Hey Y'all, I hope you are doing good. I can't believe that it's been so long since I've posted. I've just been a busy girl here. I've done lots of quilting, and we've been working around Gentle Hearth getting is all spruced up. We finally got rid of our rotting railings and finished installing the new ones and here's how they look.
Can you believe we have green grass??? It was brown and crunchy not long ago and it needs a mowing BADLY!
I'll share with you some shots we spied on our way to and from LaCrosse to get some stain for the deck and railings.
Had to turn around for this one that Jim spied.
I've entered some of my photos in the fair for the very first time ever, so I've been busy going through them. We also entered our maple syrup. Wish us luck.




Judy, your photos are great! Thanks so much for sharing them.

The countryside look lovely rolling hills and farmland, I live in Sydney but do go sometime over the Blue Mountains to our country where my family live and it's always relaxing and quiet.
