saw trillium, columbine, ferns, violets, strawberry plants and lots of blueberry bushes.

We could see our house nestled in the woods from one of the viewpoints. A good time was had by all.

Loki, oblivious

I have almost finished my first (sort of) quilt

With the moral support of Shirley, Loki and Tim, I’ve been sewing madly. I’m pretty happy for an almost first effort. I just need to stitch around the whole thing about 3 more times and tidy up all the loose ends. My last (and first) was completed about 35 years ago and I no longer own it. I’m already planning my next project and I want to use scraps of fabric and hand sew it. Know anyone with scraps?
