It feels good to have a little something to share. I went out into our orchard and took these pictures of the Apricot tree. It was warm today, I think it got to 70, but it will be cold tomorrow, so I thought it best to take these today. I am trying to get to all your posts, I feel like it has been ages. It was so nice to walk around without mud or snow. The ground is still real wet. I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with thoughts of spring.....Hugs, Mary
A short now to say i will be returning to post. Trevor just finished getting my computer back in good health!!! Thanks Trev! Love, Mom
Had to get out of the house for awhile, it is so cloudy and wet… I was feeling cloudy. I decided to go to a couple of second hand stores and look at books. I love buying a book that cost new $30.00 and I get it for a dollar or two. It looked like they were bringing in some new things so I went to where they have ribbon and threads and found all this lace for five dollars. I have been trying to find lace at a good price for crafts, and Bingo, I found some. Less cloudy I took my moody self home and really enjoyed what I had found. If anyone has some lace they would like to sell, I am interested. Now what to make!!!
Now to wait for our new baby girl. Her name will be
Annabel Marie
Now that the Party is over and the quilt is on it’s way to Washington with my Darling Kayla…lets see what I will find to share next. It has been all about this event..Thank you for your wonderful comments, it means so much to me. This has been a very special time for me. I am going to be a great Grandmother…we will see how great I am very soon. I am guessing, but I am sure that 30 came to the shower :)
I know you are probably tired of snow pictures. But I thought this one was fun to look at. Since our tree’s are bare and the grass is not green, we find beauty in what nature has given us. Snow makes everything pretty.
Have a great Day!!!!
Summit asked for a 12 layer Chocolate Cake! Jenny (Mom) gave him 8 layers. This is not out of a box cake..It was so yummmmie,each layer was filled with creamy Chocolate and some with Berries from her garden. Doug made Taco’s, we had so much fun.
This was early this morning. And it continues to snow. March 7 finds us white with snow.
In the quilt that I made there are these little Monkeys with cupcakes. Because I never know when to stop. I made this bag for the quilt yesterday….The shower is Saturday, I better stop! This is a very soft flannel.
I am off to Summit’s birthday party..he is 11 years sweet, good student, plays great baseball and loves his family. Still gives kisses:)
The baby quilt is done…I finished it this morning.My hands are a little sore, but so worth it.
21 years ago our first grandchild was coming into the world. Arney found a pattern for a cradle made in the 1800’s and all winter long he handmade this beautiful solid Oak rocking cradle. It was a really cold winter here in Idaho and often I would take hot coffee to him to help keep him warmer. Made with love for Kayla Marie and all his grandchildren to come.
So now a new great granddaughter will be born and she will lay in this beautiful cradle.
There are no nails in the cradle. It was put together with wooden dells that Arney also made by hand.
Before it goes home with Kayla and Dolan, I will clean and wax the cradle. It will shine!
Made with love, Arney & Mary.
A number of years ago we had 21 chickens. Some of them even had names. My favorite was Gerty, she would get out of the the chicken pin and sleep next to our back door. She did not believe she was a chicken…so she would hang out in the back yard. She was loved. The eggs were wonderful, and we could give them to friends and family. It was fun.
On a summer morning our phone rang. It was Miss Johnson our neighbor, she is a dear ole thing, we always make sure she get veggies from our garden. During the early hours of the morning the two Sheppard dogs that live down the road had killed every one of our chickens while we slept. It was awful. We do not eat the chickens, they are hand raised, so they are were pets.
Years have gone by and we decided that we would try again. LB our Beagle doesn’t bother birds that come into the yard. Right now the Robins are here..we have about 12 coming for the goodies they can find. I think they are sorry that they came, they are all up in the tree’s wishing they had a stocking cap and a nice wool coat. It snow and hailed today and then the sun shinned, we are so confused.” Me and the birds.”
I made a Pear Cobbler today…we had so many pears and it sounded really good…it was.
Anyway, we will make a really nice place for the babies in the barn and then they will have a warm nice place to live in the barn stall with a big tree in their yard. Yep! I like chickens. I love to give them left over’s from the table, no meat of course.
I am sore fingered, but the quilt is starting to really come together.
I am trying to stay away from the TV, we need just a little good news.
The Egg and I
