| Monarch Butterfly |
At least, I think it is a monarch butterfly. This photograph was taken earlier in the month, on the 20th anniversary of my mother's death. I started to write a post on that day, but, didn't get beyond the first sentence and later, I deleted it.

We had more rain on Thursday, but, it cleared in the early evening. I had spent most of the day mending my quilt and watching online videos and news. Later in the evening, I watched some of the Olympics coverage.

Friday was a sunny day and, once again, I spent a good part of the day mending my quilt and watching online videos. I also watered the indoor plants. The rose cuttings I took didn't survive and I tossed them. We will try again in the summer. Gardener friend M was here to tend to the garden in the evening and he bought me a bag of potting soil and a bag of fruit tree fertilizer. He weeded under the peach tree and fertilized it.
Later in the evening, I cooked a chicken curry, sauteed curried cabbage, and rice for dinner. I also made chocolate pudding (from a mix) for dessert.

| The First Daylily |
Saturday was another sunny day. I did some "random acts of cleaning" and vacuumed the filters of the air purifiers - something which should be done on a regular basis, but, I haven't been doing. Later, I vacuumed the living room and the dining area. Daughter vacuumed part of the family room and cleaned her bathroom.
I made French toast for brunch and we had rice, sauteed curried cabbage, beef curry, and peach chutney for dinner.
I am grateful for:
- Butterflies and flowers
- Memories of my mother
- M's help with the garden
- Rain and sunshine
- Peaceful days
My joyful activities have included spending time in the garden, mending my quilt, watching videos and the Olympics games, and spending time with my daughter.
I've no special plans for Sunday. Daughter will be spending the day out with her friends doing escape rooms. I will continue to mend my quilt, do some reading and watch the Olympics Closing Ceremony.

| Torn Quilt |
Just one of the quilt patches that are torn. The fabric that is torn was one of my stepfather's old shirts. I am replacing each torn patch with a new patch handsewn over it. The pieces are 1 inch by 3 inches. The smallest pieces are 1 inch square.
