Baby & Toddler Headbands……

I have a hard time just sitting and watching TV, so in the cool of the evening I have been making headbands for Church Bazaar. So far I have completed 50 but will probably be more since Bazaar isn’t until Mid October.

Learning how to knit has been fun. I see all the little girls in the headbands and say Awwww! So I went through my lace, and fabric from other projects and came up with these fun headbands. I didn’t take pictures of all of them,California Dreamin! 016 California Dreamin! 017 California Dreamin! 018 California Dreamin! 019 California Dreamin! 020 California Dreamin! 021 California Dreamin! 022 California Dreamin! 023 I thought about putting a few on Etsy. What do you think? Have a wonderful Thursday…..

Old Markets are fun to look at!

998459_534681153254293_1141319504_n

This market was in Delano, California. I spent a lot of time in the Valley of California.

I remember the smell of the old markets, and the price of food would sure be nice right now.

I am enjoying a little cooler weather. In the morning you can tell that fall is coming without a date.

It has been a busy summer, so much to do, so little time. Arney and I made salsa this weekend from the things we grew in the garden.

I have been making headbands for Bazaar all summer.Anniversary 59th 026 These look so cute on babies and toddlers. I have made all colors and style... I am naming each color for fun.

Have a great day!!!

Monday

Not much to share today,but with that said, I wanted to say thank you. I have not been a devoted blogger this year so far. Sometimes there are not enough hours in a day. I used to do my blogging and research late at night, but I am trying to brake that habit. It is not good to look at the clock and find it is 3:00 in the morning and you have not closed your eyes. I won't bore you with details, just please know that I am here. The next couple of weeks will find us enjoying Arney's vacation. I will be looking in on you, but may not have much to share, we will see. Take care all, love Mary

Before and After

A few years ago

these two chairs were bought for 35.00 at a yard sale. I had thought of redoing them myself, but was not sure that I could really do them. Then I thought of slipcovers and could not fined a fit because these chairs are very old.

Arney and I decided this would be our Anniversary present to each other.So we had them done and I love em. Here is the before and after.Bella #2 001

Our 50th anniversary is the 15th….yes, we got married just after we were born:)

Sunday…

It had been a busy, but really nice day. I had cleaned radishes from the garden. Did some house cleaning.Planned what dinner would be…etc.

7:00 found us having dinner. LB and Finley were taking their after dinner nap. It was starting to cool down from another hot summer day.

I heard a sound,the dogs heard it too. We went to the back door to see a white suv in the back yard going through our fence.

Before I show the pictures, I want to share that the young man that was driving was caught just blocks from here.Beer cans were found that they had thrown from the suv. He had already been in a wreck by Lake Lowell which is about a mile from us. Damaged a trailer,etc and kept on going to our house.We saw his passenger jumped our fences and we do not know if he was caught. He and friend had stolen the suv.I am happy to say no one was hurt.

Those that have seen our backyard will probably understand these pictures easier.100_5161

This is our back yard gate.This is where we saw the suv leaving our back yard.100_5165

This is where the suv came through our fence interring the back yard, behind that tree is a ditch that he had to be air born to have gotten over, it is wide and deep. You also see the dog run smashed into the ground.100_5162

Our Bar-B- que was about 25 feet from where it was. And the little bench that has sat in that little cove is now a pile of wood.100_5160

The greater part of our fence will have to be replaced, about 100 feet.

The lawn will grow back from his spinning wheels.

Just another Sunday at the Evans Farm
