Lazy, hazy day

Well the wildfire smoke finally made it our way. Can't even see the mountains right behind us. (started writing this a couple of days ago.) Everything outside is kind of yellowish brown. Got the air purifier turned up to Turbo inside here. Hopefully tomorrow the wind will change directions. Bill took the drone up - when looking west it usually can clearly see all of The Strip and the mountains in that direction. Today can not see any thing. When he zooms in can barely see a big white building/roof. That is only a few blocks from us on Boulder Highway. Nothing beyond that. 

I have all the pieces on my project. Now I start the interesting party. Putting in details with stitching. Just have to remember how to set up my sewing machine for free motion quilting/sewing. 

(today) Have not done much on the quilt. Did the big green plant then decided I needed to think more about how to do things. Still thinking...
I did get to watch three NASCAR races over the weekend. Road course races make for interesting racing. Also saw on the news that our favorite soccer player, Messi is not going to be playing for Barcelona any more. That was a shock.
What a difference a day makes. Bill took this yesterday, most of the smoke was gone. Some of it is back today, but the wind is supposed to pick up from the south by tonight. Should blow most of it away.
We went to WalMart very early this morning, spent more time there then we expected. Could not find anything. All the store is being changed around. I guess they stopped ordering items or just stopped stocking the shelves. Shelf after shelf empty. Big signs on them saying not to put items as they were going to be moved. Did not make shopping easy.
Every one had on masks, no mask, no enter. 
Our son just came by and set us up with Netflix. So guess I'll spend some time looking around to see what is there. 
That's all there is to write about.

Think your street scene is going to be beautiful - you are a detail person.
Sorry the smoke is all around you. I feel very bad for British Columbia, Canada friends who are living in dense smoke and have been for weeks now. Praying for rain for them and for us, too, very dry here with the grass turning brown and straw like.
Thanks for sharing your photos.
