staying cool and quilting

My exuberant hands needed time to heal so I did not spend much time in my garden this last week.  It was also very hot but most of the time it hurt to do anything with my hands, including letting them rest.

I did finish the quilting on this quilt.  I would plug in an audio book and sit in front of the air conditioning and stitch.  It was a great way to cool down after my bicycle rides home.

It has just gotten to the point of the year in Houston where all you can say is it hot.  I cannot complain because we have had a cool spring and summer up until this point.  But I know by the first of September I will be ready for cooler weather.  I may actually be ready for cooler weather in mid August but there is some traveling going on early in August that may help my state of mind. 

Time for binding!
