Mid July

Yes, I'm alive. I think I'm alive. This past week has been hard on this old woman, but the pain meds are working and the Morphine is out of my system.

Did you know there's absolutely nothing on television during the day? When you're a couch-lizard for several days, one can get sick of home-decorating shows and food shows--does somebody actually eat that stuff? And, who put Rachel Ray and Martha on at the same time?

Since I can set at my computer for more than five minutes at a time, thought I'd post some pictures from the past few weeks.


Roses from a hospital-birthday-day. One of my favorite peeping-Toms.
Here's the finished (with binding and a label) log cabin. It's very scrappy...and has some very ugly/weird stuff in it, but it works. It will be given away this saturday.
The guys welding in the shop. One welder in this shop, so the other two wait.
Didn't figure out what he was measuring, but it came out square.
Taking the front/south concrete porch off from the old house. SOMEDAY...it'll be gone.

Burning wheat stubble. This year we burnt almost all of the wheat fields after we harvested them. We had a lot of spring rains, which meant we had a lot of wheat-stalks/plants.



A early morning visitor I had one day. There were three of these little critters and I could hear them before I could see them.
Lunch is cooking and if I'm not back to being a couch-lizard this afternoon, I may venture into the sewing room.

Still July

And we're still busy. Was reading somebody's blog and it had a "finish 5 by end of July" challenge button. That just ain't gonna happen at my house. I can't finish a sentence around here, let alone a project.


Well, I can say that I've finished one project this month-- a scrappy log-cabin for a wedding gift for my niece. Pictures will follow afterwhile...when I get the other pictures downloaded too.


This is just to let everybody know that I am still alive..barely. As you read this, I will be recooperating from minor surgery. A week off work and I'll be good-as-new....right? That is what the doctor says, so we'll see. The laundry and dishes are caught up but you know I'll get stir crazy....but I gotta heal!


Everybody have a good July!

First part of July

Life is busy....life is complicated...and life just never slows down.


If I could find a hand-held computer that would make farming simple, I'd for sure use it but it just isn't gonna happen.

Going to be super-busy for about a week...so be patience with me a few more days. I have some wonderful pictures (and news) to post...but just can't get it done right now.
