EENIE MEENIE MINEY MOE

Seems I keep a revolving and evolving 'to hook' list.  Some have gotten hooked and removed from the list and new ones added.  This first one has been on and off that list for many years.  But am now considering it again.

The original antique of this next one has a border.  But if I hook it will remove the busy border and hook just this part.

Here's the whole rug, so you can see what I mean about removing the border.  There is plenty to look at without it.

This red horse rug was recently found so went on the list.  Janice liked it too.

More red horses to consider and love that background.  There are many old horse rugs using red.  Perhaps because the use of worn out long johns were available plus the natural dyeing using poke berries.

I love this antique Blue Nose pattern.  Look at the wild eye.  Like a mustang stallion warning the other stallions to stay away from his harem.

Even tho there isn't a horse in the rug below I'm still enamored with this design.

If I choose the rug below I'd move the end borders closer to the inside and perhaps even make the horse larger.  Or maybe it would be too much  trouble so would choose another horse design, lol.

The last couple days have been hot as hades. This is a pic of the thermostat on Thursday.  When I snapped the photo it was 108 but don't know  if it went higher after that.

I forgot to take a photo of the thermostat yesterday although it was another hot day.  But did get a photo of the even higher temps today July 4th.  You  can see that it reached a high of 113 and it was humid as being in a steam room.  And yeah, I turned down the AC one degree to help save on electricity.

Happy Birthday America!
