Favorite pics

This is my favorite picture of Flathead Lake. We have talked about nice places to retire, and the area around Big Fork is high on the list. Glacier Park is stunning. Some days I miss mountains, but I love the prairie too.

The picture of the first bloom from my peony. I love the color and the ruffles of the petals. The garden and the crops are beautiful this year. We just got rain, so the wheat should fill nicely. There was a fox in the grapes this morning when I left for work. Menu is fine, and enjoys his lap time after supper. I will miss him when he goes back to Laura this fall.

July 2010

We spent the weekend visiting in Missoula. The Saturday Farmer's Market offered produce and crafts. Everything was $2, making me think that we could have a new business project. Now we just give it away.

Tucker was not happy to be left behind, but Menu handled it just fine. The first night back, we had a summer thunderstorm, with flashes of light, loud cracks and heavy rumbles of thunder. Noisy rain, but the farmer was happy.

More travels to come...college tour, white coat ceremony, trip to Eugene, then off to Germany in September. I may not sew again until fall.

Quilt Story

Thanks to Alex, I am making progress on the Quilt Story again. The pictures are in the document and the layout is almost done. I am learning as I go. I wish I could absorb everything he showed me. It warms my heart to have multiple generations contribute to the project.

On the home front, the strawberry patch is still going strong. I have sore muscles from picking...how silly is that? Menu is a regular visitor to the garden. It's nice to see him act like he owns the place. After the holiday weekend, I am off to the quilt shop. This month is big for Christmas fabric sales. There are fun, contemporary lines this year, as well as more traditional cabin/lodge choices. Ahhh, fabric!
