Farm Life and Sequoia Quilts

Life …
I kept Talya and Georgi one day this week so their mother could help shampoo rugs at the school.

Ashton looks higher than he really is.

We took a walk out the lane to get the mail.

The water has been leaking from the pond. Usually this is no place for the grandchildren to play; but since I was with them they had great fun throwing rocks.

Paul & Ashton took me on a 4-wheeler ride across the road to look for deer. Instead, we saw lots of egrets roosting.

My nephew Andy and his brother’s daughter, Emorie came last evening and spent the night on their way to Texas.

There’s a red tint to some of the roofs at the shop.IMG_6335

Notice how the kernels of corn have little bits of red at the tip.

It’s kind of like chaff and the farmers call it “bee’s wings.”

The two sequoias I started earlier are now finished. These measure 5”X7”.
