It is so early the flag is still in the shadows.  There is just the slightest hint of a breeze.  It is the Fourth of July. 

 
Quincey saw the camera and decided he needed to leave the room immediately.  I tried to reassure him that I did not need him for the picture but he thought it best to leave immediately. 

I have finished the shaping for both the armhole and the front neckline.  There are about 20 more rows left.  Potentially I could finish this front piece today. 

I have resumed work on my little Quaker motif.  It will become the front of a needlebook.  It does seem fitting to work on it during the Fourth of  July. 


Another project for the day is a cherry pie for dinner.  We picked the cherries from the tree and assumed there would only be enough for a cobbler.  After I had pitted them, I was surprised to discover that we had a little over five cups.  That is definitely a pie.
