I take the dog out and linger, and pull a few weeds, and dawdle, and admire the cherry tree and stall about going back inside. No regrets. The quilt will be there, won't it? In a month or two when it's not quite so inviting outside. And of course, I can always tell myself that I'm looking for inspiration, right?
Yes, yes, yes....I just told a friend that I wish my grass would quit growing for a week so I could cut fabric w/o feeling guilty. I try to take a break every day to each lunch on the patio and read a book for an hour - my self-imposed lunch "hour".....but then I find my gaze wandering over the roses and I take a few minutes to clip and dead-head....then back to my book.....oops there is a dead branch on that tree.....and on and on....love the weather this time of year. In a couple months it will be blazing hot.
