I set my 1840s rug aside to hook up
a facsimile of my friend’s dog for her
60th next Sunday.
“Willie Nelson” is about 10”x5” and will
be a wall hanging.
(I’m going to work more on his eyes.)
Willie came up from NC with 10 other unwanted dogs.
Eastern Canada has a shortage of dogs for adoption so the
dogs found homes quickly.
My friend was so pleased to find him;
they’re a good couple!
I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies-
added oatmeal to half as hubby can’t have it.
I took some to another friend who turns 81 today.
Her bigger gift was a load of garden dirt.
This friend is both blind and deaf and has
the greenest thumb of anyone I know.
Imagine!
Eastern Canada has very low crime rate but
a few days ago a man was murdered in the
park across the street from us and
news about the Nova Scotia killings proliferate
the airways today.
I can’t listen too much.
But I pray for the families and friends.
I pray for the earth.
May we all live in the miracle of life
And the beauty and sounds of Spring!

Willie Nelson is looking quite handsome and you're doing a great job. Your friend will be so pleased but don't be surprised if she cries from happiness and friendship.
Yes, I heard about that killing on the news this morning and so sad for any senseless death.
Willie is looking pretty fine. and your cooking sounds lovely. What a nice gift to the friend with the green thumb.
How much sadness there is of course there is no answers on why as he is gone. I am keeping them all in my prayers. I too have stopped listening to the news after the morning update.
I found it did me no good to hear of it all day.
stay safe and healthy

What a wonderful rug for a friend. She will love it! So sad about the murder spree.. We did here about it all the way from Michigan. So sad. Janice
Willie Nelson sure is a cutie and I'm sure your friend will be thrilled.
How wonderful that there is a shortage of adoptable dogs in eastern Canada. Sure wish we had that problem where I live in Ohio.
Happy birthday to your friend.
Prayers to all those affected by the mass shooting. So tragic.
That is a wonderful rug and gift, she will love it.
It is sad about the shooting and the state the world is in now, I try to stay away from news lately, it just gets to be too much.

Willie is adorable. Prayers for all affected by the shootings.
Your Willie mat is awesome! Beautiful hooking!
I was so shocked to hear what happened in NS...after I listened to the report, I exclaimed...."That was in Canada?!?!?"....I could not believe it....such a peaceful country....
Hugs!
