In the garden this month, there has been an interesting contrast of dull days and bright color, sunny mornings and then snow followed by days of rain. Just the day before our QOV sew day, it snowed. As I watched the snow fall, it seemed that every bird in the neighborhood needed a bit of …

Snow Birds
There have been a wide variety birds on the feeder this month, particularly when it snowed earlier in December. DH has kept the feeder full of nice cracked sunflower seeds, and I made a suet cake for them too. The goldfinches on the upper left have put on their more drab winter garb. The one …
Just To Let You Know…
I know, I don't usually post on Tuesdays, but I wanted to let you know two things. First, that Bernie at Needle and Foot is having a fun giveaway on her blog this week. Remember when I did a blogger bundle for her last August? The Colors of August placemats, plus the Improv Table Topper …

Snow Day! Time to Quilt!
After missing work most of last week, I got up this morning to this. The picture looks white all over because it is still lightly snowing. Not good news, as the schedule was slammed this week because of all the snow last week. Oh well, what to do but accept the fact that I am …
November Garden
I worked quite a while yesterday on the garden. There was a freeze warning for last night, and we were supposed to get maybe a light dusting of snow. I wanted to see if I could overwinter some of my favorite plants from the veranda. Internet research did provide some tips, so I decided to …
