Did you have a good Labor Day holiday? Mine was quiet and restful.
I worked in the garden on Sunday morning and began trimming bushes. The soil is just too hard and dry to do any effective weeding so I am pruning. It was a cool and productive morning.
But Monday everything was different. The bees appear frantic and aggressive. I can't remember the last time we had rain and I wondered if that and the cooler temps are making the bees that way.
That brings me to my only goal for 2026. I want to make a temperature quilt. I know that most people record the high and lows of the days. But I also want to record the days we have rainfall. Have you made a temperature quilt? I'm interested in any insights you might have before I begin.
I might make one like the one I found on this website (here).
Anyway, that is what I am researching when I am not caregiving these days.
Have a safe and happy day!
I think the temperature quilts are a great idea and I'm impressed with people who make one. Just remember, the more involved it becomes, the less chance it actually has being completed. I think there are a lot of started temperature quilts boxed away in quilters studios. Will you also record the snowfall amounts? Happy planning!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to record rainy days too. We didn't have any rain in July (our wettest month) and finally got some the 3rd week of August. But, it's back to being dry again. At least the temperatures are fairly mild.
ReplyDeleteI've often thought of doing this and have never pulled the trigger. I had thought to add precipitation to a temperature quilt as well, maybe with an extra circle in a medium blue for rainy days and a light blue for snow. Now I'm thinking of doing one to track my pain levels instead, so I can see a year in pain. Red for higher levels of pain, a soft, pale blue for low levels. It would be more meaningful for me. Maybe with a little note for myself with where I am as well, for example, today I am on the island of Tortola and my pain level is an 8. Tomorrow I'll be in St. Thomas and who knows what my pain level will be? (I got lucky, my husband won a Disney cruise, if I'm going to be in pain, it might as well be somewhere beautiful!)
