We've been busy ! Of Course !
We made V8 one day. the raw was very good , mm mm mm, But after canning it tasted gross,, something changed within the cooked flavors. Ill make chili with it
Another day we prepped to can the row of beets. We had big dreams on that row of beets... sooo many jars.....
.. It made a monster mess of PINK, but only gave us 9 jars.
Then we took a break ! Off to Des Moines.. The sun still shining, News predicted a week of sun shine..
We headed to DesMoines to the AQS show.. Day One was wonderful.. Day two was the show.. day 3 was tropical 85 with like 85 humidity ooooo....day 4. 5. 6 Rain ...
the puppies came with us, they luv all the walks around the parks... This was the midnight quickie...
Tim has been right beside me with all the canning and gardening, We named him Employee of the month........ well, here he is in DM with the proper parking perks even ! loll
The AQS quilt show is BIG. Fancy. Talented. Awesome. Inspiring...
This is a type of log cabin.. pretty brights.. neat movement within.
I was drawn to the brights this year....
SO MANY many were fancy machine quiting. It really has taken over the shows. Double click the pics for close ups ,, you'll see why ...

postage stamp quilt... million billion bits..... 1" size
scrappy layout.. all colors will work...

At one of our stops in DM was a stand of neglected apple trees. LOADED.. I found two grocery bags and filled them till they were bursting.... As soon as we got home it was back to the 'work'. They needed putting up!... two batches made 14 jars for the shelves
home again home again.
