slow, not steady

I cleaned/organized 3/4 of my work room last month when I couldn't find a quilt square I had made (and needed to complete a block for class). Ever since, I've been quite resolute in this being the year of unfinished projects (but I can so easily manuever around that one...I mean, if I have the pattern and the fabric already purchased and set aside...that counts as an unfinished project, right?).  I'm almost finished completing one project, and the time out the last two weeks with yardwork, garden stuff, animals, and elections have given me a lot of time to THINK about what needs to be done and what I'd like to tackle next. Unfortunately thinking seems to be all I have time for lately.

Meanwhile, it's strawberry season in NC, which means I hope to get quite a few to put up (including a few pints of jam for my niece's birthday) in the next few weeks.

And in the midst of life's normal craziness, my heart is in AL a lot lately. We're doing the waiting game...again.  Looks like we won't have answers to the latest round of tests for Mom until the 28th of this month. People who don't think our medical system in America is in need of an overhaul obviously don't use it very much...and that's all the ranting I'm allowing myself to do today.
