{affiliate links included} Linking up with Ginny and Frontier Dreams and Decor to Adore. I snapped some pictures just-around-the-house again for this week’s Yarn Along. I finished this Bible study book this week. Faithful, Abundant, True. I started it back in September and worked slowly along! It’s a six-week study. Kay Arthur teaches the first two […]
Monday Morning Musings
That Kitty hadn’t shown up for a post for a while and he was shyly wondering if he could again this week. Of course, I said “Yes.” What a week it’s been! Good in a lot of ways. Bunches and bunches of reasons for gratitude. A week ago today, I was busily working to […]

Another week! I found these bamboo clothespins at World Market. I’m excited to give them a try. Most likely not until next spring, though we do keep having really, really pretty days. We made cornmeal rolls in the shape of acorns and leaves. They turned a little wonky when they raised, but were fun just […]

We had a lot of gorgeous weather this week and I’ve just been drinking it in. For starters, there wasn’t much wind. LOVE THAT!! We built a campfire one evening. It was just plain lovely. Chilly enough that the heat from the flames felt good, but not so cold that you wanted to huddle as […]

An end-of-summer/beginning-of-fall look. We late-planted some gourds and pumpkins and they are growing. Tucker picked a few beginners for me. The flowers look a bit bedraggled from the heat and the croquet balls speak of summer days and the gourds hint of autumn. Matthew & I spent a day out with friends. I took a few […]
Yarn Along {The Shy Little Kitten}
That Kitty likes this book, I think. The Shy Little Kitten. I love Little Golden Books. When Renae was small she had a Go Fish game. The cards were a larger size and instead of fish on the cards, each set was characters from the Little Golden Books. There was the Saggy Baggy Elephant and […]

I think That Kitty is glad to be home from Ohio. He just showed up everywhere. Gray, dampy mornings. Turkeys continue to show up. Thinking about the word amenable. This trait was discussed by Mary and Nancy in the True Woman 201 session I watched this week. It means in simple terms to have […]

Cultivating Beauty ~ I keep thinking about it this month, thanks to the category for July in the Choose Gratitude journal. Fresh peaches ~ they’ve been so yummy! Sweet Corn! From our grassy corn patch. It’s Incredible! Literally. That’s the kind we mostly plant and our favorite. My sister-in-law shared green beans with us on […]

Renae had this Cameo Appearance flexi in at the beginning of last week and I loved how it looked with her braid and her shirt. Harvest kept on rolling. Peterbilt kept rolling. For the most part. Combine breakdown at the end of the week. We encountered way too many ticks one night at the field. […]

THAT Kitty! Renae and I went to a craft class at our local library and made these little chalkboards. It was fun and we were both excited with our chalkboards. It was fun to see all the variety in the class. Combine, combine, there’s our combine…. My poor man has spent an awful lot of […]
