What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I knew many of you would be inquiring about Skeet. Does he like it here? He's probably wondering what took us so long to bring him here. LOL.He's by our side each and every dayHe's made a new friend in the resident gopher that lives just off the deck. DH has named him "Pockets" and Skeet is absolutely transfixed by him. Each morning as we linger over tea and coffee, he lasers in

Living in the desert SW, heat is expected, but oye!Even the kitties are wilting I'm ready for Fall! Almost every morning for the last 3 weeks, you can find me here at 5:30. DH has been working with a couple of horses and time in the arena is part of their education.We usually spend about 2 hours first thing in the morning trying to beat the heat of the day.Monday evening we had a welcome shower

I'm not any busier than any of you, and I seem to keep up with everything, but somehow I can't manage to post on a regular basis. So after neglecting my blog for 10 days, the things I intended to write about pile up and you get a hodge-podge post with lots of odds and ends.We made an overnight roadtrip for a bull sale a few weeks agoThen, one day I drove to a quilt shop in the mountains for an

When the kids were here Memorial weekend, it began to rain. Our girl is in Oklahoma and I don't think they've dried out in 3 years. They are sick of the rain.

We had snow and ice and wind for 5 days and one morning with rolling power outages, but not a big deal. We have a gas stove, lanterns, and plenty of quilts.

To say I've enjoyed being home would be an understatement. It's been SO good to be home! We've been busy, but  our days are filled with blessings. Here's a recap of our week. I didn't intend for this post to be so long, but try as I might, I can't seem to get a quick daily post written so you get it all at once. Sorry! Just know this did not all take place on one day. We're busy, but not THAT

DH had an elk hunt this past weekend. He really enjoys hunting and we always look forward to adding to our winter meat supply, but it's like passing an act of Congress for him to get away and this time of the year is especially difficult and he's already plumb wore out. We're in the middle of our fall Cow Works. We just finished most of the beef cattle - still have some in December and we'll be

We had another little winter storm blow through on Tuesday night: And although it was 24°, I bundled up just after 6 and headed out to soak in a little of the crisp air as Wednesday dawned: It was absolutely still and serene - a beautiful way to begin the day Skeet is always game for an early morning adventure                         And the horses were slowly ambling in from the
