River's still rising

The James River is the highest it has been in 10 years. Too much rain. What a mess it is making!

You can't even see the no-wake sign. That is the ripple toward the center of the picture. There is a ton of logs built up in front of the gantry holding the floating pier. I have no idea how they will clean it out of there when the flood is done.

Yesterday morning

Normally there is a stone terrace on the other side of the river but even the trees on the other side are under water.  Ugh!

Last night.

You see the lights? That is the Capital Trail bicycle path between Richmond and Williamsburg. Totally under water. Ugh!

I ride this trail from home to work when it is warmer. No riding it right now, however!

They are going to have a lot of clean-up to do when the river goes down.

A Finish!

I am wiping my sweaty brow! I have a finish. 8 yards used.

Just in the nick nick nick of time.

I have finished my raveled edge jeans quilt yesterday. It was 15x11 blocks, 6-inches each. According to the Quilter's Paradise calculations, it used 8 YARDS! Woo Hoo!

I finished it and immediately took it to the coin laundry and washed and dried it. It looks so nice and raveled! DH just _loves_ it. I made in "man" colors.

Pictures will be taken later today.

Here it is before washing and adding the binding. I didn't like the way it was without the binding so I added a 3.5" strips of binding. O, I forgot to add that into the mix of the yardage count. 7-8 strips of 3.5". Humm.
