When it comes to "foraging", I really have no shame. Several years ago, we were in Joplin and found a business that had dozens of crab apple trees in their landscaping. The trees were so full of fruit so we asked if we could gather some and they said "Take all you want!" so we did. Most every time I leave home, I pass a pear tree that is full of pears. I always ask Vince if we can ...

It’s All About The Dirt
Some day, not any time soon I hope, we're going to sell our place. You know . . old folks can't live out in the middle of nowhere forever, but I figure we have at least 20 or 25 years before we have to think about it.

Everyone in this area talks high school football ...

Last year, or was it the year before, apparently we both bought enough yarn from Eat, Sleep, Knit that we are permanent members of the ...
A Quilt Top Quilted
Yesterday, I don't know what got into me . . but I woke up and said "Today is the day I am going to quilt the blue, gold and red top." I knew that meant spending a day in the sewing room with Boots but I told myself . . I am not letting one little kitten keep me from sewing! I also knew that once I loaded the top, I had to finish it and get it off the longarm. Leaving the batting hanging out ...
