Bees, Birds, Berries, and Blooms!: Come in, sit a spell, and warm up...

Come in, sit a spell, and warm up...

We tried to stay busy this weekend. We burned some piles, cleaned house, and did numerous small projects.

I shoveled my way into the greenhouse to see what was going on inside. It was 55 degrees and smelled of earth. A nice place to sit for a spell.

I finished all of my blocks. When I laid everything out, I came to the realization I may have gone overboard. I have a lot more blocks than I think I need.

I am not a patient woman and quickly started piecing them together. It is turning out better than I anticipated. I found out quickly one has to be very aware as to which way the patches are turned when starting a row. Why is it the only way I seem to learn is the hard way?

Our cabin feels empty, but we have to keep moving forward. Staying busy is all one can do.

How are things in your corner of the world? Are you keeping busy?

Lovely quilt, and I know how you feel, we said good bye to our faithful Nell last year 25th Sept, and our home does feel empty, she was 14 1/2 and we miss her dreadfully. Love all the photos of Ella.

Impressed at how warm your greenhouse is/was! There is always a warm spot in the heart where our special pets live on 💕

I've managed to comment by allowing third-party cookies. I was so sad to read about Ella. Losing a member of the family is hard and leaves an enormous hole.so

Sit on my porch and let's chat. Due to the amount of spam I am closing my comments to Anonymous users. Sorry.

A young girl was walking along a beach which thousands of starfish had washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She was doing this for some time when a man approached and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” The girl was crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled back into the ocean. She looked up at the man and replied, "I made a diffence to that one." Soon the man and the other people on the beach helped her. All of the starfish were saved.
