Really Random Thursday 10.20.16

 Not a lot of sewing going on since the pillowcases.  Actually, none.  Some buying and cutting, though!

 My sis lives down the block from a "modern" quilt store.  That is a dangerous thing when I'm out to visit her.  I picked up a few things to round out some future planned projects.

 I had saved my honey "rinse water" and today discovered that it was fizzy and somewhat fermented.  I'm not sure what to do with it now.....  Did I accidentally create a mild mead?

 No sewing yet, this week, but some cutting and planning.  Working on the next words for the Spelling Bee quilt.  All those squares have to be snowballed onto the corners.

 Our next Four-in-art challenge reveal day is quickly coming up - gulp.  A couple of back ground choices here.

 I pulled this sweater out for Mini to wear today.  It was made for E by my aunt.  It's made it through all 5 kids!

 Fall is here!  The leaves are falling.  Sweeping is needed pretty much daily, now.

 Got some books in the mail this week.  That may be contributing to the not sewing.  Hmmm.

 Lastly, this past Tuesday was Parent Night at school for Volleyball.  Yep, she's tall.  5' 9.5" as of yesterday.  She is also the youngest on the team!  Go Cougars!  (also, rare shot of Mr. Riley, from whom my kids obviously get their height)

A Friday in Fall

 Getting some (more) pumpkins this morning.  Don't judge me for going to the garden center instead of a cute pumpkin patch.  We've already done that trip.  These are just for decoration - and a good deal!

 The view down our road.

 At the end of the driveway.  Sorry about the square.  Didn't want to show off my address to the world.

 Some of the leaves this year are just dead and brown. 

 Spring/Summer meets Autumn.

*sigh* Still working on this.  Almost done quilting the center.  Then to decide what in the world to do with the borders. *sigh*

Yesterday peaked in the 70's.  So far I don't think we've reached 50 today.  The kids didn't understand why we needed coats to get pumpkins.   Many of the leaves have been coming down off the trees.  There is a noticeable difference in just the past couple of days.  I'm starting to think there won't be any leaves left by the time we make it up north this year.  Better for bird hunting, I suppose.

I think I'll go make a pot of tea and work on the above quilt.
