Signs of fall

This is one of the bulbs Mom gave us for Christmas. It has beautiful depth of color. We are enjoying watching the garden, and the vineyard. We had angelfood cake with our homegrown raspberries for dessert.

The wheat harvest will start this week. Hopefully we will have warm, dry days and no mechanical problems along the way. This has become my favorite time of year.

This was the last week for L. at the quilt shop. She designed and made these pillows all by herself. I am much impressed. We had a good time with her and will miss her.

Speaking of quilting, the binding is going on the quilt bound for Oregon. It is beautiful. I am excited to have it finished.

I need to learn to control my quilting urges. I have many partly finished projects, all of which are calling to me. I need to just shut the door to the sewing room and take a deep breath, and pause.

This week we took a load of stuff to Missoula for the college apartment. L. picked out a futon for the living room. Here is the proud crew after assembly is complete. Lance's kids are on the sides and the other is L.'s roommate. She is also dating Alex. Its a small world.

Hard to believe school is starting. The summer has flown by. To my students, study hard, eat your vegetables and finish strong.

Love, Marmee
