Boys Boys Boys

 My, my, how lucky can I be to have all my little boys come to visit again so soon. They and their parents came for the day because their dads had a project to do with their dad in the work shop. 


A pretty day to be outside and burn off a lot of energy. We rode four wheelers, played hide and seek, played with toy cars and trucks, and ate and drank every hour. 


The two littlest even took a nice nap and give this mawmaw and the moms a nice break. 


It was a great day!

Boy day

 Three of my favorite guys spent the day with us Sunday. A lot of work, a lot of playing, and a lot of eating filled the day. 

We met up at Lowes for Brandon to get lumber to work on his utility vehicle trailer that’s been at our house. Then a quick lunch at the Mexican restaurant before heading to our house to work on the trailer and play with this mawmaw the rest of the day.

Old and familiar

 The Dresden Plate quilt block reminds me of my grandma. It’s one of those patterns that is from another era, the 20’s and 30’s. I made my blocks a few years back and put them together and they just sat there. Until now. 

It would still be waiting to be quilted had I went to the dirt bike races and softball games for some of my little ones. But I missed all that fun and finished up this quilt instead. 


It’s been awhile since I made the top. I actually don’t remember how hard it was with the center circle and the connecting pieces. But boy am I glad to have it quilted and folded and added to my stash. 



No one has claimed it yet. But I’m sure one day someone will love it for it’s nostalgia and give it some love. But for now it’s mine!

A First

 A First Birthday for this sweetie. Our #5 grand turned one recently. A farm birthday party was so cute. 

Friends, family, gifts, and great food made for a special celebration for Wyatt. 


They grow up fast. I love seeing all my grands grow and learn and change and become all they can be. 


Happy Birthday to Wyatt!!

Pinks

 Work day in the yard is not finished. Roses and lilies and rose of Sharon and crepe myrtles and weeds are all green but no flowers. The only beauty was the azaleas along the driveway. 


Hoping the magic of flowering blooms happens soon.
