The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook
And asters by the brook-side
Make astors in the brook
  (these lines are from September by Helen Hunt Jackson.)

I am not positive I have these correctly identified.  I was reading this poem and had to look sedges to see what they are.  I clicked on images and scrolled down and the top one was included.  I think it is so pretty.

The Myers Cabin

This cabin is located at the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge.
We could open this door to stand within and view the inside through plexiglass.

These are not the greatest, but I did not want to use flash.  I figured it would just reflect from the plexiglass....but maybe I should have tried both.

See this stove...we had one similar to it when I was a child. That was what we heated our house with till I was probably 8 or 9.  I don't think this is exactly like ours, but cannot remember it clear enough to tell you the difference.

A little show and tell

The photos are not the greatest...debated on waiting and trying to get better photos but figured I couldn't do much better.
I am showing a few pics of the quilting....
 Two of the borders I quilted the same, and the two others are different.  Different to the two that are alike and different from each other.
oh, and the back is this red flannel...
Not the greatest, but even though the pics don't show it, it is better than I thought it would be.  But there is still a lot I am not really happy with.
