Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

I have been home now for a little over a week and I can say I finally feel like things are back to normal. Funny how sometimes you need a space of time to get adjusted to your routine after being gone for so long. And one of my bad routines, maybe not bad but I could be utilizing my time better, is I will check my blog in the morning then check my blog list and I'll start reading and then before you know it I'm surfing the web and before you know it I have been on my iPad for over an hour. It's the time of the year that makes it a bad thing. Because if I need to be doing anything outside should be first thing in the morning when it's the coolest. And it's not saying much as far as being the coolest, kids right now it's 80° humidity is 85% and the dewpoint is like 75. It's like living in the tropics.  I did braved the outside long enough to let the chickens out the henhouse and check on anything that needed to be harvest today like some blueberries, cab

I got back last night after 3 weeks away  babysitting my grandsons. Before I get into that I want to thank my friends for sticking with me after being away. Thank you. I didn't post while there in California cause like many Grandparents I could of bombard you with pictures of the little dudes. But I will share this one of them in their Halloween costumes.

I harvested lettuce, beets, turnips, sweet potatoes, potatoes, green peas, radishes and a few carrots. I was taking pictures but just haven't gotten round to editing them but I will and write more about my garden and how it did this year. I just wanted to touch base and make this a short o

I should add to this slow Sunday, being slow to blog. I have thought off and on for the past couple weeks,  how I needed to write a post to blog. But that's as far as I would get, just thinking about it. It's not that I don't have a subject or an event or a project I would love to share, it just that time would get away from me. So for my slow Sunday I have been prepping my blocks for "Words to Live By".  This a Primitive Gathering BOM These are the two I have finished . But that's not all, I have been doing today. We had a killing freeze Friday night so I had to pick all that was left on my bell peppers and tomato plants.   So I've been busy getting the bell peppers cleaned and prepped to freeze or dehydrate.  Then there's those pumpkins we have that we use to decorate that were not cut to make jack-o'-lanterns. I'm roasting those in the oven and putting them in the fre
