Early Fall Nature Walk

Hello.  This fall has been wonderful at times and difficult to breathe at other times.  The kids are doing quite well as they are both in school full time.  I have started a part time job and sometime back in the summer thought that September would be a good month to have a garage sale.  I am well into September and although I have been without a washing machine for two weeks things are looking bright.  My women's bible study has started again.  Waahoo!  I have a new niece, Waahoo again!   The weather in Minnesota looks promising for bike riding for at least another week. ;)  

These photos were taken during a 15 minute walk prior to a lovely haircut a few weeks ago.  I think my husband was taking the kids to taco bell.  Anyway, a good night.  I haven't picked up my camera since but I hope to this weekend, gathering more images of this gorgeous time of year.

I'll start sewing sometime too.  Maybe some Farmer's Wife blocks next week.  That's my plan.

Well, I'm behind again on these blocks but only by a few.  I enjoyed making these this week until I realized that I duplicated the Snowball block.  Note to self...keep better notes!  I think I will keep it just in case one of the other block doesn't come together.

The continuing story in photos...

I am beyond excited for this photo of lightning.  In the past two weeks I have shot at least 500 photos trying to get "that" shot.  This one isn't too bad.  At 1 out of 500 I'd better stock up on memory cards.

Farm Time

Time at the farm visiting my extended family is precious.  My kids gets to roam around, play hide and seek in the trees (thank you Maggie!!), see lots of stars, watch storms come through and get to make memories just like I did.  I get to relax a bit.  And chat with Grandma about quilting.  And sleep really good in the cold basement of a gorgeous home. (thank you Bec & Chuck!) All just two hours away.

Now I'm behind on the Farmer's Wife Blocks, lets see how the week turns out.

A wonderful three days up north in the woods with friends at a quilting retreat leads to lots of completed Farmer's Wife blocks.  Here's the update!  I am choosing blocks at random, strategically leaving the really difficult ones until I am more comfortable with these templates!

It really is as fun as everyone says it is!!
