An employee of ours got this Poinsettia for me in 2016 and it did wonderfully in our house, but I needed to move it to make room for a Christmas Cactus so I brought it out to my office. Within 2 weeks it looked like this. My office is a death sentence for potted plants. :( Cut plants last a long time but not potted.
This was January 13 and we had to go to Toledo which is a 4 hour trip. It took us a little over 5 hours to get there, but God took us safely there, and back home again the next day. God is good!
This series of pictures was taken outside Dale's office. A momma and her baby came strolling up and got a bite to eat at the bird feeder. They were there for a long time. I went and sat in the window seat and watched them. I wasn't any farther than 6 feet from them, of course there was the window between us. We just had 4 deer in our front yard a couple of days ago. I love to watch them. Just don't like to meet them on the road!
This is my first attempt at making a Cathedral Window quilt. I have loved them since I was a little girl. My Granny's best friend used to make them all the time and was going to show me how to do it but you know how it is with best intentions. I really wish I had made the time for Lizzy to teach me. It would have meant so much more than learning from the internet. People ask me how big it is going to be. I just shrug my shoulders and say I don't know. It may only be a wall hanging or maybe even just a pillow top. Depends. lol It is mostly hand sewing so it will be a long process and will be a carry along project. The only machine sewing is sewing the muslim squares together. I tried doing those by hand but was not getting the seam allowance just perfect and the squares were not coming out square. So machine sewing for 3 seams in those and then the rest is hand. This will go with me on camping trips.
This is Betsie, our oldest dog, she is 11 now. She is not supposed to be on the couch so she waits until Dale goes to bed and then she jumps up on it. If she hears him coming down the stairs she quietly gets down and acts like she was sleeping on the rug all along. Silly dog, I am there watching her.
