An old photograph I scanned in...I know it isn't really great but it appeals to me. I have no memory of what I did wrong. I am sure a lot, but I like the results anyway.

Just posting another picture of a barn...I need to make a web album just of barns. I also realize now that I need to take notes of where the barns are when I take their picture. I think this is another in Parke County, and even think I can find it. But I had to think a moment to remember where it is.

It was a beautiful day today...I should have been working in my yard but I was in the mood to sew a little so that is what I did while I did some laundry. When my husband got home, we put up new clotheslines...so now I can hang sheets, and towels outside when the weather is nice. There is just something so nice about going to bed on sheets that have hung in the sunshine.

I have also got to try to be prepared to get a picture of Mama Squirrel and Puss Puss, aka the princess. She comes up on our back porch to eat sunflower seeds and to have me feed her nuts. She realizes that Shelby, our dog will not hurt her. She will be sitting on one side of me and Shelby on the other and she is fine with that.

However, Puss Puss wants out so bad...if the inside door is open, she is always sitting looking out the storm door. Tonight, I fed Mama Squirrel before we put up the clotheslines. As we were working on that, I looked toward the house, and there was Mama Squirrel nose to nose with Puss Puss with only the glass separating them! I do not know if it was because Shelby was also there, or if she was actually just teasing the cat.

Then after I came in, I happened in the kitchen and there they were again, but she was gone before I could get my camera. I would like to know what goes through her mind...and I am wondering will she have babies again this spring. We are wanting to have this old maple tree cut down, or at least topped real good. So I am kind of wondering how she will react to that. We are really hoping it doesn't bother her...last fall she had her second litter across the street in a different tree.

Quilts

I feel like a bird that has just been set free...I went up to my sister's house in Crawfordsville today and while we sat and visited I finished the binding on this baby quilt repeat. These photos were taken before washing. I think this is a better picture than the ones of the first baby quilt.Other than that, we have had sunshine all day today! I have been outside without a jacket...glory hallelujah! I am definitely a person that needs the sun! At least some sun. The endless days of cloudiness sure get to me. I don't think they bothered me as bad when I worked outside all the time.
Today as I was driving up to Crawfordsville I kept thinking to myself that I need to make that drive with the intentions of taking pictures. I seen so many side roads I wanted to take but didn't have the time. It is approximately 50 miles up there so quite a drive. And by the time I head home, I just want to get home.
