Work In Progress Wednesday and Waterspouts

Aaaaaah.....Work In Progress Wednesday has arrived again......it's motivation and embarrassment all wrapped up into one neat, little blog post!  I was determined to not arrive at Wednesday with my tail between my legs again and I am proud to say:  Mission Accomplished.  I have actually finished hand quilting 8 of the 20 blocks on the Granny Square Quilt which Emma is dutifully guarding.....

And I started a teeny, tiny hexie project which should hopefully be done by next week.  Actually.....for a normal person this project would be done by this evening.....but this is me so it will probably take a few months....

And I realized I forgot to tell you what happened two Wednesdays ago on the 4th of July!  I was sick that week (which is why I skipped WIP Wednesday) and around 8:30 in the morning while I was in my pajamas, Mr. Sew Fab's boss (who is also our neighbor) started pounding on our door and told us we had to come quickly.  Well, of course we go running out the back door with the dogs in hot pursuit to see what he wanted to show us......

Yup.....that was the view from our backyard on the morning of the 4th of July!  Pretty wild, huh?  The water spout lasted for at least 10 minutes which seemed like a really long time to me.  And of course we all just stood there in the backyard staring at it and taking pictures as the tornado sirens were blaring in the background.  And then Sammy, our Golden Retriever, realized that the neighbors have pet chickens and decided to start chasing one of them.  Yes.....our dog tried to kill Mr. Sew Fab's boss's chicken.  Don't you just hate it when your "kids" misbehave?  I ran after Sammy screaming like a crazy woman....in my pajamas....and Mr. Sew Fab dragged her home and then......they invited us to stay for breakfast!  I kept trying to make an excuse to get back home to change clothes but they kept stopping me! 


So....in summary....our dog tried to kill our neighbor/Mr. Sew Fab's boss's chicken and then we had breakfast at their house while I was wearing pink pajamas covered in owls with unbrushed teeth and wild bed head.  I'm soooooo elegant!
