Rain, Glorious Rain

While the majority of my blogging friends have been in a deep freeze for a long time, we have been enjoying summerlike weather.  Last night we finally got some rain.  I love sleeping with the sound of the rain.  We only got .1 inch, but we need every drop we can get.  The sun is now out and the temperatures are suppose to reach the 70* mark today, but it was a glorious night.  We are forecast to get a good series of storms next week so I hope we will enjoy more rainy nights.  Meanwhile, the skies have been stunning.

Sunsets that light the evenings up like fire.

We were busy over the weekend babysitting eight of our grandchildren.  The cousins always enjoy spending the time together and a sleepover at Grandma and Granndpa's house is always sure to share a lot of giggles.

Rub a dub, dub....six boys in a tub.

I have finally finished the pruning and am now able to get back to a little sewing.  I finished the top to my January Schnibbles project and need to quilt it so I can bind it for Friday Night Sew In with Heidi.

Three more Siggy blocks have arrived in my mail.  These are such fun to collect.  If you have not signed up for this swap, you should give it a try.  Annalies does such an incredible job on it and sends us updates on participants every three months.  I believe there are close to 800 people in the group now.  Amazing.

This weekend will be the christening of our newest granddaughter.  Family get togethers for such important celebrations are always so meaningful.  We are looking forward to getting together with the family of our DIL as well.  They live in Northern California.

Well, here we are in the middle of January.  How is everyone doing with new year's resolutions?  Well....you still have eleven and a half months to go!!!
