According to some folks in Houston, Texas, the lazy, hazy, crazy days - day - of summer is this Saturday, August 12th. That's the day of a 5K race... or lazy stroll. Houston in August. It will be hot and humid. [Image from 1Canoe2 Instagram.] Saturday is also National Sewing Machine Day – which would make it the perfect day for making Block 23 of the Blockheads. Except it seems like everybody wants the pattern now so they can make it right away! Are you like that?
