OMG for July

Pike River at Hawthorn Hollow 
It was a beautiful Fourth of July.   I visited the Hawthorn Hollow nature preserve to do some fieldwork for my next newspaper column.   

Back home, instead of writing, I mowed the lawn.

 We spent the afternoon out on the patio reading.  (I am concentrating on the ARCs (advance reader copies) I shipped home from ALA Midwinter in January -- because I've got stacks of new ARCs from ALA Annual!)

Butterfly Weed and Coreopsis at Hawthorn Hollow



 In the studio:  I've finished the strips of 2" squares that I showed in yesterday's post.  Assembling the quilt top is my One Monthly Goal for July.   I'll add this post to the OMG linkup here .

  2. Going to a nature preserve is a great way to spend a holiday. Your garden is beautiful. Your checkerboard squares are coming along nicely.

  4. Reading and quilting -- does it get any better than that? Do you write reviews for any of the librarian journals? I can only think of Booklist and School Library Journal now.
