Another day at home 05-31-20

KoKo and I do our two walks each day - about 8am and 8pm when it has cooled off a bit.  This evening it was 75F  and the high today was 81F.  A little muggy.   I packaged the fabrics I had purchased for Ruth and a couple other people.  They can't go fabric shopping and actually FEEL the fabric, so I did it for them.  So, a trip to the PO is in order for tomorrow.  Goody!   When I was at Back Porch I found a backing fabric for the Little Houses - they represent our "isolation" - and the backing will represent the freedom that will come.  

This is a Windham Fabrics print called "Celebrating Women".

The only excitement today was when the garage door repairman came and repaired my garage door so it goes up and down on demand once again.   It was sixty bucks and worth every penny. 

I go to bed anticipating a trip to the Post Office tomorrow!

Detached garages 02-29-08

When I travel I am always seeing and photographing one-car detached garages. They are almost all quite old, some so narrow that parking one of today's cars might be possible, but you would never get the doors open! In my area the garages are mostly doubles (or triples) and are built as part of the house. So, it is a wonder to me that I never noticed this one on the alley behind my automobile repair garage (where I just had the A/C in my van fixed for about $400 - groan). It may have been attached at one time, but whatever structure it depended on was replaced by an apartment building. People do quilts of houses, windows, doors, outhouses, mailboxes... I don't know why someday I can't do one with one-car detached garages!
