daily yarns 'n more

i'm still here

Wow, where did August go?  And September seems to be slipping by as well.  I got my knitting done and it was sent to Texas, tho I still have more knitting I'm doing.  I can't show those yet, as they are going to be Christmas presents.

The garden is being harvested and my pantry is filling up.  The drought hurt it some but I am getting enough out of it.  I made salsa, canned some whole tomatoes and need to get out and pick more tomatoes.

We've made 4 batches of strawberry jam, froze some and brought strawberries to Illinois and our DIL made 2 batches plus we had strawberry shortcake :)))  The strawberry patch is doing great this fall.

Jim found a neat shaped strawberry in the garden yesterday.

The pumpkins are getting big.  Last year I didn't get not one to grow and this year they are doing awesome!

We've had some rain here and the other day a rainbow came out, it felt wonderful to see that.

I finally started working on some quilting UFO's that I need to get done.  I've been kind of taking a blogging break if you haven't noticed by my lack of visiting.  I will be back again, tho I miss visiting you all, I have been needing my time away to get things done here.

 

mish :: mash

That's what you'll be getting here in this post...mish mash. 

We haven't had any rain here lately, at least not enough to help with the drought we are having.  This photo is at a wayside on our way to Illinois last week, we were there a couple of days to help pack up our son and dil who moved to Michigan.

This weekend we went to a Bluegrass & Gospel Festival and had an awesome time.  But, before the music started we went shopping, I in the Yarn shop and Jim in the Fly shop.  How convenient they are right next to each other :)

The young lady on the mandolin is going to turn 90 years old next week, she stood for every set her group played, which was for about 45 minutes each time.  I hope that if I make it to her age, that I have the same pep that's in her step.

If I keep eating healthy like I've been doing....I should.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.
