Looking at photos past.

 Here are some more of the photos I sent my client.
It brings back memories of the flower beds of past.
Each year they evolve into something new.
The basket above finally rotted out the bottom.
It was so pretty for a few years.
I love pathways into areas.
I remember hauling the rocks and dead branches
 to create this pathway 9 years ago.
Not something I could do now.
I remember the year I asked a grandchild to pick up sticks.
I had to put the dead branches back on this pathway.
I am glad I take photos to keep the memories going.
Any one of them will make a great art quilt.
Today we will chop down most of the dead
flower stems, Our regular putting the yard to bed
for the winter.  It is almost that time again.
We do it early so the white pine needles
that fall in October  can re mulch the beds.
How fast this year has gone.
It seems they go faster each year.
Last night we had Andy our grandson over for supper.
Today Brad another grandson will help.
We love to visit with them.
I will make Brad homemade thick chili.
And will send some food back to college with him.
I freeze containers of food for him  to
supplement his food budget.
Thank goodness he is only 50 minutes away.

Mellowing out at the farm.

 Love my pine trees.
 Cedar Ridge has several kind of pines.
White pines, cedars, arbs, spruce and more.
Took a walk yesterday afternoon with the camera.
Perfect weather. A perfect day.
Got some good photographs of logs, rocks and trees.
Got to spend some time in the studio.
Made a dozen small quilts for cards.
A friend stopped over for a short visit.
Made the mistake of drinking a cup of tea while
watching the Voice.
After only 3 hours of sleep I got a great
shot of the sunrise.

Sunrise out the sun room porch steps.
Now another day of making small quilts.
Need 100 cards to take to a seminar with me in June.
Have a great day.

Photos in the snow

 Quick before it is gone.
Yesterday I took an hour to snap snow pictures.
With this winter it doesn't last long.
Love the shadows on the snow.
Today I will finish the sunset quilt.
and move on to sky reflected in water.
Have a great day.
