What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I had intended to work my way up to this by posting a couple more posts showing the baby turkey vultures as they grew, and I will get back to that because I think they were just so interesting. But, I’m so excited about what is going on over there, that I’m just jumping right… Continue reading A Little Upgrade at the Ranch

July 5th, we went to the ranch and I took one of my older quilts with me to take some #quiltsinthewild pics with it. I hung it on this section of fence by the old garage, and as I knelt down to straighten the bottom corner by that little cedar tree, while my head was… Continue reading Summer Recap Continues with a Scare and a Fun Discovery

It has been a very busy past few days. We had some bad weather threats on Wednesday, and ended up with several people sheltering with us in our basement during two separate tornado warnings that were issued. Thankfully, all turned out well here. My husband went on his days off Thursday thru Sunday. Thursday, our… Continue reading How Does My Garden Grow?

While there, I got some pics of this finished Strip Mirage quilt I made for my great-nephew. The pattern… Continue reading Finished Strip Mirage Quilt

I was so tired when we got home from the ranch last night, but it was the good kind of tired. My husband, brother and I made the 2.5 hour trip to the monument company to pick up the marker for my parents’ gravesite, then the one hour drive from there to the ranch to… Continue reading It Was a Good Day

It was a busy day taking care of grandsons. I feel so blessed to have been able to take my retirement at my earliest eligibility from my job in criminal justice, and be able to be so involved in their lives while they are still so young. I never got to be a stay at… Continue reading Sunday Scenery, Part 2

Today, I thought I’d share some pictures I took while my mister and I were doing a little hiking on some family farm & ranch land I share with my brother and my cousin Dee. It belonged to our grandparents on Mom’s side. Someday soon I’ll try to write a longer post about it, but… Continue reading Sunday Scenery, Part 1
