This might not be considered “fine dining” in some places, but when its summer in Texas… it is fine dining at its best.
There’s just no way to beat fresh green beans, new potatoes, squash and tomatoes. Garden fresh and on the plate. Yum!

I finally took the plunge and did something with my YouTube Channel. It was started about a year ago and only two videos were uploaded to see if the quality was acceptable. That’s it…until about a week ago. I have videos on my website, but it seemed the right time to get some on YouTube, so about ten or so now reside there as well.
Of course, I want to have it a bit more personal, and because I’m an avid leaf peeper, I just can’t keep myself from putting those leaves into everything. I could tell you more about the channel, but I don’t want to spoil it; so by clicking on the YouTube logo you will be taken directly to my channel!
I didn’t make all the videos myself. Hubby makes some, I make some, and we work on some together. They are all quilt related and I think you’ll like them!
Oh by the way, the newest one in the list is a special thank you to Marguerita McManus. I’m certain those of you in the quilting community will know of Marguerita and all she does to help everyone. Oh, it’s not just about how to make a quilt with her, she’s going to help you with PR, marketing, videography, quilting, making sewing tables, and more!
Check out the thank you video to Marguerita and leave a comment on the channel so she can see you appreciate her too!

About once a year the owner of one of the pastures adjacent to ours
has a crop duster spray…
and it is a fun thing to watch.
About a week ago he was flying from east to west
(which would be horizontally across this pic)
and I didn’t catch him soon enough to get a pic.
I’m standing on my grass and shooting toward the pasture to the south.
This time he was flying north to south and right over me.
It was tough to get the shot as he flew over because the
camera shutter speed was too slow.
So I tried to anticipate when he would come out behind the trees and
snap just before he emerged.
As you can see, I had limited success.

I know I could buy one, but there is so much fabric lying around I just couldn’t resist.
I needed a place for ear buds…
To accommodate the thick case on the back of the iphone,
I made this one slightly larger than
the first one I put together.
It’s really not crooked, just the foreshortening of the photo.

Picture in your mind the cattle drives of old. Cowboys on horses riding along beside the herd heading for their destination. Occasionally a cow breaks loose from the others, and the cowboy is off to bring the maverick back into the fold. You’ve seen it in most westerns, but it doesn’t compare to a cattle drive from one pasture to another via a county road.
Now picture hungry cows heading for greener pastures (excuse the pun) and today’s method of cow punching. Horses aren’t always used, instead four wheelers and neighbors try to corral the group of head strong animals. They begin their journey in the neighbor’s yard and are progressing at a nice pace following the call of the neighbor from a four wheeler in front of the pack. In the rear of the herd is the neighbor’s husband carrying a big stick, yep, a big stick. She’s calling, “come on babies, come on babies” and they are trucking along behind her until they pass through another neighbor’s green grass and flower bed. That neighbor was calmy sitting on her porch expecting to watch the exciting trail ride until she sees the cows headed for her flower bed. Oh, she jumped off the porch lickety split, but too late. They munched away!
There was no getting those cows to budge from those yummy plants. The man with the big stick finally got them away from the angry neighbor and they headed out the gate onto the county road. Do you think cows will leave one gate, calmly walk on the road and up a driveway into another gate? (more…)
