Frog-A-Thon

The first year in our new home is full of surprises.  The latest is the frog cacophony.  After dark, they start in--the noise is amazingly loud.  We are trying to find a way to describe and convey the effect--what kind of decibel level to compare it to.  They can't be seen, and as far as we know they are not particularly big.  They have to be up near the house as well as down in the pond.  It's a curiousity that has us shaking our heads.

I went to the Valley Quilt Guild meeting in Yuba City Wednesday night.  Mike MacNamara, just "Mac", showed his fabulously fun and crazy quilts with unusual picture fabrics.  He tells some great stories and great jokes, and it was hilarious.

The rest of the time we are trying to coax the sun out to warm us up, which it has done some.  I am on my mad quest to stay at the top of the Overachievers list.

Finished--2 Naptimes--kits by Susan, with additions and backs from the PT closet.  1  6" 4 Patch, a little throw in pastels--PT closet helped with back and batting, so it will also go back to them.
    
  
BUSTED!  More 6" squares, the 4 patch border and binding fabric, 2 kits, and several pieces from the PT closet.

Today's best....sharing the frog serenade with family on the phone, although they must think we old folks here have lost it.
