Around the farm...

 I forgot to take photos of my quilt progress but I'll try to show that next time.  With the heat upstairs I will sew downstairs like I did last summer.  Right now I have 4 machines downstairs but yesterday I pieced on my Singer 328K Style-O-Matic.  She sews well and I like sewing on her.  She sits in the corner of my dining area. 
I pieced 6 more blocks on my Star Gazing quilt.  I have 5 more that are cut and partially pieced, so I will finish those today and maybe start with the strips...if I decide to put those in.  After I get all of that pieced then I will decide if I want/need 5 more blocks to make 30.

Here are a few more random photos...this first set was taken yesterday morning as Hunter and I were feeding.  The horses were feeling sassy and playing around in the rain and mud.  We have 4 horses but I only got photos of 3 of them because Andrew's horse is in the stall and he just kept turning his behind to me every time I tried to take a photo. 
I love this photo of Rhett, my rooster.  Can you tell that I love the movie, "Gone With the Wind"?  :)  He is so big and stays so clean and white.  The white hen that I have is named, Scarlet and then I have Mammy and so on...
Last night we drove to town so that Hunter could see the fireworks.  We had a nice time and of course, he loved them.  Andrew didn't get to go because he had to work until midnight. 
This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago at Richard's grandmother's 93rd birthday celebration!!!  She had a wonderful time and it was a Blessing getting to spend it with her.  Andrew wasn't able to make this either because of work.  :(  So in this photo is...me, Hunter, Richard, and Willard (Richard's uncle)  Poor Willard had just lost his precious wife a couple of weeks before this.  Richard hates this photo because for some reason he looks like he has a big grey spot on his face, I promise he doesn't.  LOL. 
So that is all for today.  It is almost 7am so time for me to get my day started...

Thanks for sharing, Kristie. You've got a great looking family.

I got a kick out of all of the "GWTW" names for your animals. Now you just need to change your farm name to Tara (though I love its current name).
