Dead Dog

It's no perfect but it's fixed.

Last winter I finally received my string quilt back from the long arm quilter. I had waited for almost a year. After about a month at my house Benny found it and had a little snack. This snack left a good chunk gone from the quilt. After a year and a half I finally patched it.

New supplies

Better Homes and Gardens is making new canning jars. Called mom and dad to ask the specifics of canning corn in the pressure cooker. I'll try corn two ways. One canned the other frozen. Watch out Frank the house is about to be 100 degrees!

Canning 2011

Today Glenda and I took a trip to the Atlanta's Farmers' Market. We came away with a crate of corn 50lbs of onions, 25 lbs. of roma tomatoes. I got a whole bunch of peppers and cilantro for $4.00. I'll start canning in this 94 degree heat.

burn baby burn

When you live in a wooded neighborhood there is always lots of brush and twigs to pick up. There wasn't any place to keep all these twigs for burning. We built a fire pit today. There may have been some yelling and definately tore up fingers and knees but it's in and works great.

The tomatoes are coming right along. Hope they start getting thicker and not just taller soon.

Working on UFO's

Here is the sampler that Teresa and I started two summers ago. Today I put on both inner and out borders. Yesterday I made the final two blocks and set in sashing. Hooray for me!

Behind a fence

You just never know what may be behind a fence in Charleston. I loved that city! Not that I love cemetaries. Just the history behind the city.

He tries ladies

Husband said he would do the dishes once while camping. Have you ever seen anyone do it sitting down? I tried not to complain when pancake batter was left on the bottoms.
