My Weekend Work

Yes, some of my Weekend Work and so it continues today with Bread Baking in the Oven; hopefully, the weather will improve tomorrow so that we can get some more Hay-Making done...Not that I am anxious to do that type of work but I am hoping to have it done before our wonderful "Rug Hooker's Weekend" on Woody Island the last three days of September.  Fingers crossed, please...:)

Here are some of my photos:

The Beginning of my pickles









Then comes the back-breaking job of cutting all the veggies

 The Final Result...32 jars of "Million Dollar Pickles".

 Those are some great broccoli that we grew...All Organically Grown, of course.

 Cauliflower was plentiful this year, as well..Some of our Green Peas in the Background...More to come yet.

 One Morning's Grab....cherry tomatoes and cucumber....Green house was very co-operative this year...

Sharing just a couple of pics. of my beautiful Lilies....
Hope you enjoy looking at those....Have a Great Day!!!

My Latest Project

I know a few of you have seen this post on my Facebook Page, but others have not and I would like to share.

My niece asked me to hook a mat for her with Newfoundland style houses and a Yellow Boat because her Dad fished for a great part of his life and that was the color he used.  Her Dad passed away about three years ago so the wheels began to turn in my head and I decided to ADD her Dad.  I searched her facebook page and found this picture of Him and thought this would be a good idea if I could hook it.

Anyways, this is the result.  What do you think???

Gardening....

Sharing some pictures of our Great Garden and some of the Benefits....

Something Exciting...

Well, I have just landed from being on the wings of a Snowbird....yes, in Summer :)  You all know that I have some of my art displayed and for sale at a Museum in N.S....well, yesterday one of those sold, don't know which one yet,  and to no other than our great Singing Artist, ANNE MURRAY.  She has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager and still is, of course.  I am so very pleased and have been swamped with compliments, etc., since then.....Am I lucky, or what????

Good Morning To You All.  First of all I want to thank my newest follower, Farm Girl, for joining me; Second, to Thank All of You for the comments on my last post.  We prayed for rain, which began the next day that I posted, and it hasn't stopped since.  Thanks, Kim, for sending it across the Gulf to us.  I forgot to say we didn't want a lot...LOL!!!

 I was fortunate enough to have been asked by Suzanne Conrod of "Hooked Rug Museum of North America Society" In  Hubbards, Nova Scotia  to display some of my Mats there.  Of course I jumped at the chance .  I am posting a picture of some of those on display there.  Can you pick mine from All those Beauties?  Who Knows, I may sell one or two....
Have a wonderful day and I will be back soon....BTW: Gardens are growing beautifully.

Gardening

Hello to Everyone...I was disappointed to see I had Lost a follower...I am not a faithful blogger, as you know, so I suppose that is the reason.

Well, I didn't think I would ever live long enough to wish for RAIN.  We have had about three weeks of exceptionally dry weather, temperatures soaring for this area and the gardens are suffering for it.  The lawn is brown rather than green and because we use Well water, there is none to spare for it, just nursing the vegetable gardens along.

Thankfully, potatoes don't need much extra water and they are doing ok.

The onions are doing wonderful; however, the carrots are not thriving at this point.

Newly potted broccoli, cauliflower, swiss chard, etc.

Last, but not least, the beautiful heap of COMPOST that is a huge part of our Organic Gardens.  And just look at that beautiful view we have from our homestead.

We will have to keep our fingers crossed that nature will soon take pity on us.  A look at some of my flowers next post.
Happy Gardening and Hooking, All.

Newest Project

Good COLD morning to all my blogger friends.  We have been spoiled in our area because May was such a beautifully warm month, we thought we would see more of it in June....Not thus far....The main thing is if we have our health we shouldn't complain.

Sharing my newest mat.  "Spreading Fish" has been a huge success for me and I thought I would change this one and include Men. 

Hope you like it.
