Summer Color...


Now that hay season is over,

I am trying to spend some time 

in the flower beds... 


This is the Thread Shed where I do most

of my quilting.

It has flowers growing on all 4 sides...





The Cowboy installed an A/C in here

and I can sew when it is over 100 degrees

and be nice and cool...





Hydrangeas blooming 

in front of the Thread Shed...





They are lime green at first,

then they turn purple, then blue...





There is a Passion Flower vine

growing up the side of the Thread Shed...





Pink Coneflowers...

The deer don't like to eat these.....yay!





We have several bird houses around the yard...

we have been watching the baby birds

leave the nest and learn to fly.





This is the flower bed just outside the

front door of our house...

The Cowboy built that bird house.

Tree Swallows nest in there every Spring.





Black Eyed Suzy





Red Roses





Nasturtium





State Fair Zinnia





Pink Coneflower





Zinnia



Out back behind the house...


Peaches are beginning to color up

on the new, little peach trees...





Dahlias





Star Lilies











Petunias growing on the back patio...





Poppy  seed pods...




They are quite large...

I will harvest the seeds this fall and

replant them for next year.


I am trying to take time to enjoy the flowers

while I am weeding, fertilizing, 

mulching and watering.

Baling Hay....


Once the mowing and raking are done...

 


It's time to get it baled up !


 


We have been making round bales for

over 20 years now...





Even after 20 years,  I still get

a kick out of watching them pop out

the back of the baler !





100 degrees this week !





A couple more weeks of this

and hay season will be over...





The first field is baled...

on to the next one.

Reflections of Autumn.....Quilt Top DONE


I started this quilt in November... 


Reflections of Autumn





This is what it looked like in December...

( It is my Monday project )





By January the quilt top was complete...




It wasn't big enough for the bed...


so I added 2 additional borders...






It now measures 90 x 90





My favorite part of this quilt is this

gorgeous wide border of leaves...





It is now February and I found this beautiful

gold backing fabric 108 x 108...

Machine quilting can begin !



We were able to get out and do some

traveling along the rugged Oregon Coast


Port Orford, Oregon





It was good to get away for a few days

before the cows begin calving soon.




The mama cows all have 

babies in their tummies.

The first baby is due February 22nd.
