strange omen
This has been an unusual weekend to say the least. Eliott found this bird on the parkway, and carried it all the way home on a stick. After Steve and I calmed down at the thought of it flying all around our house, he brought it on the porch. It was very docile, just sort of sitting …
really delicious spring flowers
So we have had some pretty wonderful spring showers the last few days, but yesterday it cleared and warmed up a little bit. So yesterday we went down to the parkway. We did a little intense searching for morels. Even though we knew where to look, it still took us a while to see. Then, …
Easter vigil
So like the women at the tomb, I am having a day of waiting, which always puts me at loose ends. We always participate in a big Easter breakfast our church, so I am waiting and praying a little that it will all go off without a hitch ( and without too much of my …
finished apron skirt
Yes! I made this yesterday. I was particullarly proud because I have been very sick all week with a head cold. But yesterday, I just barely well enough to make this. Patti had given me a gift card to the fabric store for Christmas this year and this was one of the fabrics I bought. …
corneal abrasion

advice

traveling man
So, here he is- on his way. Our first Christmas without our boy. I guess what my friend says is true: he’s now a young man. He’s going to see his California family. The excitement he had getting on the bus was only matched by his grandma’s excitement when we called to let her know …
thankful and pinned
Happy Thanksgiving! I only have Thursday off this year, but I had a great morning talking to my mom and pin basting this first small quilt. I did a little hand stitching around the hexagon. I tried tying some of it, but it didn’t seem right. I will have to spend some time looking at it …
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Happy Birthday, Mom! I totally had to steal this photo of my mom from my SIL, Missy’s, website: Mommy’s Little Peanuts. This is my favorite picture I have of my mom that is current. She is smiling and holding her littlest grandchild, Seth. Missy takes such great pictures. Anyway, today is my mom’s birthday. My mom is …
sick
I have picked up a terrible sinus cold this weekend. I have spent most of the weekend laying in bed thinking about things I would rather be doing. I looked at my angel quilt and pinned a few scraps to it while I was laying in bed. I spent a lot of times looking at some …
