My Sweet Babboo managed to get the pole for the bird feeder straightened, but we didn't want to put the feeder back on it yet. Still, he wanted the birds to have some food available, so he rigged up a feeder to hang high off the ground from a tree limb. The birds found that …
May Books
It's been a great month for books, some recently published and some older. I've been lucky with my choices, based on some recommendations, and one from NetGalley that I read pre-publication that just published. I've linked to the Amazon page for all so you can read more about them, or find an audio version. Thank …
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 …
May In the Garden
This has been the weirdest year, with temperatures too warm through the entire winter, then just about the time I should be planting, we get overnight freezes. And while my vegetable crops did well from seeds in the basement, they didn't survive when transplanted. I did harden them off for several nights, then put them …
Log Cabin Quilt of Valor
I loaded this quilt prior to our trip, and thought I could get a row or two done before we left. I was given the top and batting meant for a Quilt of Valor, but they didn't have a backing large enough. Well, I knew I had a lot of fabric, and welcomed the opportunity …
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 …

MINIs on the Dragon 2023
We spent most of last week at the annual MINIs On the Dragon event in Fontana Village in western North Carolina right at the Tennessee border. There is too much for one post, so I'll have more for you later, but for today get a cuppa and settle in for a picture heavy post. I've …
