Beautiful sunrise

 

We each took a load of soybeans to Greencastle this morning

 

 

It was a beautiful sunrise

 

and there is a beautiful tree in Boonsboro.

 

 

The best time of the year !!

Is it smoke or is it dust.....

 

This time it was smoke !!!!  Doesn't look like it in the picture but it was coming out the front and the back.  I got back from taking a load of beans and they were hosing it down inside.  Don't know if a rock or a stray piece of metal might have gone inside and caused a spark or what.  Tried it again and it smoked again.  Hosed it down some more and tried it again and it did it again.  Hosed it down again and let it sit.   Checked it out in the dark and no glowing inside so hopefully the fire is out !!  Hopefully it will work OK tomorrow !!! 



Better late than never

I had another surprise this week when I got a check in the mail for my fair winnings and I got paid for an item that won Best of Show!!!  Since none of my items were in the Best of Show area and also didn't have that ribbon I called to see if it was a mistake.....

 

 

 

Well I'm happy to say that the pillow that gave me so much trouble making it won Best of Show and today I went and picked up the ribbon !!!  Quite a nice surprise !!

Autumn Tones Table Runner

Imagine my surprise this morning while looking at a Herrschner's catalog when I came across a kit for the Autumn Tones Table Runner pattern I made for Red Heart last year.

 

 

It's still available on the Red Heart website as a free download, too.

If anyone is interested in the kit I have a link to it under Joyce's Links.

Pretty cool !!



A little of this and a little of that

 

This was a day for a little bit of everything.

From helping Charlie "make hay"....

 

 

...and other things he wanted to do....

 

..then heading up to Harmony where Rick was shelling corn and hauling corn the rest of the day.

 

 

Never a dull moment around here !! 

 

Giant Gourd

 

Found this monster yesterday in my pumpkin (or should I say weed) patch !!  It's about 30" long !! and very heavy. Wish I had found it before the fair....
