No Man is an Island

'No Man is an Island' No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Olde English Version No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

NP - Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon in May can be REALLY cold.  Andi can attest to that.  It snowed and our tent collapsed with her inside.  Not her first trapped in a tent adventure!!

The views here are stunning!

The Hungry Caterpillar

 Shopping in Covid for quilt materials led me to some fun new stores.  One had a large collection of Hungry Caterpillar materials which inspired two baby quilts.  The first I've given to the new baby next door.  The one for a little boy is waiting for a home.

CSB - Natural Bridges and Monarch Butterfly Nature Preserve

Natural Bridges was my go to reflection site during the time I was at UC Santa Cruz.  The ensuing years have added a bit more structure no more sitting on the rocks!

Made by Alexis

 Alexis designed this quilt and mainly pieced it together, with just a little help on the awkward parts.  It was quilted by Grammy for her!
