So, this was fun and now I can't wait to get some more fabric to mess about with. Some of these pieces are actually two or three colors blending into each other and they look really neat.

Farewell Champion Mouser
Just had to note the passing of Phantom, big fuzzy black cat we lived with for a bit while still in Vermont. He was clipped by a car last week and Stephanie and Josh finally had to make the hard decision today. Phantom kept our area free from rodents and could have been the inspiration for the following little ditty

Dyeing Day
That's FABRIC dyeing day. I spent most of yesterday brewing up lots of lovely colors and today I am ready to start making lots of pretty pieces of fabric. I've got about 6 yards of PFD muslin, in half-yard increments, soaking in soda ash and I'm gonna set up shop outside under the carport - it's a messy job, but fun.

Manhunt!
Oh, how I love Florida. As I write, helicopters are circling to our east hoping to spot the suspect wanted in a local animal-killing, family-threatening situation that occurred some time earlier this morning. I learned all these details while giving my statement to the nice Sheriff's Deputy - apparently this very same animal-killing, family-threatener pulled up right next to us at the gas station this morning and I happened to take notice of him and his car.
Our County Sheriff puts out phone alerts when they're looking for missing persons. While listening to this particular description over the phone (70-year old man driving a white Mercury, blue vinyl roof), I realized that I had just seen him at the gas station and, thinking it was a "Silver Alert" (senile old person missing from the home), I called the Sheriff back to report in. I was not so happy to learn that it wasn't somebody's missing grandpa at all but a hardened animal killer! I do need to find out what sort of animals we're talking here. I mean, what if it was just a gator or wild pig or rats or something? My own mother is guilty of trying to snuff a snake with an ammonia bath. We need perspective here, people! Guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow's crime log to find out more. I am beginning work on my new book tomorrow: Chapter 1 - Polk County: So You Thought The Wild West Was Dead? --cds
