Quilt Bush & Other Things
Well David wrestled the microwave out of the car yesterday. He put it in the middle of my kitchen and we just stood there and stared at it for a moment. It is awe inspiring with its might and girth.
The tea party was fun but loads of work. I was sooo very tired afterwards that I came home and napped. I never nap anymore. I've already been asked to help next year - I think I shall bow out gracefully. This is partly due to the fact that the tea party would be a month before my wedding and I don't think I would have time for it.
My grandmother lives next door to me and we all share the 4 acres of land. She has this blueberry bush that she loves - it is now about 5'5" tall and has tons of little blueberry blooms on it. Well now it is dogwood winter so it's frosting again for a few days. She decided to cover it. We all assumed she would use a tarp. Nope. Not her. She brings out a blue and white patchwork quilt. So now we have this blue and white patchwork quilt draped over a 5'5" tall bush and staked to the ground with rope and tent stakes so it won't blow away. We now call it Quilt Bush. Quilt Bush is quite visible from the main highway. People were slowing down to look at it. We all ducked inside and closed the curtains. This morning 3 squirrels were lined up in front of it staring at it with their little heads tilted sideways. I think they were paying homage to it or else thinking "wtf?"
