What makes a good day for me? Well, most days are good days really, but you know how some days at the end of it you just think "ahhh, what a lovely, lovely day"? That was what I felt last night at bedtime.

And this is what we have to work with.

We will search out a solid green today when we go into town and then every other navy one in the picture below will actually be a green. We think...it depends if he wants the solids to run in the same colour diagonally or if he wants them to run the same across rows. Too many choices! I can see that deciding on the pattern might be the trickiest part of quilting for me. I don't do well with too many choices.

We spent our whole day just puttering at home. I had a good chat over the phone with a wonderful friend and then started making a simple dinner while the boys played with their friend. We had lots of zucchini so I made the
Disappearing Zucchini Orzo again from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Amanda, you should try it, it's true that it has zucchini but...you don't even know it's there...it's disappearing. ;-)

The plums are ripening on the tree so it was finally time to make my favourite September pie.

And then, I topped off all this goodness with
Northanger Abbey. I'm not sure how things could get any better. ;-)
