Beautiful Weekend

I love this time of the year.

It smells great and is sunny.

The pond is alive with swimming and

flying birds.

Our God gave us a beautiful place to live.

Cold and Sunny

It is cold and sunny here in NW Indiana.

We could use lots of snow.

Our ground water table is way down.

I am actually worried that the fish in the big pond

will freeze solid this winter.

Should have ate them last summer.

I have 3 whole days in a row to spend in the

studio. I need to get a group of 3 small art quilts

done and mailed to the Ohio Craft Museum.

They need to be there by next Wednesday.

So I had better get busy.

Summer on the pond.

Summer on the pond is finished.

2 more quilts should be enough for the summer show.

A total of 6-must leave some of the wall space for fellow artists.

Maybe need to throw some paint at a canvas or two.

Busy day today.

My daughter and I went to Sam's and Meier's grocery shopping.

Super Bowl week-end she has a big party.

Out for lunch at Joe's Crab Shack.

We don't get together too often so it was fun.

She worked a 12 hour Monday and Tuesday

and an 8 on Wednesday.

I was surprised she had the energy to go.

Nurses are tough.

What a beautiful spring day in February.

Not the usual Indiana weather.



Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday's mornings golden glow.

Sunlight through the trees

The glow of Fall.

 Fall grasses highlighted  by the sun.

The sumac glows red against the woods.

The old wind mill spins in the gentle breeze.

Fall is a special time of the year.

Have a great day.

Sunday morning.

                    Sundays are quiet times at our house.
                    Reading a good book, Sunday dinner.
                    Some time outside in this glorious
                    Indian summer weather. Enjoy.

Good Morning Saturday

                       Love old buildings. Rusty things, old cars
                       and anything old that would include me.
                       Age is a good thing. Another beautiful day
                       at Cedar Ridge. Spending the morning
                       cleaning out all the flower beds of the
                       old dead  flower heads. The birds quit eating
                       them and have moved back to the feeders
                       so time to clean up with the help of my
                       grand daughter Jenna.  We will share the
                       last watermelon for a snack break.
                      

The road home.

                Finally finished the new art quilt.
                Fall in its most glowing colors.
                It is my favorite time of the year.
                Next art quilt will be more abstract.
                4 weeks of stitching in my spare time.
                The hand dyed threads from Artfabrik
                really make the finishing touch.

The back way to town.

                  The last two days I have been busy.
                   Wednesday I mixed 9 batches of glaze
                   2 of them doubles. Each batch is 2.5 gallons.
                   Than on Thursday I  double dipped
                   52 pots in the glazes for a green finish the
                   only thing left is to fire them and put in
                   the dried fall arrangements for the brunch
                   in October. Today I slept late than took a
                   nap. Tonight is the opening of my friends
                   show Harmony in Nature. Last night in
                   the middle of the night I placed an order
                   with Artfabrik for lots of thread so I can
                   finish my newest art quilt. Back to fabric.
                   A much softer friendly craft.

                       On the way to Rensselaer I took the back way.
                       Could not resist taking photos of the changing fields.
                       I just love the country life. Life is good
