Well, it turns out I was completely burnt out and I didn’t know it. Taking copious amounts of fresh air, friends, and family and the subsequent actual relaxation I felt made me realize that. Huh, who knew? Any quilting I did was because I wanted to or only to play. So before I totally jump back in to the chaos and and schedules now that the kids are back in school let me linger in summer a little bit longer.
Camping on the Sheep River with friends.
Still tried to swim for exercise, back is improving.
Met and visited with Katja Marek at her gorgeous store in Kamloops.
Mount Robson, the start of our road trip.
Ferry rides.
In Cowichan Bay with the bioluminescent plankton after the sunset.
Catching a winter supply of salmon.
Parksville beach. Those tides!
Solitary morning walks.
Trying something new!
My ballet boy at the Aga Khan Gardens.
The two projects I worked on it August.
I realize that sharing these is kind of like watching someone else’s slide show. But maybe I can share a deep breath with you and it can carry us all through the busy month ahead.
