1.made or done without previous preparation: an impromptu address to the unexpected crowds.
Sugarbaby was taking a cheesemaking class with other homeschoolers. While that may sound exciting and delicious (which it was!),
the day was filled with unplanned (or shall we say, impromptu?) activities
which made it the great day that it was!

Today, Sugarbaby, Nature Boy and I packed up the car with books, lunch, and snacks and headed out
to a quaint little village about 45 minutes away from home.
Sugarbaby was taking a cheesemaking class with other homeschoolers. While that may sound exciting and delicious (which it was!),
the day was filled with unplanned (or shall we say, impromptu?) activities
which made it the great day that it was!
While Sugarbaby sat with the goat farmer and the other kids in the kitchen,
Nature Boy and I explored the village and of course, we took our cameras along!
We spotted huge jack-o-lanterns...
unusual berries/nuts on trees...
a newt (how does Nature Boy always find these?!)...
and for some of you who know me well...
old houses...
Be still my heart!
After the class was done,
we headed home...
But on the way, we made an unplanned stop
(or shall we say, impromptu?)

But on the way, we made an unplanned stop
(or shall we say, impromptu?)
at a pond (though it looked like a lake to me!)
which we have passed before!
No one was there but us...
and we passed some time...
along the shore...
exploring....
and gasping in delight...
at its beauty...
All this thinking about going with the flow..
making without previous preparation...
made me realize that my latest quilt was just that...
improvised...
without any prior plan/sketch/idea of how it would turn out...

Impromptu!!!
The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.
Love this so much! It's so....YOU!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great photos! And a great quilt! Terrific work on both!
ReplyDeleteYou have a picture in this collection that reminds me of my daughter's collection of bird skulls. She found them in many different places, kind of like Natureboy and newts. They became a reminder of many wonderful nature walks. Unfortunately I still have all of them and they number around 20. No live birds were damaged in the collection, only skulls were collected.
ReplyDeleteI like impromptu...and when I take a chance and go that way, I am usually always very happy. Love your photos...
ReplyDeleteWonderful wonderful post! Great pics, and awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery appropriate name for a fun quilt!
