I'm stitching away at a crib quilt. I always say, "I don't have enough time to hand-quilt it; I'm just going to do it on the machine," but 90% of the time I find myself stitching by hand anyway. Why do I do it? I guess there's something therapeutic about placing each stitch, even if … Continue reading Quilting and Lightning

Recent Storm Photos
This first set is from last night's storm to the SW of us. I was lucky in that it was nearly stationary for the 2 hours I stalked it. The people under it were not quite so lucky. Some photos from previous days:

The morning started with thunderstorms: We attended Liturgy at St. Athanasius Greek Orthodox Church in Gulf Shores. Everyone was so welcoming, especially Fr. Sasa. I hope if you're in the area over a weekend you'll attend. They were celebrating the leave-taking of the Elevation of the Cross so everyone was given basil from the cross … Continue reading Sunday
O Gladsome Light
You wouldn't believe how many pictures I took of the sunset last night. I had the opportunity for a solitary walk on the beach and took photos to my heart's content. A trio of small planes flew off into the sunset and then back again (I shared those photos last night). A thunderstorm had drifted … Continue reading O Gladsome Light
