A Little Flooding

We didn't have flooding like we did in 2020, but while I was working on Janice's quilt yesterday, and during a particularly heavy deluge of rain, I noticed the smell of sewage. This is what the backyard looked like... 

The pump quit running

When the pump runs too long, it overheats and then shuts itself down. Thus, the nasty smell because things start backing up into the house pipes. 

Jim came home for a late lunch and dealt with this horrible mess/project. 

Meanwhile, I was able to get half of Janice's huge quilt quilted and who says edge to edge can't be pretty?

Lots and bunches of paisley

This is today's main focus. I have a customer coming to drop off later this morning but that's not going to infringe on this too much. It's really nice being able to drive the machine and do some free motion without being so restrictive. A nice change of pace if you will.

Jim's mom is still hanging in there. Thank you for all of your well wishes on the phone. Quilters truly are the best people!
