What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Don't let that title fool you. It's all good. I'll tell you what I meant by that in a minute. First off...it's wet outside. The promised rain has returned. It's supposed to be a wet weekend, but sunny by Monday. That's weather I can live with, but I expect it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We haven't even reached winter yet, my friends, although it might feel as if it's here to many of you.

So when we left off yesterday ...

Good morning, my friends. It's been raining almost steady here for the past several days. During a lull in the downpour yesterday, I opened the door for the kitties and noticed all the leaves and pine needles littering our deck.

Here's how it looked yesterday.

Sad, isn't it? It's been a beautiful fall season, and we've enjoyed some decent weather well into the month of November. I'm afraid that's over now, and we'll settle into our web-footed ...

Good morning, my friends, and happy Saturday. It was a busy day here yesterday. I had a little time for slow-stitching in the morning. I stitched enough on this Red Barn piece to decide to move my hoop to the right.

From there, we dropped Mike's truck off for some service and had breakfast at a very luxurious breakfast spot. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you even have one where ...

Good morning, my friends. We had a relatively nice day of weather yesterday. It's getting colder though. I donned my winter woolies and got out early to cut back the dahlias. And that brings my 2024 gardening efforts to a close. It's up to Mike now to load the pots into the bucket of the tractor and move them to the garage. (I've never actually tried picking them up, but apparently, the pots are heavy.) 

While I was out, I took a few pictures of our fall color. Just two trees have enough leaves left to make ...

Good morning, my friends. There were quite a few things on my to-do list yesterday morning. I was able to move most of those things to a different day. I still made a short trip into town to run an errand, but then I settled myself into a comfy chair and spent most of my day stitching. 

Embroidery was at the top of my list when I finished yesterday's post. When I went downstairs to get started, I found the kitties discussing whether Smitty's purrtection detail was still necessary.

Good morning, my friends. Two projects made it to the next step yesterday. I'll tell you about that in a minute. First, I want to show you this morning's pretty sky. We're expecting rain by tomorrow, and so we're enjoying the blue sky while we can.

Good morning, my friends. My wrist was begging for a day off from quilting, and so I relented. Actually, my wrist was just an excuse. We were slow off the blocks yesterday to do our grocery shopping. After finishing yesterday's post, I went downstairs to where Mike was sitting. "We don't have to rush out the door, do we?" he asked. And that was all the whining I needed to hear to help me decide to do my slow-stitching first. So, we weren't home until after 1:30 p.m. We found the kitties sitting in solidarity ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a grocery shopping day today, and so I'm writing fast again. Also, we'll be dropping off our ballots at the nearest ballot box. Vote, my friends. It's important, but you probably already know that. Won't you be glad when this election is over?

Smitty's morning was rough yesterday. We needed to give him a second dose of worming medication. He got the first dose when he visited the vet two weeks earlier. We wrapped him up in a towel and force-fed him a small syringe of the stuff. It ...

Good morning, my friends. I think we're heading into a mostly dry day. It was mostly dry yesterday as well. I mention this because it seems as if I have a small window of opportunity to cut back the peonies for the season. Mike is going to drive the tractor around to where they're growing so that I can put the clippings into the bucket. Yesterday, he was able to burn three big burn piles that had accumulated over more than one year. The fire was hot, and everything is burned to a pile of ash now. I ...

Good morning, my friends. Happily, I'm sitting at my desk at home to write this post. How are y'all doing? It's been a while since we've spoken while stationary. Feels weird, doesn't it?

So lemme tell you about the drive home, and then I'll tell you what's going to happen next. We left Klamath Falls under sunny skies. The road out of Klamath Falls runs alongside Upper Klamath Lake. It's the largest body of fresh water by surface area in Oregon. It is approximately 25 miles (40 km) long and 8 miles ...
