A visit, Legos, flowers and crafts

Last weekend our daughter came with her daughter for a weekend visit. Of course it rained both Saturday and Sunday, but we still had some fun both outdoors and indoors. 

When they arrived Friday afternoon it was sunny and we walked to one of the local playgrounds.

Saturday morning saw clouds and light sprinkles. I had a library pass for free entrance to Old Westbury Gardens where there was a LEGO installation. We all put on our raincoats and walked through the grounds.

 It became a treasure hunt for my granddaughter to find each LEGO sculpture. There were lily pads with a frog. 

A dragonfly. 

Birds on a feeder full of LEGO seed. 

A farmer and his granddaughter. 

A snail on a mushroom. 

A fox and some rabbits. 

 There was a proposal happening at this pavilion. We waited and then saw this hummingbird.

Finally, a butterfly. 

There were also a lawn mower, sundial and wheelbarrow that I did not include in these photos.

There were flowers to see too. 

 

That afternoon while it was raining my granddaughter and I made brownies. 

The rest of our visit we read books and played games. I sent my daughter home with these two outfits that I made for her when she was little that my granddaughter should be able to wear soon.

I didn’t work on my crafts at all for a few days. Nonetheless, Cinnamon House got a few more motifs. 

All of the granny square rows have been sewn together. The blanket just needs its border.

My Kousa dogwood is in full bloom now. 

I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Take some time to relax with a cup of tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!
