Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

OK I know it's not Friday But I was gone all day yesterday and really didn't have a chance to do this. Besides feeling a lot like fall this weekend, it is starting to shows signs of it being near here on the farm.  My Lady apples start to turn a slight red tint more towards the end on the month but apples always mean autumn to me. The Dogwoods are one of the first trees to change color in our woods. This year is a good year for the pears. It will be October before they'll be ready. Beside the Dogwoods the Sassafras trees are turning also. Some of squashes and pumpkins I harvest this morning. I wish I could of gotten a picture of the bucks I saw this morning. They were out in the pasture locking antlers. A sign of the rutting season coming soon. Go to Amy's at Love Made my Home I missed the deadline to link but go over and see what others share. 

Yeah, it's Friday. I get excited over Friday whether I have something to do on the weekend or not. Just an old habit from working.  Amy at Love Made My Home has not been posting Five on Fridays this whole month of August cause she taken the month off. She'll start back up next Friday but I still want to go ahead and post my Five for Friday My five pics will be the five rainbow scrap quilts that I am making in regard to so scrappy RSC 15 challenge I have 2 of the 5 sets caught up with all the colors for year.  Being that this month was indigo and here are my indigo blocks Some how I miss counted how many blocks to make, need 2 more. But then the other 3 sets, I still have to catch up on May and June the baby blue and the bright green.  1. Is the spool blocks. These are made from small pieces of scrap from trimming up my bigger scrap. I just couldn't throw them away, had to make something from them. Which those smal

Yes I know it Saturaday morn but I was so tired by the time we got back to the hotel room that after a shower I just went to bed.  So here are five favorites (not all) from the quilt show.  This is such a good design to use up your stash.  This is a pattern from Sew Vintage, which I love the saying.  Such a cute design, which I ended up buy the book.  This was one of the Hoffman's challenge entries.  And at the end of the day on the way back to our room we had this to admire. Such a gorgeous rainbow. 

It's time for my Five on Friday . I'm going to share some firsts.  My first first for this week is: 1. I harvest some zucchini. I have four plants that are doing wonderful and this is the first picking of the year. 2.  Another first for the week is my Manx cat Bob had to go to the Vet and spend some time. Wednesday he was acting strange and was hiding in every little dark place he could fine. Now this is not the behavior for Bob. Bob is just barely a year old and he is in full kittens mode, so after having a day of him acting like this I was really worried. I called my daughter who works for a Vet and asked her if I could take him in to see the Vet. That's right there are vet that just specialized in cats. After examining Bob she told me he was very dehydrated from not eating or drinking for the past 24 to 36 hours and due to his other symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea he needed at some fluids and some test to see what would cause this.  So Bob had to

I have just came across Amy at Love Made My Home  Five On Friday. Here in her own words of what it is: Five On Friday is a way to share Five things - on a Friday!  They can be connected, or not.  You could choose to share five quotes and say why they mean something to you, five pictures from your garden, five favorite flowers, five cakes, five anything that you like!   I read that and realize this was something I felt was a wonderful idea of sharing a little something without have to fill a whole post. There are a lot of things here on the farm that I don't feel I have enough to write about. Partly because I'm not a writer and its hard at times to do. This is a lot like how at times the posting of pictures I've done on Saturday but with a little narrative.   Amy has a link up for bloggers to post there Five On Friday and for us to read and see what others have contributed. So here is my first attempt. One - Over this pass week we have had some unus
