Standing at my kitchen sink earlier this week, I noticed movement in the front. Once again, the local black bear was making an attempt to get to the bird feeder. My Sweet Babboo has tie-wrapped it to the pole so the bear cannot shake it down and cannot reach it, but last time the bear …

Sunday Chat
It has been such an interesting week for projects, with a lot of things in the works. I've been working on a Quilt of Valor on the frame, my Japanese art quilt in my chair doing handwork, and crafting in between. We've had wildlife visits, too. I've been cooking up a storm testing recipes for …
Sunday Chat on Friday
Since I agreed to do the Christmas project on two Sundays, I didn't have a chat post last week. I will be doing the project assembly this Sunday, so let's chat today. It was shop hop week, and of course, I did my share. I couldn't resist the black backgrounds on both these fabrics, one …
Sunday Chat – Wildlife, Flowers, Driving and Hand Sewing
So much to chat about today! Get yourself a cuppa, and settle in for a long and picture heavy post. July brings more flowers to the garden, with the apricot gladiolas bursting into bloom this week. I must have two dozen spires with these soft orange flowers dotting the hill behind our home going up …

Bird Adventures, Garden, and Wildlife
Rain every day this past week has brought out the flowers in the garden and on the veranda. Almost every early morning, the valley and mountain ridge was heavy with clouds. The morning air was cool and almost fall-like, but more humid. Rain brings out the lush green, and everything is growing. My garden has …
Sunday Chat – Wildlife, Quilting and Making a Change
Wildlife has been visiting frequently this past week. This deer was behind the house on the hillside, almost concealed by the very tall vegetation back there. She can eat as much of that as she wants. Actually, I would like her to eat it all, LOL!! Wilson, our resident woodchuck, stopped by to slurp up …

Sunday Chat – Garden, Cooking, Wildlife
It was mostly a quiet week here, with not much going on. I piddled in the sewing room pulling fabric for the swap early in the week, stared at the quilt on the frame with no idea how to quilt it, tidied up a bit, and generally spent days doing next to nothing. I read …
Car Club Event, Ducks, and Quilting
This past Sunday was the New Member Picnic for our car club, and we were in charge of it. It took a few months and a lot of work to plan, and it is good to have it done. For the meal, we were having it catered instead of it being a potluck as in …
Sunday Chat
We had a lovely time this past week, with family visiting. My Sweet Babboo's brother and his wife were here for several days to do some sight-seeing, and visiting. We wanted to take them up on the Blue Ridge Parkway one day, and we stopped at Looking Glass Falls on the way up through Pisgah …
Sunday Chat
What a bloody wasted week. Getting covid was not in the plan. Two days lost to fever and feeling awful, then two more days of sitting in my chair binge watching Yellowstone, with no energy to do much. Since I have nothing new from this week to share, today's post will be a catch up …
