St. Josef's Winery

Paul and I had a wonderful day going to fruit stands, out to lunch, checking out the Outlet Mall and winding up at St Josef's winery in Canby of all places. We missed seeing John and Alexis but other than that it was a relaxing and fun day.

Things They Are a Changin'

Here is a picture of our new counters and backsplash. Not a great picture maybe but I was focused on getting the cookbook in the picture. The cabinets are newly installed. As of about an hour ago the doors are on the bottom 3 shelves on each side. They look GREAT.

Quilt News (Optional Reading)

Just finished this quilt today to send off the Paul's nephew and his wife whose baby boy is now a few days overdue. Mother's favorite color is brown so that explains the color choices...the longhorns on the back are a surprise. This is the quilt I was working on the same day our tile backsplash was installed. Tile, fabric, we were both doing the same thing. 

A Lot of Bull

For the second time in 2 weeks the cows got in the horse pasture behind us. Today this fella was about 10 feet behind our fence. Paul took this picture standing in our backyard. Not to worry, we made friends and are playing Hide and Seek below. I'm just out of the frame but see if you can find Brewster. 

Tater Harvest and more!

We had the best day today. We all picked potatoes which we later had for dinner. A squirt gun fight broke out with everyone leaving wet. I just want to mention that holding a camera or even a baby does not prevent you from getting wet. In fact, being a baby didn't keep you dry either. Between the air show above us, the slip and slide in the grass, games and the hot weather we had so much fun. We have a great family!

Farmer Julia

Here are my very first potatoes! I had so much fun digging them out....it's like a treasure hunt! I'm leaving the rest to do with Clark. We tried one and it was wonderful. Now I'm off to buy overalls like any good farmer.
