Trip Around the World Quilt

I finally finished this quilt a couple of weeks ago and got it sent off to my nephew John. It was a nice tribute to the baby quilt I made for him when he was born as it was also a Trip Around the World pattern.

Project Bags

So one of my projects this weekend was to make "project bags."  Mine is the girly one and has knitting inside. The Man's is the manly one and has hunting stuff inside. He calls it a "possibles bag."

This week in the garden

Well not bad for mid-October.... Tomatoes, carrots, jalapenos, pepperoncini, a clump of basil, and a ruttabega that was very good cooked and mashed in with potatoes for dinner tonight.

Chickens out

We butchered the rest of the roosters about a month ago and gave the last two laying hens to our friends Andy and Shari in anticipation of the new meat birds we'd ordered up from a hatchery in Iowa. They arrived four weeks ago this Tuesday in the mail and the Man picked them up at the post office.

They were brand new little chicks but they eat nonstop and yesterday we removed the screening from in front of their little door and had to push them out. This morning they all went out by themselves.
