August happenings

The corn in the field is taller than the farmer by about 4 feet.  One of our favorite things is to walk through the field and get lost in the maze of stalks. Even on a sunny day, it is shady in the rows. Harvest will probably be in early October. The projected temperature today is 102 degrees, which may push the crop to finish sooner. Hopefully, it will be a good year. The prices are higher because many states had drought conditions, so that there is less corn to harvest nationwide.

This is a baby blanket made for the new pediatrician who had her baby on the 20th. I finished it the day before. Cutting it a little close! I haven't quilted much this summer. Too much work and too little play. Speaking of work, time to get ready. More to come, I promise.
