Home safe, with treasures

This is one sweet little car...

 I did not think I would ever want a car after driving my Kia van for 8 years but I think I could be very happy with one of these. Honey made it home in 12 hours just like he said he would.

 And look what he brought home from our oldest son's house! Our farmer son has a great garden just about every year. We also have a watermelon, honey dew, some cabbage, and all kinds of peppers. I can hardly wait to have some fried green tomatoes.

 When honey was in Arkansas he stayed with his niece. She sent him home with this for me.... an unfinished quilt top, started by his mother years ago. She passed away in the late 70's but it stayed in a chest for many more years until after his father passed in the 80's and then was not discovered until his brother Wyett, who never left home passed away in the late 90's. I can hardly wait to finish it. I think it will be my project for this winter. Sure will look nice on our bed.

 This is a picture of Dad & Mon Massey taken not to long before she passed away. She was a great cook and quilter but he could grow anything.....these beautiful dahlia was just a sample.

Long gone but not forgotten.

A little before & after

 No wonder I did not feel like doing anything creative in here...this is the table I work from before I cleaned it up and also the area at the other end where  I keep a lot of my supplies. Both places had not been organized in awhile, as you can see.

 Now with the same two areas all cleaned up maybe I will want to spend some time in here. Nothing is new but at least now I will be able to find what I am looking for.

 Then it is a trip out into the yard to enjoy watching some of God's handy work. It is still quite warm here in north Florida, but early in the mornings it is cool. We have a few flowers left over from this summers plants.

 You have to be pretty fast as they do not sit still long. I had looked out the window and saw a green humming bird and that is why I grabbed the camera and ran out....to late it was gone.

 I was very pleased to get two different butterflies and a dragon fly.

 And this guy.....he did not even seem to be in much of a hurry.
Enjoy yourselves little critters, summer is almost gone.
