Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

I'm a day late but  I have had a week of no doctor  appointments for my parents and it has given me time to relax and reflect. And the best thing is, there is not another one until the 30th.   The weather here in NE Oklahoma has been beautiful, unusual for us. This is normally severe weather time but the past few years it seem that, that weather has moved east and south.   So Easter Sunday was gorgeous and we went for a hike to see the Dogwoods that are blooming which are spectacular this year. We have a little over 100 acres which 40% is wooded area. We have many springs that feed into the main creek and that is where we went to see the Dogwoods. This part of one of the streams has a deep hole and the color of the water is so blue, my picture does not give it justice. Love this rock that has moss and grass growing on it in the middle of the water. They are so pretty this year.     The lighting around

Today I had my friend Mary over for lunch, some stitching and a lot of catching up.  Nothing said summer than a beautiful bowl of fruit.  So I decided to make a fresh, ripe  and refreshing fruit salad.  Then there was the trimmings from making the salad leftover so I figured I would share it with "the girls". Boy, did "the girls" go nuts over it all. They had it all cleaned up in no time, and with this heat, I try to give them a cool or frozen treat everyday. I also made egg salad sandwiches for lunch and I used my egg masher for the first time. It worked really well.     And so cute too   Practical and cute We had a good time and we were able to get a little appliqueing done. We both have been working on the Dresden Plate Quilt. As you can see I have black for center and points and Mary is using a blue print for her center and points. I have six more blocks to get appliqued done and then need to assemble the blocks.

Woo Whoo 20,000 pages viewed I just can't believe it Thank you everyone, I hope I gave you something you enjoyed and I believe in a on going growth in ones life, so that mean I will continue and god willing be improving along the way. And again 

I was walking this morning thinking about the things I'm blessed with, then I read my daughter's blog and she had this posted and I though how right this quote is. One of the blessing I have is I'm going to be a Grandma for the first time and not just one child but twins. It's a double blessing. Just think of all the quilts, knitted items and other things I can come up with to make. Till next time Kat =^..^=
