Sunday - My Way

I've been trying to get back into the habit of walking*. It's good for me and it's good for the dogs. We also live in a great area for a neighborhood walk as we have many horseback riding trails within a half mile or less of our home, and the roads are very quiet. I put up this post about walking in the 'hood' in August. 

Today we actually crossed paths with a horseback rider. I would have taken a picture of the beautiful (and very calm) palomino, but the timing was all wrong. We had just come to a fence with two large German Shepard type dogs, running up and down the fence, barking at us and at the horse. Add to that, my two Corgis were barking back at the dogs, as well as barking at the horse, and pulling a bit to try to get closer to the horse. The activity did not lend itself to my taking out my phone and capturing a picture! Maybe next time!

I played a few games of Mahjong online with my BFF. We catch a few games with each other almost daily. It's a fun way to chat, do some sort of mindless hand work, and play a game that we love!

I made some progress on Step 6 of the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt. I posted about the beginning of this challenge in November. I only have 6 more blocks to make before I move on. (My progress was hampered by the surgery on my hand, which limited my ability to cut fabric)

I put our fake Christmas tree to bed, and watered the real tree that we recently planted. 

And, I completed a second quilted clock....wanting to make some improvements on the first! 

* I let myself slip out of the habitual daily walk for a number of reasons. In the summer it was simply too darn hot. Additionally, I have arthritis in the bones of the arch of my left foot and that makes walking very painful. I recently went to a new podiatrist. He recommended a different OTC orthotic, and by jove, they are making a difference! (How's that for an old saying?!)
