Fall came in on Monday, and brought with it a change in the weather! On Tuesday it rained here the entire day - we got over an inch of rain in about 8 hours. For people who live in a dry climate like we do, that was amazing!
I spent much of the afternoon wrapped in a quilt, reading. It was so enjoyable! Michael Connelly is a favorite author of mine, and I finally got to read his newest book, which introduces a new main character. A good story!
Our regional airport here had an air show going on this past weekend, and we were able to see the Air Force Thunderbirds practicing for it right above our neighborhood. They make quite a roar as they zoom by! They entertained us for a good hour on both Thursday and Friday afternoons last week.
And the fall leaf colors are entertaining right now, too. We went for a scenic drive up in the mountains yesterday, and the aspen are at their peak right now - just gorgeous!
The rain we got on Tuesday brought snow to the mountains above tree line, and it was beautiful, too!
LeeAnna's question of the week is about our learning styles. In thinking about that this week, I guess that I am a combination of things. In college, I took notes in class, and then re-read and highlighted them at home, and when studying for a test, I read them out loud to myself. So - a combination of visual and auditory learning.
As a quilter, I do a combination of things, too, when trying out a new pattern or quilt block. I read and re-read the pattern, take notes, plan out the fabric choices, talk myself through making a trial block - sometimes out loud! I imagine many of you do much the same thing.
These are my notes and preparations for
mmmquilts' Beothuk Star QAL from a few years ago.
