My oh My...

...what happened to November?!!! It has been one month since I last posted, and my sincerest apologies to those of you who participated in "What's On My Bed". I promise I will do a post about that soon. I LOVED all the photos that I received and I so want to share them. But...Here's my "blur" of a month.

I finished a lap quilt for a friend's birthday...





Worked goats, shipped kids and older nannies...




Made a trip to East Texas (4 1/2 hour drive one way) to deliver some goats and work my Border Collies...

Did my chores every day - here's the milk cow (Isabel) and her young calf (Ira)...



Enjoyed the splendor of autumn...



And then it got "frosted"...



We experienced 3 days of intermittent power outages and internet failure...





But kudos to our service people - they are awesome!

We didn't really suffer - we heat our house with wood...



But the light went out on the chicks, so they had to live in a box by the fire...


But as you can see, they are no worse for the wear.

I pieced some blocks for our guild's donation quilt...



Of course had a Thanksgiving feast with family...(sorry no "real" photos!)


And very best of all...spending tons of time with Gracen...




She was a little upset with "Nene". I had told her that we were going outside "in a minute". So she went into the mud room. I NEVER go outside for chores with out my cap and gloves, and this day they were setting on the bench we have in the mudroom - she was Ready to Go - she had donned them herself!!! What a little sweetie!!

I'm furiously stitching away on Christmas gifts - I won't share until after Christmas.

Hope this finds each of you filled with joy and experiencing abundant blessings!
