On the Third Day

-
We have been having spectacular fall weather. I went to the quilt show at Expo yesterday and am so impressed with all the beautiful quilts. Tomorrow I'll put some of those pictures in the blog.
*******************************

So now on the third day here is the next verse:

On the Third Day of Autumn my true love gave to me

Three caramel apples
Two Candy Corn and an
Acorn from an old oak tree      are you singing along yet??

Fun facts

·                  The pumpkin is a member of the gourd family, which is native to the Western Hemisphere. There is evidence to support that the natives of Mexico were eating gourds as early as 5500 BC.

·                  Why is the season called "Fall"? What happens in the natural world during this season? The leaves on many trees die and fall to the ground. About five hundred (500) years ago, when Middle English was spoken, expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year" were quite common, and the season name "Fall" comes from them.
  • The leave colors red, yellow & brown are in the leaves all year long & only become exposed when the green chlorophyll disappears in the fall.

We are so blessed to live in this beautiful area. We have the ocean and the mountains and the desert all within a short distance. I love living here. Take some time and go on a drive and look at the colors. Visit a winery or go to a far away vegetable stand and see what is being harvested. 


Genesis 8:22
"While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease."
Enjoy day 3 of Autumn and I'll see you tomorrow...Betty

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
