My Fair Project
A few years ago, David bought me a book with 200 different crochet squares. This is my first project using it. I had to adapt the hour glass squares - the pattern in the book was more like a step pyramid. I haven't totally decided how I'm going to put them together, but I'm thinking four sections with these top nine blocks. Each section bordered with a complementary color and then sewn together. Hopefully I will have it done by fair time.

A Winter Wonderland
As I opened my door last night and saw the porch light reflecting on the snow, it struck me that it looked like someone had dusted my front yard with diamond dust. So beautiful. So magical. The quiet of a snow covered world is so peaceful
Without winter were would we be? Without the freezing temperatures, many of our plants would not be able to flower. What would it be like if we all had weather like Arizona, Southern California or Florida? I suspect there would be more hunger and thirst as those regions don't have the moisture to raise enough crops to feed us.

A Busy Labor Day Weekend!
Well, I think we are ready for winter. This weekend after freezing 40 quart bags of corn, we started making tomato sauce. I haven't transferred the sauce to freezer bags yet, but I'd guess we made about 6 galllons to add to the 6 gallons we already have. We already have plenty of green beans and diced tomatoes in the freezer. I didn't take pictures of the tomato process - but have posted pictures of what it took to do the corn.
