An August Finish...............

Earlier this month Terry at Terry's Treasures posted about a scrappy quilt she would be working on and invited her blog friends to join along.  She was planning on making two blocks a month starting in August, I was in the mood to play so I started cutting up my scraps and voila here are the first two finished blocks, a few days early!


If you like mine take a moment to stop and visit Terry by clicking the above link and you can join along.

The Garden

This.....................



Is now this...........................




The morning glories should be blooming any day!
A closer look at some of the treats................






In the chicken yard, I am sorry to say that earlier this summer one of my original hens passed away.  I think she was broken hearted, the day we gave "Rudy" away she started acting differently and less than a week later she was gone.  I also added four new hens and a new younger man named  "George"  (previous owners thought he was a she), the pecking order has been established and egg production is back to normal.   

Here's George when he first arrived at the end of June.............

Here he is now..............
He has recently started to crow, sounds a little crackly but improving daily, LOL!  I am planning on expanding the yard later this summer and building another smaller coop as a back up, in case I need to separate the hens for a spell or if I ever decide to try hatching eggs from my hens.

Hoping to update what's going on in the quilting room soon.................
