Day 365 of 365

Wow - I can't believe that it has been a year.
This blog has been a wonderful way to mark a year in my life. Thanks for visiting. ❤

Day 364 of 365

Picked all the onions and shallots from the garden (everything is out of the garden now).

Day 363 of 365

Frost every night now, so it is time to bring in the house plants. I'll pot them up tomorrow.

Day 362 of 365

Yesterday we went to Grazing in the Field, a dining experience promoting locally produced and processed food.

 It was held at a beautiful dairy farm in Woodlands, Manitoba.

The 7 courses of food were amazing (the above soup is made from cream from where my husband works - his company was one of the partners and that is how we got to go).

The people were wonderful, and we had such a fun time. An all around great experience and worthy of 3 pictures (I did take lots of pictures last night).

Day 361 of 365

Sewing blocks for another little quilt.

Day 360 of 365

We walked along the train tracks tonight and saw why there were so many fire trucks the other day - a grass fire near the lumber yard.

We were off the tracks when this train came by.

Two pictures today as I only have 5 days left.

Day 359 of 365

We saw two paragliders on our evening walk.

Day 358 of 365

Back to volunteering after summer vacation (I am very lucky to get to volunteer at a school library).

Day 357 of 365

We went some where different for our evening walk.

Day 356 of 365

One slice of a Brandywine tomato covers a whole piece of bread (over 6" wide) - it was delicious.

Day 355 of 365

This picture was taken from the car on the way home after teaching free motion quilting all weekend (it was a wonderful experience, and every one did so well).

Day 354 of 365

Lots of bees on the sedum flowers.

Day 353 of 365

Cleaned the house from top

to bottom (I love a clean house).

Day 352 of 365

Back to regular routine (driving my youngest to and from school).

Day 351 of 365

Started getting ready for a 2-day free motion quilting class I am teaching this weekend (surprisingly I have lots of samples - guess I need another bin).

Day 350 of 365

Hard to see, but there were a few Cedar Waxwing birds enjoying the sprinkler today - the one on the arbor is a young one.

Day 349 of 365

We all took turns trying out the go-cart that my oldest son (in the picture) and my husband made. They made it from scratch - designed and welded the frame, figured out how to get all the components to work etc. It took a couple of summers and they are pleased that it is finally working.

Day 348 of 365

This moth was well camouflaged on the side of our house.

Day 347 of 365

Trying to figure out how to knit with more than one colour (the sleeves of a sweater - free pattern here).

Day 346 of 365

We went hiking in the Whiteshell today (a beautiful provincial park about 2 hours east of home, near the Manitoba/Ontario border).
