We've been having fun and staying quite busy here - some quilting, some not.
After quite a few days of very hot weather, it was nice to enjoy a comfortable evening out back and use the fire ring.
Honestly, Jack and I have not spent nearly as many evenings doing this as we used to, but we had visitors and it was a perfect way to relax and chat. The picture above is with the second addition of wood; which we did, even though we knew we would not be out long enough for it all to burn. Since there are still some unburned pieces in the ring, I think I'm going to suggest we do it again tonight - just the two of us. :-)
Our visitors may be gone, but we still have a few reminders that they were here. Young ones often forget to close the back door tightly, so we get flying creatures in the house. This butterfly has been hanging out on the kitchen window and I can't seem to coax it outside.
I have been at the sewing machine today, doing some final prep for upcoming classes; but I sure am looking forward to going outside later tonight.
