Hayless in PA, But That's OK

And so the rain continues...

heavy, heavy rains yesterday!

During the morning hours,

before the heavy rains,

I worked in the garden and pulled out a lot of tomato plants.

It was an awful summer for tomatoes.

Most did not ripen, but rotted on the vine.

Eventually, even the vines rotted from the cool moist weather.

Oh well...there's always next summer, right?

We are in wedding planning mode around here

and probably will be for the next 10 months.

It's official, Amanda is engaged!

Her beau, Tim, proposed as they hiked through the Shenandoah Mountains last Saturday.

Her ring consists of a knot with a sapphire and two diamonds that

came from her grandmother.

A farm wedding is scheduled for next June 20th.

What fun it will be, getting this place decorated!

Starting next Spring, I will keep you up to date with the plans and progress.

Oh, what fun we will have!

Do you think we can turn this...

into this...?

And which of our three do you think could handle this job?

Probably not Annie, as she breaks the land-speed record every chance she gets.

Definitely not Sammy, as he would have to stop at every guest along the aisle

and paw at them to pet him.

Looks like Oakley wins by default...thank goodness we have almost a year to practice!

And so, as the moist, cool weather continues,

I am forced to search for hay to buy...

it doesn't look like we will be feeding any of our own this winter!

PS...

Here is my next batch of jewelry, ready for sale.

If there are any amongst this batch that you would like...

email me...and tell me your wrist size.

I will send you a better picture if you like.

They are $35 each. 

(The owl and the horse are $25)

I also made this charm necklace/bracelet (it can be worn as either)

It comes with your choice of leather strap for $40, and each additional

spare strap for $7 (red, turquoise or brown).

Have a great weekend!!
