unfinished stitching.......

amongst the baskets of unfinished projects ......................mom's stitching of blues ...............................i find it comforting somehow to glance over..............see her handwork and know that i was taught by loving hands.......................................oh yes i have been so blessed !

oh the touch of autumn....

i am joining the link with "1890 Gable House" with just a touch of autumn......oh the smells in the air.....the crisp mornings.....the crunch of the leaves .......the memories of my husband in the fields harvesting the crops............................oh just the feel of warmth around us.....a cozy fire soon.....the candles burning......a hayride......fodder shock.....pumpkins & mums .........ummmmm...............................................................i am blessed...................................... go along for a visit with all of us to www.1890gablehousemusings.blogspot.com
