At break time we played a rip-roaring game of Sequence and took a field trip to a local park for some exercise, fresh air and sunshine; the weather has been absolutely wonderful this week, cooler temps with lower humidity. Sometimes a brief redirection from the customary is just what the soul needs; I feel confident saying that we all had a good time during their visit!
In other news; our little buddy, Hannes, turned 18 last month! He's grown more feeble lately and his little back legs have been slipping on our hardwood floors as he navigates. It's so sad; and scary. We ordered these "grippy" socks and they really seem to help! As you can see, they work for him to safely walk around, and turn, with no sliding or slipping whatsoever. He leaves them on just fine, and doesn't seem to mind one bit. Honestly, I think he's grateful. We cherish every day that we have with him.
The Potato Chip quilt has made its way to the design wall, it will need another row and finish up at 64" X 80" when it's all together. I've been shifting and rotating blocks daily as I size it up. This is a fun and fast project!
The Kousa Dogwood is beginning to put on a show with it's fall "fruit".
The colors are simply stunning as they ripen.
Life is Good!

That is the same kind of dogwood that we have. You are so right about that orange color! How good that you found those grippy socks for Hannes - it is so difficult to watch pets age (sigh).
Aw hannes! What do you do with him when you travel? My old girl is going on 16 and I take her with me. If she can’t go, we don’t go!

Have a great time with your grandchildren.
It is good to see Hannes and thank you for sharing. It is hard to see our pet family age... We worry about our two 18 year old cats too, but they are all over 12.... Sigh.
