Miscellaneous Shots

Sunset, the moon, remember blowing these around when younger :), bees in the cherry tree (have them in a pole (power pole and maple tree too) we have teeny tiny cauliflower making.  Got it out when cool but was cool and rainy so it just sat there.

Horseradish

We put out about a dozen horseradish plants this year.  They are blooming.

Purple Martins

I have had my house for several years and in the past have had scouts and maybe 1 pair but I have a few this year.

Baby Shower

We had a shower for one of our coworkers daddy to be last night.  It was a meeting and we threw in the surprise shower.  The bib has a poem in it and 2 games, then I did the popcorn wrappers and the 2 prizes were the boxes of candy and a Wal-Mart gift card.  The door prize was the bib with a rubber duckie on the back cover. It was candy, body wash, bag holders and chex mix.

I made a couple burp rags, a bib and then the lollipop is a plastic spoon with a pair of soxs that I crocheted beads on wrapped up and tied.  The quilt is the room theme.  It is the first quilt that I did completely on machine.

Miscellaneous

 

 

 

 

While we were outside this a.m. my son noticed that the cat had kittens in Shortys doghouse.  The cat by the tree showed up over a year ago and it sleeps with Shorty and lays with him outside during the day.  She had 5 and they were still wet.  2 appear dead, 1 weak but other 2 okay.  She doesn't get to near of people but getting better.  So Shorty will be moved somewhere else.  He wouldn't hurt them but just going in and out of the house would be the problem.

Last picture my son (on tractor) and his friend Mikey cutting down a dead pine tree.

Losing trees from the drought last year

The Dogwood in the top two got a good trim from the dead branches--hope it continues to grow, it blooms out so pretty and had such a pretty shape.

Middle is a tulip tree we had to pull up.

Last one is a Blue Spruce that had to go.

A dead pine tree that is coming down today.  When we moved here they said the pine trees were 18 yrs old and would like for us to leave them and we said had no plans to take them out but now at 44 yrs old one is going. :( 

We have also removed a beautiful Fire Bush and 3/4ths of a Lilac bush.

Material finds

The first 2 pictures are material I found at Goodwill last night.  The blue was 5 yards for $2.50 and the send was $2.50 also and it has the Christmas which are big circles and then about 3 yards of the flower. Also got some ties!

Last 2 is new material I purchased after work yesterday.  The solid pink is for a baby quilt and other 2 just to have.  The deer print for a quilt.
