Sheep Fan/Sheep report

I live one freeway exit away from the zoo. It is a lovely zoo behind rolling grass hills. In the summer the grass is golden and tall
unless the rent-a-hurd-of sheep have munched it down. This time of year the green is returning. The sheep were nowhere to be
seen the last time I passed by those rolling hills but I knew they had been there. No tall grass to be seen only nubs and sprouting
patches of green.
Another note about the rent a sheep hurd. If I want to go to the ocean for a stroll on the cliffs, I go over the coastal range to a
town that has Christmas tree farms, pumpkin patches, flower farms and a coastal easement that is full of tall grass and flowers
particularly thistle. My dog loves to run wildly through this area. Horses sometimes take the coastal trails and the last time
we were ambling through this are the sheep were on the south side of the easement clearing the thistle and brambles.
I love sheep and the out of doors.

Hat-lee

Sometimes a girl just feels hat-lee.
Especially on vacation.

I wish I had taken a picture

I went to a quilt show that was called Quilting in the Garden. There wer 250+ quilts and alot of vendors. The quilts were
hanging from these giant old oaks. It was a lovely setting. It was held at a nursery which was enormous. There was a huge
barn with all kinds of nusery flowers, gifts, china, pottery. Then the garden. There were oodles and oodles of flowers and
plants and trees to buy and gardeners giving demonstrations. There were vignettes everywhere of flowers. I didn't remember
one I saw until after I got home. It was a four poster brass bed and the pillows and bed cover were allysum, panseys, violettas.
In my minds eye it was so soft and lush. I will dream of sleeping in a bed of flowers.

Just wanted to post something


It's been a cool foggy summer but this area will be getting warmer in September and October.
I have been enjoying sweet corn of this time of year, tomatoes,my "ripe-when- they- stripe"
Gravenstein apples, and my strawberries.
Get outside. Capture the noon time sun. I can play with my snippets of time. Five minutes
here and five there.
On the way passed the zoo, the grass was dry last week. The goats were out early in June and
munched all the green grass. I knew those goats needed to get out there again.Passsed
again today and noticed the munchers had done there job. Love those rent-a-goats.

More borders for Keystone


Sometimes the quilt leads us where we would not have gone.
I did not choose the colors of this quilt, the quilt did. These are
not my typical color choices but as this quilt came together one border at a time
I just played with it until it was done. I love the quilt because I learned alot while
it came together.
