Check out the huge giveaway at the Quilted Fish!!  Quick and easy to enter.  I can't buy more fabric, but I maybe I will win some.  I sure need another kit.  Don't you............

In low places where the moisture stayed the corn is still green.  The tractor pulls the cutter, which chops the corn up into small pieces and shoots it back into the dump wagon.  The green and brown will mix together in the wagon.

What a crazy couple weeks!  Of course, being gone and coming home and getting sick have made things all pile up.  I am knee deep in cucumbers and tomatoes, which is a good thing.  You can see by the header the hot temperatures and high winds have dried the corn out badly.   I was all set for a grateful post about good health on Monday and it's Friday already.  Wow!   So................................

I have been fortunate since retirement to not be exposed to the daily germs of working with the public.  Although I've never been a sickly person, I ...

Please say a little prayer for Rocco. I know alot of you are animal lovers who are my blog friends.  Yesterday Rocco had a bad encounter with DH's cousin's dog.  Rocco's little eye is in bad shape.  We learned alot about veterinarians and small animals yesterday too.  We are asking for prayers for Rocco's eye and eye sight.  I am so thankful that it wasn't worse.  It could have been much worse.......................

Thanks so much, friends.  Hugs

A box of tissues has been my best friend today.   Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow.  :)

Christina is having a wonderful giveaway and a quilt along.  I said no more quilt alongs until I get my pinwheel and jelly roll quilts done.  This quilt along is just what I need to get the courage to quilt them.  Check out Christina's blog, she's a new one for me.

This was a quick ...

I tore the bedroom apart that doubles as my "sewing studio".  It has just been getting in worse and worse condition.  Things have become so unorganized that I don't even know what I have and don't have anymore.   I decided I can no longer stand it!!  I bought a book shelf and a shelf unit about a month ago.  I had the time to assemble them yesterday.  Today  I'm rearranging and organizing.   I'm looking forward to having a space to sew in that actually makes me feel like making something.  It will also help me overcome ...

I am still deciding on borders or no borders for my Pinwheel quilt.  I have the sashing all finished on it.  Rachel didn't do borders on hers, but I'm still deciding.  I think that is what makes me such a pokey quilter.  I have a ...

I made up my mind that August is going to be a productive quilting month. I spent every spare moment yesterday prepping BOM blocks. I did most of the cutting and tracing on dining room/kitchen table.  It was the coolest place to do it.  We are having a ...

I made a quick trip to a small town about 25 miles NE from the ranch for extra lunch supplies.  The combiners are coming to try our spring wheat.  I chose this town for shopping because the "Quilter's Corner" is having a 3 day Christmas in July event.  It is 98 degrees and the humidity feels like 98 too.  They were all decorated for Christmas, playing Christmas music and wearing Christmas aprons.  Darn-no camera.
There were lots of new Christmas fabrics, samples and kits.  Of course, I needed some things.  Isn't it our duty to support these small ...

We took the boat motor for a tune-up last week.  We took time yesterday to go and get it.  Michelle worked 6-2 at the living center, so she cruised with us.  BF Jared joined us later too.  This is the capitol building as seen from the Missouri River.  It was a gorgeous day on the water.  It has been a hot week of 100 degree days, but Sunday was 82 F with a light breeze.  The motor purrs now. 

The babies have arrived.  Peanut is such a good mom too.  Isn't this just the sweetest photo?

Thank you everyone for your nice comments.  I'm so glad no one "hated on" me for not getting her spayed in time.  It's a little different on the farm where cats are working animals too.  I totally understand the over population of pets in the cities.  I don't want over population in my house either!  Two cats and a dog were way more than I planned on already.

Now to the cute part...........Peanut had 5 little guys.  Three ...
