Heavy Fog

Thursday we had such heavy/dense fog that I couldn’t see the trees along our creek, less than 1/4 of a mile away.  So I had to cancel my plans to visit a friend 2 1/2 hrs away.  Sad.   We’ve rescheduled so I get to anticipate another trip soon.  :) Friday was still foggy but [...]

It’s Fall!

I’m not a fan of this season or the next but here are some photos I’ve snapped lately of life around here. The dirt in the air from the farmers working the fields makes for stunning sunsets!  I’m loving the fountain grass – thanks to K & JP for ‘getting’ me some a few years [...]

Last Saturday, we got hit with a flurry of short but powerful storms!  JP was gone at motorcycle classes and they had to go in a few times for lightning.  Thankfully they missed the hail.  We didn’t.  :( These are from the front yard, I’m hiding under the protection of the porch!

Sunday

I’ve not had a sore throat (much, just 2 hrs worth) today. I finished one quilt and barely started another.  A long struggle to piece the backing.  I do not like getting backings ready.  This fabric had been saved for this quilt.  I don’t know why it wasn’t enough! Phil replaced the damaged rails on [...]

She did venture outside today…. found her car…. She’s pretty sure this is hers… it is where she parked it last night.  ;)   Just kiddin’… she knew her license plate number. K got home last night OK but it took a bit longer with everyone driving slower.  So glad she was in and had [...]

I Took A Walk….

  And have a ton of photos for you!  :)   Phil had gotten the tractor as far as the house.  After helping JP, he & I took the tractor to the end of the lane. Phil’s hog buyer called and rescheduled his Thursday pick-up for Saturday.  That is good as he wasn’t sure he [...]

Morning Photos Blizzard 2011

As daylight came and Phil headed out…. The highest drift in front of the finishing building (above) goes to the TOP of the windows! When he opened the door… a wall of snow! The snow came in every crack or crevice. It is still blowing!   This is the front of the garage!   I [...]
