Rainy day

We are having a nice rainy day here.  The grass and all the plants can really use it. I suppose the weeds will love it too. Good day to stay inside and hook or sew.

This is the first day of the Brimfield Flea market which is about 10 miles from my house. We usually go to almost every market but this year I'm waiting to have spine surgery next Monday. So I can't walk for very long. I'll be glad when it's over. I haven't been very active for the last year. Looking forward to getting back to normal.

Brimfield is so much fun. Many fields of dealers with lots of stuff to look at. People from all over the country and from other countries come to sell their goods.  Lots of antiques, some new things, garden ornaments.  Too much to list! Vendors have good food at the food court which is the front yard(big) of a motel. My favorite is a sandwich called the Pilgrim. It's turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all on a soft roll. Usually have to share it with my friend I shop with. I can't believe I don't have any pictures to share with you, but we're so busy looking for good bargains (which are few these days) that we don't think about a camera.

I do have pictures of our area here. At the end of our road is a small lake. It's called Beaver Lake. I thought I'd like to live on the lake but I'm pretty happy where I am now. Still looks good though.  Good fishing in it so I've heard.


Still raining here so guess I'll make a cup of tea and do a little cross stitch. I'm working on a "With thy needle and thread" pattern called House of Blues and Browns sampler pillow. It's stitched on a 22 count fabric. Easy on the eyes.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Take care  Jan
