What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Hopefully, you're wearing your green this morning. I haven't decided on today's wardrobe, but it will definitely include my Irish socks from actual Ireland.

It's going to be a kitchen day here. I like to get my Irish up for St. Patrick's Day, and so I'm making an Irish themed dinner tonight. We'll have some Irish Brown Bread...a new recipe to me, so I hope it's good. That'll go with our Irish Beef Stew. For dessert we'll have these Bruleed Key Lime Tarts. I made ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a very nice day here yesterday. It's still too chilly to be outside, but the sunshine was very nice. It gave me a chance to get out and take a look at what's what in the garden. Of course, the heather has been in bloom for a long time. We planted it because it is a winter bloomer.

Good morning, my friends. The sun is shining this morning. It seems a miracle! It's been at least a week since we saw the sun last time. My first job this morning will be to get outside and fill the bird feeders. Also, I know some of the daffodils are blooming, and so I'll want to wander around and find every blooming thing.

As for yesterday...it was another day of not-much-accomplished. I took the first stitches on September's block for "A Year in the Garden." 

And I made some progress on the Painted Ladies. I expect ...

It's been over 2 months since my last photo challenge post.  The new deck of photo prompts we are using are a lot more challenging then the previous two decks.  On the one hand, it's fun to have the challenge. On the other, some of them require specific conditions and very special set ups to capture.  That just takes more time and effort. Even My Guy struggled to get good shots for the last challenge card. 

I really tried the experimental approach and just didn't get anything photo worthy at all.  So as we often do in ...

Good morning, my friends. My post is late this morning because we left early for an epic grocery shopping trip. Honestly, it's the worst grocery shopping trip of the year...that's the first one after we get home from a trip. Thanksgiving gives it a run for its money, but today's was impressive by any measure. Our list was so long that I actually moved some items to the list for next time. Enough is enough, as you probably know.

There were two positives about this morning's shopping extravaganza. First, we got Egg McMuffin. I think ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to say we're home at the Three Cats Ranch this morning. We'd planned to spend the night in Grass Valley, Oregon. As I told my friends on Facebook, we arrived at the RV park at 2:00 p.m. The place was run-down and scary looking...as if it might be the lair of a serial killer. We'd both been thinking silently that we should just head for home. When we saw the RV park, it made the decision to continue on home an easy one.

Leaving Klamath Falls, we ...

Good morning, my friends. We find ourselves in Klamath Falls, Oregon, this morning. And YAY! We're not home yet, but at least we're in our home state. And forget everything I said yesterday. We had to spend a couple of hours yesterday morning rerouting ourselves when we heard there was a winter weather advisory for the Cascades and the Siskiyous. It will be hazardous trying to get across the mountain passes with that kind of weather, and so we've rerouted ourselves to head north to the Columbia Gorge and then head west toward home from there.

Good morning, my friends. We’re in a death march toward home, although with our new rule about driving shorter distances, it doesn’t feel as much like a death march. It’s more like a pleasant trot. We’ll head to Reno, Nevada, for today’s drive. There’s no particular reason for stopping in Reno, but it was a good amount of travel for a single day. It probably seems as if ending our day in Nevada would have us traveling in the wrong direction, but it makes sense when you realize that Nevada and Oregon share a ...

Good afternoon, my friends. As you can see from the title of this post, we've moved on from Death Valley. We left a day earlier than we'd planned. It was too darned hot there, and without electricity, we couldn't run our air-conditioner. We enjoyed seeing the wildflowers, and that was our reason for going. Having seen them, we decided to move along. We're heading for home now, taking four nights to get there. 

So, let's talk about our last day in Death Valley, shall we? We left our campsite and drove the short distance to ...
