I know I've been quiet lately. It seems like I have been busy all week, but I haven't had one thing to blog about. It is mostly mundane stuff, nothing exciting or even just interesting going on. I'm working on the Quilt of Valor that I've shown you before. Other than that, just doing a …

This past week was busy with retreat, and some work around the house. So, I don't have much for chatting today. We finally have a few flowers coming out as the weather warmed up this week. My one little clump of daffodils did produce some pretty blooms. One little crocus is trying to bloom. The …

It is finally March, and I am ready for spring. The birds have been here a lot, getting their fill of seeds. It has been so cold, and they really need the extra calories. There are so many, they've been going through a feeder-full every two days. I need to get a couple more suet …
Sunday Chat – Mountain Living
Our first drive with the MINI club was this weekend. Everyone was excited to get together again and drive our mountain roads. Even with it still being winter, with no leaves or flowers yet, the countryside is still beautiful. It had been raining up to half an hour before our meeting time, and the skies …
Quilts of Valor and the Bird Count
With more time to sew this week, progress was made on the Quilt of Valor begun last week. When we left off, the top was assembled and ready to quilt. It uses a panel with six star blocks and large sections of a patriotic print. I loaded it on the longarm frame, and began auditioning …

The small herd of five deer have been hanging around here lately. They were back earlier in the week on the mountainside behind the house. I believe they are all females. Two appear to be adults, while the other three are likely juveniles almost grown. One was moving ahead of the others, and paused to …
Sunday Chat – Snow Day
This week, I've been working on some small projects, and was really looking forward to the guild meeting on Thursday. Unfortunately, this is what I awoke to that morning. It wasn't much, maybe a half-inch, but enough to keep me from backing the car down that hill. At dawn, the golden light glows behind the …

A few days of warmth have been followed by a really cold snap. The deer have been here several days looking for food. I think it is fine for them to eat the vines and weeds out of the hosta garden. This gal did her part. Three of them moved through, and I wish they'd …
