What if . . . . . . .

What if dinosaurs hadn’t completely disappeared before the time of man? My second grade class is studying dinosaurs and this inspired me to ponder about dragons. I have noticed that there are similarities between the two. Both can be very big and definitely look furious; look at some of the depictions of dragons by the Chinese. Like some folktales, they get a bit fanciful, but where or when did it start? Just a thought.

Winter weather ?????

We are finally getting some winter weather here in Livermore. I wasn't sure it was going to come since we had some days that were in the low 70s and high 60s last month. I thought spring had come and skipped winter. I like my seasons as modified as they are.






Some of the residents in our townhome community have taken out their woodstoves and put in skylights. It is on days like these that I am glad I still have my woodstove.

Quilt in Progress

This quilt is taking a bit of time. It is our new family home evening activity. My daughter selected the pattern and the material. I get to do all the sewing. I think the hard part is figuring out what colors to put where and knowing where everything fits. We are about half way through it. The border will be blue and the back will be black. All of the fabric is oriental print.
