I Like Thursday 49
Somehow, the days just fly by. How can it be time for my I Like Thursday 49 post? Thursdays are a fun day with LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color and the rest of my quilting friends who enjoy sharing fun things throughout the week that make them smile. LeeAnna lists our whole gang over on her blog, and we’d love to have you visit each of us!
I like the WordSwag app that lets me play with photos like the one above. Connie, Sally and I had a little outing on Monday, stopping at a quilt shop (I behaved!!) and at this pumpkin stand. While I didn’t buy any pumpkins or gourds, I took some photos and now I’m using them while I play with the app.
I like my hydrangea tree with its beautiful fall blush. It has filled out so nicely this year.
I like interesting books. Carolyn Porter is a Minnesota author and graphic designer from White Bear Lake. One day while visiting an antique shop in Stillwater, MN, she bought some letters because she wanted to use the handwriting to design a font. The letters, written in French, were sent from Berlin to someone in Paris. How did the letters end up in Stillwater, MN? I haven’t read far enough to tell you, but we – BigJ asked me to read it to him – are enjoying it so far.
The Weekly Wilbs
Will ya quit stickin’ that camera in my face already??!! Wilbs is chilling on our bed, his favorite place to nap during the day. Typical cat, eh?
I Like Thursday 49 will be my last ILT post until October 8th. I’ll be taking a break from posting while I sneak away for a bit. I’ll be back with some fun photos, hopefully full of pretty fall colors!

Beautiful hydrangea! Does Wilbur mind when you leave on trips? I have one that sits in the suitcase when I start packing. I’m looking forward to your fall color photos. Have fun!
Dreamworthy quilts
It took me a minute to find where to comment on my phone. Found it.
I am so off to get tjat text app! I love it! The hydrangea is beautiful!
Quilting is in my Blood
I’ve gotten that look from my cats too! What a lovely hydrangea. It reminds me of my childhood home where we had a few bushes in the backyard. Enjoy your time!

have a good time away. I should pick some of my hydrangeas and put them in a vase – they look like yours – they might be pretty inside but I wonder if they fall apart fast if you bring them in the house
Nancy Bekedam
Yes, your hydrangea is looking beautiful!!! That book sounds locally interesting!!!

That’s a pretty hydrangea. Ours are looking pretty faded for the year. Looks like Wilbur has the same problem with the pawpawrazzi that my kitties have.

I was wondering about the pumpkin photo! That is so cool! Enjoy your time away! Refresh and recharge!

Those hydrangeas are really lovely. And I love Wilbs- so uninterested. Have a great break and we’ll be here when you get back!
Rochelle SUMMERS
Thank you for such an interesting post. Those pumpkins are lovely as is your hydrangea bush. The book looks interesting,…has it been translated to English? And Wilbs: “Hurry up and take that photo, if you must.” Enjoy your trip.

Hi Wendy! Thanks for the Wilbs photo even if you were disturbing him. Enjoy your vacay away from posting. I love the photo of all of those pumpkins and gourds. You have a great eye for taking photos like that. {{Hugs}} Behave! ~smile~ Roseanne

So glad you’re getting a getaway! Enjoy! I love that pumpkin picture at the top – did the app help you put the words onto the picture? Beautiful hydrangeas, and that book does sound interesting. Love Wilbur’s expression!

Pretty hydrangea. Enjoy sneaking away!

The book sounds very intriguing! Enjoy your break and the fall weather!

Enjoy your trip away, wherever it takes you. I have a hydrangea tree that usually looks just like that, but this year, the leaves and flowers are all very small. I’m worried it may have a disease. It’s 30 years old and I’d hate to lose it. See you in October.
quiltedblooms
The hydrangea is so pretty! Enjoy your break! Checking out that app too.
Mary
That’s a lot of gourds. Great photos and I love the hydrangeas.
Sandra Walker
My Rocco has the same sentiments as Wilbur when it comes to cameras… I’ve been enjoying the beautiful blush of hydrangeas around here too, and of course, the pumpkins and gourds and all things Fall!
Mary Ann Hentschell
Thanks for the tip on the book. I love reading historical fiction. I already found it on Amazon. survivor972002@midco.net

Enjoy your vacay! I guess that means from the sistas too! The pumpkins shot is perfect! Wilbs is adorable as always.
Cheree Hull
Love all those gourds! I have that app but never think to use it. Apparently we have similar book tastes–keep us posted on this one, I might want to read it too. (I did finish the Gown, btw!)
Kathy Swallows
Sounds like a fun trip with the girls. Enjoy your time away from the blog.
