A Little RSC Pink and a Little I Like Thurs

This week I finished the 2nd Grandmother's Jewels. Only three more to go for this month. I have plenty of pink scraps so there isn't a shortage in that bin!

Pretty Jewels!

Spring has sprung around here. I've been working whenever I get a small chance to get a handle on the weeds and pruning. I hope to get some weed killer down on the bits I couldn't get pulled up. Then I'll lay down my newspapers and then some mulch on top of that. Let's hope I can get at least some of the gardens done this upcoming week! In the meantime, I've got some blooms to share.

One Lone Amaryllis This Year

We had a visitor the other day. She was there all day but was gone by the next morning. She's a Luna Moth. I read up on her and she only lives for one week because she has no mouth. She conserves energy by just hanging out, trying to interest a mate for her hundreds of eggs. So sad!

I can share a finished project which always earns an atta-girl!

This & That Pattern Called Pumpkin Spice

On to the I Like Thurs prompt now. LeeAnna gave us this to work with:

"April 16  2026


what is your favorite daily routine? describe it to us... for example
wake early when others are asleep for the peace? Make list?"

I actually have two favorite daily routines. I do cherish my quiet mornings. Mom & Fred sleep in later than I do. I enjoy my coffee and wake up with games on my phone. First games are in the New York Times app:   Wordle and then Connections followed by Strands. I save Pips for last because it has a timer involved and I really need to be awake! I move on to a game of Spider Solitaire, then Blockadoku, and then, last but not least, I do a Mahjong Solitaire. All that takes about 30 minutes and then I wait to talk to my best friend, who lives in Knoxville TN. We chat for about 45 minutes most Mondays through Fridays. Then it's off to get dressed and walk my Gracie by 7am. We return around 8 and I can usually hear stirring going on upstairs and I know the day will officially begin in about a half hour.

My next favorite routine starts between 5:00 and 5:30pm. WINE TIME!!! 'Nuff said, right? Hahaha!

Please join all my friends to see what they are sharing.

LeeAnna of Not Afraid of Color for all the wonderful inspiration and happiness.

(Clearly I missed an update or something because LeeAnna's prompt apparently was favorite song to sing. No time to change my post now. Ugh! Sorry, LeeAnna!)

Also, Angela of SoScrappy for all things pink on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
