We got a little this morning, not a lot but any is welcomed. Late last week after Galen got through his 300 plus pictures he took while on the trip to the valley more plants were pulled out of the beds. It’s time. Now to get the support cages disassembled and put away until next Spring. We also need to transplant some Iris and get the new bulbs in the ground. Galen did spend the weekend trimming our one big bush out front. Needed too before the net lights go up. He will probably start on that later today and finish up tomorrow. We won’t turn them on yet but they will be done! We met Osie last T...

  Veterans Day 2024 I am late in getting this written.  Busy last week into today. We worked more in the yard  pulling some plants that were finished for the year. Cleaned out a raised bed.  Will work up the soil with some compost.  May plant a few cold weather plants- who knows? In honor of Veterans Day I am posting a picture of the 4 Marines in our family.  Somewhere is a picture of our 2 Army.  Need to find it.  Uncle Bob- WWII and cousin Bob- Vietnam. Uncle Ted, Aunt Dottie, cousin Irv and my Dad LeRoy.  Ted, Potties and Dad WWII. Irv- Vietnam. Galen has been in the valley yesterday and today, back home tomorrow.  My play time is over!!! Not really but have been spending more time sewing since I didn’t have to fix meals! I decided it was time to get the top Plot Twist done.  Wasn’t happy with the directions. Couldn’t see cutting and wasting all those pieces of fabric to even up the sides.  Have enough fabric scraps to use! ...

  Design Wall Monday and Other Musings   poodlegirls     cooking ,  Daily Happenings ,  Life at home ,  Quilting ,  Uncategorized     November 4, 2024   2 Minutes I mentioned last week about having a consultation for a Root Canal.  That was Tuesday afternoon.  After looking at X-rays and 3D Imaging.  Yes and he had an opening Wednesday morning so I grabbed it.  In at 9 and out shortly after 10. Finished and the old crown back on.  Back in 6 months to see how things look.  Great job and very little discomfort. We also voted early.  We know what the lines will be like tomorrow even with the number of voters who did vote early. As promised here is a picture of my Pulsar quilt top.  It was a fun quilt along.  And fabric all from the Stewart shop. I do have to confess though to buying wide backing for it.  Didn’t like what I had hand . This was from a QAL by the Bear Creek quilt shop...
