It Was One of Those Days

First up - before the not-so-good stuff started happening - this is card number 12, part of my series inspired by the Full Deck Challenge 3.

The prompts for week 12 were "holes and drippy paint"

This is the reverse side of my shipping tag.

(one of these days I'll learn to leave the back blank - or NOT)

DH has been doing spring yard work over the past week or so.  

For the second time (click here for the first time), the string trimmer threw a rock and broke one side of the sliding window panels in our sunroom.  Thankfully it is a double pane window and the rock damaged the outside layer only, meaning we don't have to worry about leaks while we wait for the replacement window.

DH's new rule is NO string trimmers within 75 feet of the house. (translation:  it can be used down by the street/mailbox and part way up the driveway but that's it).

By the end of the day, the window looked like this - truly spectacular in the sunshine.

And while knocking a dirt clod off an old plant, DH smacked a hand rake tine against his left thumb knuckle.  By mid-day, we were on our way to the ortho walk in clinic.  They suggested we come back at 4 so we didn't have to sit and wait all afternoon.  He was seen about 4:45, given an initial assessment (possible fracture), a tetanus shot, a round of antibiotics, and an appointment with the hand specialist first thing Tuesday morning.

Dragon Fyre was quilted in between the day's other adventures.  I'll work on the binding today since Young Man will be here for a sleepover Saturday.  It will be such fun to see his reaction to the finished quilt.
