Quilting today

Here is my progress on Bonnie's Tobacco Road quilt. It sure is slow but eventually comes together! I am working on this while waiting for the last QOV clue!

Tomato harvest

I'm coming to the end of the tomato crop. These are some that ripened indoors and are either going to be made into salsa or else cooked and run through the food mill to make tomato sauce. I then freeze the tomato sauce. I have one more batch like this left, then that's all until next summer!!

Mira - 13th birthday

We had a family party to honor Mira's 13th birthday. It was a beautiful fall day, the view of the colors on the mountain was spectacular, and it seems like it colored overnight. The reds are scrub oak, a scraggly bush but that's what grows here. The boys are enjoying that gun that Sami bought, it was outrageously expensive, but fairly harmless.

Circus

Here is what the Quiltaholics mystery looks like we did this past weekend. Isn't it cute. I wish I had someone to give it to, but maybe I can donate it somewhere.
