sewing up a storm

I've been cloistered up in the loft the last few days. Even the nice weather
hasn't tempted me. I'm not sure what's wrong with
me but....I've been sewing! Little girl dresses, it's been so much
fun. My hubby 's not sure what to think, me either!
I sew a baptism dress every so often but that's been about it for the last
couple years. I guess I'll enjoy while I can. Oh, and I even finished
the Romero's flags for the children's bedrooms (that I started a year ago).I'm defiantly on a roll.





Yesterday while I was up there I looked out the windows and if I didn't
know any better you would have thought we lived next
to an international airport. Well, we sort of do but it's an bee
airport. The bee's were coming and going so fast I couldn't believe it.
They all had places to go and things to do and were taking advantage
of the nice weather. How I admire those tiny amazing creatures.
We have a hive in the blueberry patch this year and I was so impressed
how brave the grandchildren were while they were picking last week, bee's flying all around them and they totally ignored them, just as the bee's were ignoring them. Poor Hannah did get her first bee sting....right between the toes....she stepped on the little bee. RIP


Got the stuff to make maple, bacon rolls tomorrow morning.I'll let you know how they turn out.

    Sounds like my kind of fun! I'm...not sewing. :( Trying to paint stuff and organize. It's less fun, but I'm hoping there will be some kind of payoff!

    I'm so excited to get our package! (Dad called for our address :)

    Grands are pretty great; I know, I've just spent a week with two 4year olds. XOXO

    I thought the maple bacon rolls turned out very well. That is a recipe concept with some serious potential.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
