What a week!

Today I hope is the last day injury to me myself and I! There was the fall tripping over the carpet edge in the lanai while dodging Murphy.
Then while slicing radishes on the mandolin... a small chunk of my finger went and so did the radish! Lisa was quick to wrap it for me...good nurse.
Then  while walking Murphy he crossed in front of me and in a tangle...let's just say matching scraped knees. This morning as I was attempting to rescue Lisa's belt to her robe I now have matching elbows. There is a pattern here.... but I won't mention any dogs name! Lisa told me to just sit this afternoon while she is working.
I just can not stay angry with this lover boy. This is the view looking down while sitting in my rocking chair.... love him, to pieces ❤Some of the fault is with me not being more attentive. We will have a solution...just spoke with Jolie at PetSmart to enroll Murphy in classes to start in February...goodness, that is just about a week away….He knows "sit, out, walk and treat" now we need stay stop and no barking at the other dog. I told him that is no way to make friends and have play dates!
Since my finger has healed enough to sew....
 Had to take the picture in 2 parts....There are 6  center flowers and then the edge flowers...my own idea to finish the runner. It measures just 14 1/2 x 60 inches. 

Loved making this. I definitely will be making more with this pattern. The back is the same as the sides. Next week on one of Lisa's days off we will make the Burrito Pillowcase from the kit we bought.
In a day or so, we will be enjoying our first tomato from the kitchen garden. Several others are already yellow. Keeping a certain pooch out of this garden has been a challenge. Did I mention we will be putting fencing around the planted areas? He spends time daily pruning anything growing....
Well, I figured while things are quiet around here it would be a good time to post. Mornings seem to get away from me. I am still walking with Murphy 3 times a day and have lost some weight  and my blood pressure is down. It has been so nice to chat with you today. I must try to return to more frequent posting. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
