what sparks the light in you

today i …

washed some vintage sheets i found at the local goodwill for future quilt projects.

i marveled at the whiteness of my geraniums.

i waited for guests that never arrived.

i thought about advice from oprah … “you also have to know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world.”

i smiled when i saw my iris, that i planted three years ago from a piece of root a guest gave me, bloomed for the first time.

i waited for strong storms. they didn’t arrive either.

i started piecing together my quilt. it was as wonderfully enjoyable, just as i thought it would be.

it was a good day.

Hi Michael-

Your quilt looks bright and cheery – just like you. I waited for the storm and it did come, but blew by pretty fast. Did your guests ever arrive?

My best- Diane

You must have a great Goodwill…I can never find anything at mine. But you have a great eye for design so I’m not surprised you found some fabulous, cheerful fabrics. 🙂

Can’t wait to see your quilt. My Goodwill is mediocre at best. Love your blog, and if I ever visit Pa, I’ll have to stay at your inn!
