"A Beautiful Month"

Putting on a pretty face . . .

clock face that is :)

 

  

 

Two of my dearest friends  

moved out of our neighborhood this week.

In their downsizing, they gifted me

with this gorgeous clock.

In my on-line research,

I've discovered that it was 

probably made around 1890.

During the depression when he was 

around 12 or 13 a man came to his father's 

Union 76 gas station and asked if he would

take this clock in exchange for 

a tank of gas. 

I love a good story . . .

there's more to it than that,

but I have a lot of photos to

share today . . .

 

On the home front . . .

I dried tomatoes for the first time.

 

 

 They are so pretty and I ended

up with this gallon jar 

filled to the brim :)

 

 

I also visited a local orchard

and purchased apples.

 

And proceeded . . .

 

16 pints of applesauce :)

 

 

This quilt was made as a group

effort by me and four ladies

in our Thursday quilt group.

It was a going away gift 

to the neighbors that 

gave me the lovely clock.

 

 

Another thing that I did this month

was move my sewing from the barn

to the house.

A girlfriend helped me put

up a design board.

 

This is my first project on it :)

 

 

To finish off this blog post

I'll share some photos from 

A Farm Fall Festival

that I attended with a sweet friend

this month.

 

 

 

This is my friend Rebecca

and her lovely companion

Lorraine :)

 

 

 Beulah and Lorraine 

have become playmates :)

 

 

My final photo in this post.

Is this not the most unique 

mailbox you've ever seen?

I drove past it and had to turn

around and go back to take this

photo.

Thank you for visiting,

I just want to say  . . .

with all the wars and rumors 

of wars going on in our world today,

remember to keep Jesus close 

and know that He loves you.

 

Faith is stronger than Fear,

put your trust in Him and Him alone.

God bless you,

your blogging sister,

Connie :)
