The Old Man is Snoring



Thank you all for your comments and suggestions about the wool quilt. I do want to clean it. I'll let you know when I have some results. Wouldn't it be neat as part of the background for a fall family photo!


It's still raining here. We had an inch yesterday, and so far an inch and a half, today. I hope my garden can take it. I did have a lovely fungus growing in the kids' patch this week, which I dug out. Perhaps all this moisture will bring more interesting growth.


On the quilt front, I am working on a bunch of brown sawtooth stars. All the flying geese patches are done, so on to the easier steps. I hope to get all the blocks done by tomorrow night.

Well, I'm off to rescue the fellas. They all went on a walk to Grandpa's and are now stuck in the rain!

    I like your sawtooth stars. We've been lucky here - thunderstorms almost every day but they pass quickly and the rest of the day has been sunny.

    I just love browns! They are such a great neutral, and those stars look awesome!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
