Quilts and Still Busy

 Riverton, Utah      High 89 Low 65

It has cooled off some and we have had some rain late in the afternoon for the last few days. It has been thunder-showers with lot of lightning and thunder. Unfortunately, Penny has been getting worse about things like fireworks and thunder. When there is lots of thunder she shivers and wants to be held.

I finished quilting three quilts since my last post. Pictures are below:












We finished another Dream Big Quilt, which I have been working on for the last week. I am not quite finished with it, so pictures will have to wait.

Cindy's garden has been going great with lots of tomatoes and zucchini. The cucumber plant I had a picture of last post has been going crazy. I am putting last post picture, with today's picture for comparison.

It is into the driveway at least another 18 inches in addition to getting fuller. We seem to have tons of blossoms with honey bees busy every day. Cindy has harvested lots of cucumbers already.

I am glad to see that Nancy is utilizing her computer on her Quilting machine. It does take lots longer than Edge to Edge, but the finished result more than makes it worthwhile.

Thanks for visiting.

Garden and Quilts

 Riverton, Utah        High 99 Low 66

It is still hot. Salt Lake made it to 102 today, which is 3 degrees shy of the record for the day.

Cindy has been busy quilting and working on her garden. All of the apricots finally fell, so we don't have them to clean up this year.

Some pictures of the garden and produce:


This is only half of Cindy's onion crop. 


We don't know what kind of squash this is.

Nancy might remember the cucumber plant that is growing onto our side walk. When she was here it only came out about half way onto the walk, and now it is clear across the side walk and further.


In the last two weeks I only quilted two quilts, one easy and one very custom which took me a while to quilt. We think Nancy gave Cindy the kit for this one.



I was trying for a 3-D look for the walk way. I think I made it.









Thanks for Visiting.
