I did finish my new smaller version quilt top of Crumbs in the Corner. I thought I would finish the top and put it aside and start something new. But I am trying to decide what to use for a backing and wondering if I have any batting left that will fit it. It is 58 inches square. Also thinking about the backing...I have fabric that I could use, but would almost like to use up more scraps on the back. I guess I will have just have to let the idea float around in my brain for a while.
*************
All that being said, we really had the rain this afternoon. And wind...
*********
Then there was our yard, well mostly garden.
Below you see the few bell peppers in the front part of the photo.
Besides this, there was a limb blew down in our yard from the neighbor's yard that tore down bot my clotheslines. Roger cut the limb up and he got the clotheslines back up after the rain finally quit.
Sounds like a lot of damage! So glad no one was hurt (I am assuming so since you didn't mention it)! It's always sad to lose such a big tree. And I know you spent a lot of time in your garden, just to have it ripped apart by winds, but isn't it wonderful that you were not the ones being ripped apart!?
ReplyDeleteOh MY!! I hope you can get everything all fixed up again and your garden will be alright! Looks like a hurricane hit things!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so disappointing to wait for a garden to grow and then have wind come along and create havoc.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see what you chose for the backing fabric, Rose.
My goodness, that sounds like a terrible wind/rain storm! Your Green Peppers look beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel badly about your garden. Hope the plants recover without too much damage.
ReplyDeleteso sorry that lovely old tree went down and that your beautiful garden was damaged. i hope they will still grow after being stood back up... glad you are safe though, i saw all the damage that storm did all across the NE... i do the same thing with my photo playtime, think about it and let it sit in the brain for awhile. i also watch video tutorials on youtube to learn new things
ReplyDeleteThat must have been some rain storm. The peppers look good.
ReplyDeleteOh how awful---for your neighbor and for you. Our tomatoes and peppers are just about where your are in terms of ripening. Betsy in Tenn. talked about the huge amounts of rain they got. Wind can be so damaging. I hope the weather improves. MB
ReplyDeleteWow, that was quite a storm. Glad not more was damaged nor anyone! Take care.
ReplyDeleteMercy Me... You all had a BAD storm. We had some rain last night when the front came through here --but only about 1/2 an inch --and no wind much... I complain about all of the rain we have had --but at least, we haven't had any wind or damage this summer....Too bad about that big maple tree...
ReplyDeleteGlad you could get your garden back to 'order' --and glad Roger would fix your clothes line....
Hope you don't have anymore storms like that..
Hugs,
Betsy
Yikes! Glad no one was hurt! The peppers look good! Hope your garden "heals".
ReplyDeleteA look on the bright side? At least you wont have to rake leaves this fall! :)
We had some wind like that the other night but no damage here.......at least not this time. The wind likes to blow good here. The peppers look great.
ReplyDeleteGlad the tree didn't hit your house. What a mess. You must have had really high winds.
