We're dorsum home, having spent concluding black inwards our bed at home. Our camper bed is comfortable, in addition to nosotros slept good spell nosotros were traveling. Still, it's prissy to sit down upwardly inwards bed, in addition to swing one's legs over the side to detect a regular floor. It's fifty-fifty nicer non to receive got to climb over things to larn to the bathroom. Nicer yet...a door to unopen on kitties who think playing inwards the middle of the black is a practiced idea.
The drive due west from John Day, Oregon, is a pretty one. There are lots of ranchers inwards that area, in addition to therefore, lots of barns. I'm certain I've taken pictures of unopen to of these before.
Things got a petty dicey when nosotros got into snowfall coming through the mountains. We checked the cameras coming over unopen to of the highest passes in addition to establish snowfall on both sides of the road. The roads, thankfully, were clear. Nevertheless, nosotros did transcend a snowfall turn coming inwards the contrary direction. He was merely headed inwards the management of possible problems, non plowing anything...yet.
It was foreign seeing the combination of autumn coloring in addition to wintertime snow. It's very, rattling early on for this kind of thing.
When nosotros arrived at the Three Cats Ranch, nosotros swung opened upwardly the door in addition to laid complimentary the cats. Surprisingly, they solely stayed out nearly twenty minutes earlier coming inside. We were yet on coyote spotter hither when nosotros left at the kickoff of the month. We were feeling fairly confident the coyotes had moved on when nosotros left, but we're yet existence extra cautious. With mutual depression temperature coming, they've likely moved to lower elevations. We didn't listen them concluding night, in addition to we've seen none inwards quite unopen to time, but we'll go extra careful earlier letting the kitties out.
The foremost affair I did was to accept all my stitchery projects downstairs to trim down in addition to press them. You mightiness recall, I had "Sweet Land of Liberty" inwards the plant when nosotros left. This volition go turned into a small-scale tabular array topper eventually.
Also, the seventh of 12 blocks for the Appalachian Memories quilt.
And, on our concluding morn of travel, I finished upwardly "Farm Fresh Eggs." This 1 volition go turned into a small-scale wall hanging eventually.
We're already talking nearly our side yesteryear side trip, which volition go to caput southward for the winter, starting inwards January. I'll go kitting upwardly unopen to of these smaller projects to accept along for sewing on the road. We'll go inwards our larger 5th wheel, in addition to I'll receive got my sewing machine along on that trip.
There's yet enough to create hither at domicile betwixt immediately in addition to then. After I had my stitcheries trimmed, pressed, in addition to set away, I checked the plum tree in addition to the greenhouse. The plums were all gone, every bit expected, but in that place were nearly four lbs. of tomatoes, in addition to to a greater extent than coming. These are Super Marzanos. I'll go making salsa from these.
And don't forget, I receive got 5 pounds of frozen plums I'll piece of job for barbecue sauce too.
So, there's enough to create earlier falling dorsum into our estrus of day-to-day existence. Today volition go devoted to unpacking the camper in addition to getting caught upwardly on laundry. I'll go doing unopen to to a greater extent than canning earlier the calendar week is out. But first, I remove a novel slow-stitching project.
Next inwards business is Dancing Chickens in addition to Flying Pigs, but I haven't made upwardly the applique component of the side yesteryear side block yet. That volition go my foremost sewing machine projection every bit I detect my agency dorsum into the sewing room. In the meantime, I'll piece of job on the "I Believe inwards Snowmen" blocks out of lodge this fourth dimension around. I remove to describe out the side yesteryear side 3 blocks this morn because, every bit everyone knows, in that place must go deadening stitching or things precisely don't become correct at all. After I've had my morn stitching session, I'll larn busy alongside the residuum of it.
