Enjoying Life one day at a Time

We had a couple of evenings that was pleasant enough that we sat outside while the pups ate their supper. Sadie is usually so hard to catch in a calm space and the lighting wasn't the best but she was laying so pretty.  She's such a pretty golden red.  It was a really pretty night.

Forgot to post a recent Bee with the Sassy Stitchers show and tell. I love these colors.  Brenda has been making quilt tops left and right and they're sew pretty. She got her quilting machine adjusted and she quilted this one herself.

 I had to take a picture of Carolyn and her T-shirt.  Love it. We all know those people where their cornbread isn't cooked in the middle. LOL.   Next was a wonky star by Connie. Love the fabric.   Judy showed off her sweet butterfly and kite quilt. She needs to put the kite tails on. I hope she brings it back once she does.

 

  And I finished another quilt top that week for a Haley a fellow nursing friend of Pamela's.  She had a cute baby boy named Colsen.

Pamela helped me pick out the fabric. She's good with colors and coordinating fabrics. 

 

If you look closely at this picture you can see the quilting of zoo animals.  Giraffe, elephant and a lion.  Donna @ Donna's Lavender Nest did a awesome job.

Here's the crepe myrtles at the front of the sidewalk to the front door in 2023 and Now June 2024. They're flourishing.

 

David took pictures of the wildflowers in the pasture before he mowed most of them down. The cows won't eat them and they're so thick that they can't get to the grass.

  Our property used to be a tree farm as I've said before and we have 1000's of crepes in our North pasture. Three years ago we posted on FB market to bring your buckets and shovels and take as many as you want. We're gonna do it again but the ground is so hard that until we get some good rain it's rough. 60% of them are the watermelon pink, a few are white and maybe a couple are the purplish color. An the rest haven't got color on them yet.       I do have one that no one is touching. It's a crimson color and the darker leaves. Right now it's growing right on the fence line. I'm keeping this one.

We have people who've already said they want to come and dig some up but we told them to wait until the ground is softer. Whenever that might be.

The other day Bruno was sleeping in David's arms and Sadie came up over the arm of the chair to get attention. Can you see her paw wrapped around Bruno and getting as close to David as possible. And look at the looks on Bruno's face. LOL

She got the upper portion of her body between Bruno and David. LOL

Well that's enough for this post.
