I went for a swim at the gym's pool tonight. I love swimming on Friday nights. I had all seven lanes to myself for ten glorious laps. I watched the prairie sunset through the tall windows and the orange reflection on the still water in front of me. I only heard the sound of my breath in my ears and the bubbles going by. I looked at the lane lines, the square pool tiles, the plus sign design in the tiles, the glass panes of the windows and the ripples of the water and it all made me think of quilt designs. Then I remembered this quilt and that single orange square....
After those ten laps, another gentleman came to swim in the lane next to me. I did the rest of my workout, but it wasn't quite the same. By the time I left the sky was getting dark. I'm already looking forward to next Friday....

Special Request
I've had a couple of requests lately for Henry photos on the blog. It has been quite awhile. He's much harder to capture on pixels now that he is constantly moving. (He was outside in his pajamas at 9pm tonight, trying to shovel the driveway--despite no snow and 60˚ weather and past bedtime.) Also, the poor guy has been off and on sick for six. lousy. weeks. now. I hope that next week can start a l-o-n-g fever-free, doctor-free, antibiotic-free time for him.
Anyway, I caught some still-ish moments last weekend.
And Ben and I took him swimming on Sunday.
Alright. Now that the Henry fix is taken care of, it is back to craft posting tomorrow.
