Sunday Scripture...

Psalm 33:12

Tiny Ideas...

 

One of my co-workers had a sad event in their life Wednesday afternoon, so I was called in last minute to cover hours for the gal who works the register so she could work in the kitchen for my co-worker. She and her family were outside when her husband was leaving in their truck. She told the dog to stay on the porch, but as is usually the case, the dog didn't listen. Her husband accidentally ran over the dog and killed it. My co-worker is understandably devastated and will not be to work for a while.

So, I got up a 4:30 yesterday morning, and was at work by 5:30 to work the opening shift. The sun was coming up, and there was a thick haze in the lowland areas on my drive. It was actually quite beautiful. In some areas the chickory is already blooming along the shoulders of the road, so the Queen Anne's Lace won't be far behind. 

The little time I did have to stitch, I pulled a few tiny frames and experimented with what I might like to put into them. Of course, my favorite wildflower - the Queen Anne's Lace - was my first choice.

I work late afternoon again today, so I'm planning to stitch a bit more during the day today. I've got something special I'm going to be working on over the weekend, so I'll let you know about that tomorrow.

I hope you all had a restful holiday, celebrating with friends and family. Handsome and I got the grill out for the first time this year and enjoyed burgers together - grilled - as they always should be. It was perfect.

I'm going to have my morning cuppa and pull out my needlework supplies. Today, I shall simply follow my muse. How about you?

Tuesdays With Tag - Independence Day…

 

Happy 4th!!

See you next week. 

Love and Smooches,

The Gang at Hickory Hill Farm

Celebrate...

 

PSA From The Critters At Hickory Hill Farm...

 

As you celebrate the founding of our country, please consider how including fireworks might affect wildlife, pets and military veterans. Celebrating is just as much fun without the noise. Thanks!

Tag, Bella, Carly, Claudette and Crystal, too!

Happy Birthday, America...

To honor our servicemen and women who bravely serve, 

both here and abroad, I'd like to dedicate our Nation's Pledge. 

Please take a moment and say it with me. 

God Bless our soldiers - and God Bless America.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of 

the United States of America

and to the Republic for which it stands

one nation, under God, indivisible

with Liberty and Justice for all.

I hope you and yours enjoy a happy and safe holiday celebration.

Disapproving Labrador Ahead...

I sat outside today to finish hand sewing the binding onto my latest quilt. Rather than take of photograph of my half-finished sewing, I chose to take Kessie's picture instead.

 Just like a child, she knew right away 
that I was pointing the camera at her...

and almost as quickly, I got the "disapproving Labrador" look.
Oh well. I tried.

Hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend. We sure are. (Although you couldn't tell from this picture!) I'll share the finished quilt with you after we finish celebrating.
