The way....

This is what the roads looked like north of here...we had just come up this road. I stopped to take photos of cattle, and old farm house, and could not resist shooting the road.

We ened up in Covington, a small town north of us about 30 or 40 miles...we ate at a little restaurant there, and went in a couple antique shops just to look. I always like looking at old things...some of them bring back memories for me....while a lot are older than that.

In both shops we stopped at, we talked to the owners...had fun visiting with them.

On the way home...

When we came home from Sarah's the other day, we left while still daylight...but as you know night falls quickly in the winter.
We got to watch a beautiful sunset from beginning to end...I snapped a few shots. they are not the greatest, but still you get the general idea. Oh, look hard at the barn in the second picture has a quilt square on it. It has one on each end...

I sewed a little more on my newest quilt project. I am relieved to know I figured lengths correctly. Until a few years ago, I would have did that all in my head, and never even questioned it. I guess my head is so full of other stuff, that I have to have a hard copy to focus on!

Peek-a-boo!

This is how Bubbie does my quilts if he gets any chance at all...I usually keep it folded over he rack and pinned in a couple places. I had had it off, and put it back over the rack but I had not put the pins in place. I came in and Roger told me to look...and there he was. He always works and gets under stuff...sometimes it is a throw rug, which always leaves his back end hanging out. Or he will go in the bathroom and pull the towels down and crawl under them.

We had thunderstorms before daylight and lots of rain. The rain cleared out early in the day, and the wind started blowing. The morn was shirt-sleeve weather but by evening, a coat was needed. The wind felt like it went right to the bone. I only know this from letting the cats in and out, and feeling the cold when Roger came in and out.

I had 3 or 4 days of not working on my quilt, but got back on track this afternoon and finished cutting the dark strips for the main part of the quilt...and even did just a tiny bit of sewing. Let's hope I get back on track with that...

I'm signing off for now...I have a jar of tomato juice waiting on me in the fridge....there is just nothing like home-canned tomato juice....
