A Hoosier Homestead

This is another Hoosier Homestead Farm, one that has been owned by the same family for a hundred years or more.  We noticed the sign for the first time when we were by it a couple weeks ago.  We have seen the place before, but I did not remember the sign.

We had rain all yesterday afternoon and evening, and it is overcast again today.  No rain in the predictions, but it looks as if it could rain at any moment.

I finished the quilting on my quilt yesterday, but still have the binding to put on.  At least I have it made.  I really made a mess of the quilting.  It is just too much for the quilt.  I should have went with straight lines which was my first thoughts on it.  However, it served the purpose of letting me experiment with quilting so not a total loss.  Will keep someone warm when it is cold once it is finished.

Cousins...

First of all, these photos were taken by my brother, not me.

Yesterday we had a little family reunion down at Spring Mill State Park Park here in Indiana.  These two played and played and played.  And we laughed and laughed and laughed.  Jackson is real good at acting like he has been shot and killed.  He was so good, that a couple times I actually thought he must have got hurt when he fell...

This one time as he came pretended to come to, he said "Am I on Earth or is this Heaven?"  We about fell out at that line.

 Notice Lorelei has to be funny...notice her face.  At first glance you might think I have published the same picture twice but it is two different photos.

End of summer charm

This is just a drop in the bucket...there just seems to be no way to show the measure of yellow that is out at the strip pits.  Everywhere in sight one will see yellow flowers.  On warm, breezy days, it is just glorious to stand and look.  I never seem to be able to capture a picture that shows the way I feel.

It is really on the cool side now of the morns.  It is  46ºF as I type this.  The high is only supposed to reach into the 60's.  

I will be busy today, so probably won't get much visiting done till either tonight or tomorrow.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.
