Go Royals!

 Just in case the neighbors had any doubts as to

which team we will be rooting for in tonights final game of the World Series...

C'mon Boys in Blue,

Let's slay some giants!

Go Royals!!

Pure Delight

Pure delight.

Total happiness.

Big smiles.

Wild sunflowers.

One reason to love this place I call home.

Purple, Of Course

Starting up a baby afghan. (Giant granny.)

Yet another wee one about to make an appearance in the family.

Shades of blue, green, gray, cream AND purple, of course.

Using liberal doses of my niece's favorite color!

:-)

Strawberries And Ice-Cream

One scoop of ice-cream with strawberries on top.

Simple.

Perfection.

Treat yourself to something sweet this holiday weekend!

Black-Eyed-Susan

A little bit of sunshine to start your weekend.

at the Shawnee Indian Mission.

Ohio Quilt Barn

I stumbled across this wonderful old weathered quilt barn 

on my way to my niece's wedding. 

I haven't been able to locate this barn on the Quilt Trail map

but it was near Hillsboro, Ohio. (Brown or Highland Co?)

 This starry block is sometimes called "Milky Way".  

If you are from the southwest corner of Ohio and have more info, 

please let me know.

Watermelon And Cantaloupe Baby

Isn't this just the cutest?

A friend made this delightful fruit presentation for my daughter's baby shower.

All you need is:

  watermelon (stroller)

 cantaloupe (baby)

 orange (wheels)

blueberries (eyes)

other berries/fruit (red grapes and strawberries shown here)

a few toothpicks

a pacifier 

and a little bit of time to carve, chop, peel, and get creative.

Wild Roses Growing Along The Fence

I went to visit my grandfather yesterday.

The flowers in my hand could not compete with what nature had already provided;

Wild roses growing along the fence,  just steps from where he rests.
