The end of summer

We do still have some flowers, but they are starting to die off now as you can see.  Not much going on around here and I have been pretty lax in taking pictures lately. 

We lost Paws, one of our cats a couple of weeks ago now, she was hit by a car and we new eventually that would happen.  She was our mouser, she would kill the mouse then drop it at our back door to let us know that she was doing her job!  Our other cat, Cloe, doesn't do much of anything but be a pain in the neck!

This weekend is going to be very busy with trying to get all the summer things put away for the winter, like the boat, the fish pond etc.

We are going to bring the fish down into the basement and put them into a stock tank with a pump.  We have a very warm basement because of the wood stove pumping the hot water to the basement.

Hope you all have a wonderful evening. 

New Loom / New Project

As you can see, I now have a loom that is larger and has more ways to make very pretty designs. This is the next set of towels that I am doing for my dentist! I think it is so awesome. I finally was able to get a start on the project. School has taken up so much of my time that it has been hard to get up into the barn. Things are getting easier now and so it doesn't seem to take as much of my time.

I have gotten my first test grades, and I am so proud of myself, in Algebra (the hardest). I got a 93 % on the test! Yippy! My business class I got an 85% which is still a B and the only class so far that I am not liking all that well and that is Micro-computers! The main problem is the teacher! He goes through things so fast and doesn't go back at all. I am hoping that I can at least keep my grade high enough to pass the class, because that is one of the required for my degree.

Other than all the lovely stuff, not a heck of a lot is going on around here. I did sell a rug and a set of towels over the weekend, which was very nice!

Hope you all have a great night.

Whatcha lookin At!

He loves to come over and get pets and just see what I am up too! He also loves to come over and crowd me when it comes to feeding time also. Its time for the hubby to clean out their pen but with all the rain it makes it a little hard to spread manure when the fields are soaked. The big guys are starting to look taller than the fence!

Hope you all had a great day.

Wordless Wednesday (heat)

Show and tell

We went up to the gun show in Old Forge. The weather was gloomy and wet. Was not easy trying to get a good picture of everyone as they just did not want to cooperate! The daughter was home from college for the weekend and it sure was nice having her home for a few days! The bottom picture is just one of the many creeks we saw on the way up and the fall colors are not going to be as nice this year, as it has been pretty darn wet and a lot of the leaves have fallen. Bought another hand gun.  I still have a ways before I am even with the hubby and his long rifles. Not much going on other than that. Had another load of logs come in yesterday and I will be posting pictures of how they come and how they are unloaded. Have a great evening.

Sunday Stills (droplets)

Not hard to find here! 

Weaving (rag rugs)

You have always seen my towels and table runners.  I had to show you the rag rugs that I also weave.  These are fun to weave and very easy also.    I wanted to give you an idea about all the things that I am able to weave.  I plan on starting another blog that will have all my weaving projects only, but that will be a while yet.  I want to get used to school first and get into the routine of school and things that have to be done on the farm and the weaving end.   Then I will do the new blog.  So, I hope you have a wonderful day!
