Too Hot !!!

It is July 3rd and the planes are flying overhead preparing for the annual 4th of July celebration. We have several Air Force personnel who fly over the river near our home in formation to signal the start of the Fireworks Display here. Unfortunately, we are experiencing very high temperatures and have been for the past few days. It is expected that we will reach 100 degrees sometime this afternoon. Added to that misery is that our lawns are quite brown and we have not seen, nor expect to see rain until well into next week. Due to that fact, I am not outdoors today, but have decided to spend some time in the glass shop. As I listen to them fly overhead, I am in my basement working on glass twirlers to be auctioned off for our church to raise money for the NICU unit in a nearby hospital. These twirlers are anywhere from 6 inches to 12 inches in diameter and when completed can be placed on a porch or in front of a French door or window. What makes them twirl is a gadget you might find in a fishing tackle box. Any pattern can be used to make these little beauties and the subject matter is only limited by your own imagination. Since I live in Green Bay Packer Country, I will be making quite a few of these to auction off. To satisfy other possible bidders, I have added several different kinds of flowers, birds, dogs, angels, and assorted other themes to each circle. I always like to contribute to the community in any way I can and the profits certainly go to a great cause!
