Thursday, February 26, 2015. Lyla Mae is waving hello to all of us. Today is her birthday. She was born early this morning at 2:26. She is 7 lb. 10 oz. and is 19" long. Mom and Dad are well and happy. Lyla will join her sisters Bee and Rootie Tootie. We're all so excited and blessed. Links to this post. Monday, February 23, 2015. I hope you are staying warm wherever you are. I have had an all-day roaring fire for two days straight; it has been so cold here, but no snow so I can still wear my cowgirl ...

Friday, June 19, 2015. On one end of the ranch there's a large colony. And on the other, yet a larger bunch. How great to get the honey! I love my bees! Im happy for you. There is so much you can use honey for, besides eating on toast. I cant wait to hear how the honey tastes. I cant wait to read about your honey plans! Some of the large beekeepers here do the same thing.and usually reward the farmers with lots of honey :)! Another proof that there are still some good things that come from CA! I watched ...

Sunday, August 23, 2015. Roasted, dried tomatoes. Well, hi there! It's been a while since I've checked in. I'm so glad to be here and wanting to chat with you for a little bit. I've not been feeling well. All of us here got the coughing crud, but mine turned into something else. Finally, after all my home remedies, and not getting better, I drove in to the walk-in clinic (that sounds funny, doesn't it? Well that's me. Today I'm making up for some of those under-the-weather days. They are SO DELICIOUS!

Saturday, July 25, 2015. A dear friend of mine remembered me on my birthday with this fun beaded wrap bracelet called the Mirembe Wrap Bracelet. I absolutely love it! Every time I wear my bracelet, I think of the woman who might have made my bracelet, and I think of the friend who gave it to me. These are the gifts that give back. I just wanted to share Bead for Life. With you in case you have some special people you'd like to give a special gift to. Links to this post. Labels: Bead For Life. And how abo...

Gumbo Lily: New threads....
http://gumbo-lily.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-threads.html
Thursday, June 23, 2011. Betsy's (crazy) Quilt front. I've finally finished it! Betsy's (crazy) Quilt. I've learned a lot on this quilt. I always learn a lot when I quilt or sew almost anything - mostly from my mistakes and challenges. That's good, I suppose, but this quilt almost drove me crazy, therefore the name. I had a lot of trouble as you might have read about here. But, but, but! I was researching free-motion (FM) quilting and found this very informative site, The Free Motion Quilting Project.

Saturday, May 30, 2015. Two little girls with no summer nighties. An orange-y and a white-y! For the white peasant nightie I used the pattern from Leila and Ben. The orange nightie was made from this tutorial. Both were made from men's T-shirts. Links to this post. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Meadow Mushrooms and May Lambs. While the nice rains have been falling, the ground has been softening up, and guess what's popping through? Can you spot two meadow agaricus in the pasture? I found out today that the Wo...

Gumbo Lily: Nature Notes....
http://gumbo-lily.blogspot.com/2015/07/nature-notes.html
Friday, July 03, 2015. Both photos by Marlin 05. Yesterday I spent most of the day mowing and while I was gazing off, I saw this giant wasp with a 6" long poker floating below her. I had seen this creature before and I knew what she was, but still, it's quite exciting to see something like it just floating by nonchalantly. I suppose to her it was not a nonchalant flight. I'm sure she was on a mission! The female Ichneumon Wasp. No power tools, no torque wrench, no chainsaw! They say Ichneumon wasps won't...

Monday, June 29, 2015. Haying - full tilt. The weather has turned hot and sunny and so as the saying goes, we make hay while the sun shines! That is a most wonderful crop report! Its so nice to hear good news. The Lord gave you just perfect weather for your needs. Isnt it wonderful how the earth responds to such lovely weather by making so much LIFE? My brothers blueberry farm appears to be having a good season too in the mountains of WVa, a far cry from your open plains. Blessings everywhere. All that w...

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Bee and Rootie Tootie). More new twirly skirts to show you! The pattern is free, courtesy of Made by Dana. One good thing about this pattern is you can also make one for yourself! There is an adult version and I 'm excited to make one for myself. These skirts go together fast because they are so simple - one piece of fabric with no seams, a wide elastic waistband, and a hem. Fast and easy. Do you see the brown skirt above? Even our newest baby grandgirl got a couple twirly skirts!

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. P hoto by Eugene Beckes. Photo by Walter Siegmund. I watched these beautiful creatures hunting mice in the hayfield this morning while I raked hay. It was one of those days that I wished I had my camera and didn't. At least I had my eyes and the photos in my mind. I enjoyed every moment watching them as I drove up and down the field.
