Autumn Leaves...


We are having a beautiful, dry autumn here

in Western Oregon... 


It has me inspired to create leaves...





I have enough for 4 table runners...



We were coming home from feeding

cattle this morning and I just had to

stop and take a few pictures:

This is the view of our home place 

from the road...





The red maple trees in the yard are really

putting on a show...





I press some of those red leaves

to put on our Thanksgiving table each year...





We have begun feeding cattle...





The cows look forward to a fresh bale of hay...





The cattle know the sound of our vehicle

when we come to deliver the hay and they

chase us down the road to the bale feeder...





This is Eloise...

She is a yearling and will be part of our

cow herd next year.





This is Butter Cup...

We are also keeping her as a replacement heifer.

She is bred and will have her first calf next Spring.





Oh, how I love these girls !

They are so sweet and beautiful.

We look forward to seeing them each day.

Flower Power...


I just can't clean out the flower beds yet...

 


By Now...I normally have the flowers 

all cleaned out,

mulched and put to bed for the winter...



But, take a look for yourself:


The dahlias are really putting on a show !





They are responding to all of this gorgeous

and sunny autumn weather we are having

here in Western Oregon...





I just can't clean out the flower beds just yet...





There are even a few zinnias blooming...





I will miss them when they are gone...





These images will have to last all winter...





The bumble bees appreciate the flowers too !




As long as this beautiful weather sticks around,

so will the flowers!

Medallion Star Quilt....Progress

 

This has been my Wednesday project



20 inch Star Block...




I have been pecking away at this

the last few weeks on Wednesdays...




Each Wednesday I add a bit more

to the design wall...




Adding more star blocks each week...



Here are the last 9 stars to go up on

the design wall today...

Then I will be on to the final border treatment.

This is a Christmas gift, so there is nothing like

a deadline to get things done !
