Hello dear friends - yes, it has been quite a while since I checked in. Summer is such a busy time of year, that I rarely get a chance to sit at the computer and check into blogland. We had a very hot and dry Summer, with little appreciable rain until the last couple weeks.
Mowing, gardening, outside projects, and now produce from the garden are keeping me very busy. Add some overnight visits with the grandchildren, and this is one busy Grammy. In between times, I try to squeeze in a little quilting and crafting, but all in all, my sewing room has been vacant most of the last few months.
We didn't take a vacation again this Summer. With the completion of our new garage, the hubby and I have been so busy with landscaping and wiring, putting up walls for his workshop...the list goes on. We have managed to take the pontoon boat out several weekends, to enjoy time with our boys and their kiddos.
I guess the best way to convey my Summer is by a montage of photos...so here goes!

Okay folks, I hope I haven't bored you too much with all the kiddos photos, but really, that is what our life is all about. Family, projects and such.
Hope your Summer has been a fun one. As we gear up for Fall, I have a few goodies in my Etsy shoppe or on my FB business page for sale....more to come....
Happy September!
Your summer looks like a wonderful kind of full, Wendy. You have such a beautiful family and are blessed to be able to spend so much time with them. And your creek looks amazing! We had a large, winding, creek that ran through our farm growing up and it is where I spent much of my childhood time. Love your fall folk...and your appliqué WIP. Happy September... ~Robin~ (TheCrankyCrow)
