So for the sake of breathing a little life back into the old blog, here are some pictures of positive things that have been happening:


I made jam out of plums from a few trees out at PineTop. This was my first foray into jam making and it turned out very well (if I do say so myself, and I do).

And finally, my new quilting project. The pattern is "Depression Block", which seems appropriate. I'm using all purples and grays, and I think it's turning out pretty well. Having a project like this going gives me something to do with myself in the evenings, besides, you know, cleaning house or something dumb like that.
Thanks to anyone who still checks in occasionally, despite my neglectful ways.
