Ahhh! Peace and quiet, and even a ray of sunshine as a bonus. What a lovely moment’s reprieve from Mrs. Flicker’s bickering.
Uh-oh! I may have spoken too soon. I was SO enjoying a moment on my own.
You say she wants me to get home and help with the dishes? Can’t you see I’m on retreat?
You’ve got a nerve, taking her part. You go back and tell her … tell her …. Oh, heck! Tell her I’ll be there in a minute.
And like Mr. Flicker, I’ll be away for a few days on retreat, quilting up a storm. Back soon.
Meanwhile, check out my website for more about my books. Three of them with love and drama on the west coast of British Columbia (The Wind Weeps, Reckoning Tide, Marlie), more love and drama on the Baja Peninsula (Orion’s Gift), and a love triangle in postwar Europe (Julia’s Violinist).

Thanks, Ursula. I hope we can get there. The tail is wagging the dog and the “natives” are blocking our roads all over the place. I could write a book on this.

Hi Anneli,
I always enjoy the pics of those quilts.
Are they available for purchase anywhere ?

I think they are, Hans, but the prices would be outrageous because of the time that goes into making them.

Thanks, Lori. Today is loading up day. You wouldn’t believe all the things we have to load up for a few days of sewing. But it’s worth it for four days of fun.

What a cute story about this bird. It’s amazing how their heads can turn so far.

Sometimes when I look at birds (and other animals) it really looks like they are saying something a human would say. Makes it fun to put together a post. Thanks for reading, Jacqui.
