Above is the rag rug I made in July. The rags (old sheets) were some I had for many years. The "white sheets had roses on them, so a bit of the print shows in the rug.
I have not done any crafts or sewing in the woods. I did a lot of mending. A lot of cleaning, a few big projects,(new cat enclosure) maintained the other 2 RVs, set up Corgi Cottage, cleaned the Lodge and the attached garage.
Each night going to bed stiff in pain. But it is all worth it. We moved here in 2016 from the lake. But we owned this land (with house, garage and farm buildings we tore down) for 17 years. We have really gone through all of our things here- with 4 loads to the dump. If we don't use it it should not be "stored". Donating isn't an option, our things here are super well loved. We bring our old stuff from home.
This year we only were able to come here for the month, but we got so much done, it feels good. Even if I'm stiff. :o) I accomplished my goal!
I'll do a new post next month on my fascination with rag rugs. I made the one here especially for Corgi Cottage. And yes I called the new RV "Betty" before but it just didn't fit. Neither Grandma liked camping anyway! ;o) I don't think they'd feel slighted in the least!
Katherine my granddaughter I've raised, is our nature, wild life photographer. She's 17 now. Above a spider we love to watch. He makes huge webs incredibly quickly!Samson posing for Elizabeth. This soccer ball is too hard for him to kick far. Sometimes he's outside every day, busy. Other days he's a couch potato who refuses to take out the garbage! ;o)Usually up here the boys wear socks outside. They rarely like to go in the grass. If they do go in the grass, they have light weight summer shoes and socks.
At home they wear hightops with AFOs. (foot orthotics) Here we are more relaxed. This fall they wanted to go barefoot! The weather was warm so I said o.k. They see that I/Mom never wear shoes or socks anywhere, if I can get away with it. I've been known to forget to bring my shoes home when we leave here at the end of our visit! (I only have 2 pair- not a shoe person!) I tease that shoes and socks are against my religion. ;o)
Above Moses loves using his feet to push his rider. Pauly at the table- he loves that table. Mercy laying down.
The boys have a lot of the same shirts. When there's a sale I buy as many as I can. Often I can't get assorted colors. We also do laundry here every other day(in town-washer)- so as clean clothes come in from the dryer we have here in the garage- they put them back on clean in the a.m.!
Julius and Jacob. Julius loves the folding camp chairs. He sets them up and gets out the toys.Moses went inside- he hated the bubbles! He watched from the window when he dared!
I'll leave you with some scenery that Katherine took. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Katherine knows how much I love night pictures. The moon at dusk.The leaf colors were unbelievably vivid this fall.
Behind the garage about 200' away our "gold" trees are always stunning. My favorite- they look like the sun is shining on them, they are so bright in person.
Thank You for stopping by. (((HUGS))) everyone
God Bless! These times are hard
Please leave a "hello" if you have time! :o)
Till next time-
Eliz~
oh- and this made me smile today-
Baby cakes is almost 9 weeks old. She sleeps like this 90% of the time. Our other Corgis just lay flat on tummies with legs sticking out. Rarely on their backs unless in their crate. This girl is too much fun!
