Enjoying the last of the flowers...

Dinner Plate Dahlias
As always, please enjoy using my photography in your personal art work.
I am always happy to share the beauty...
September has also found me with a deadline:
Raffle Quilt
I need to jazz up this quilt top a bit, some applique' perhaps?
Something to grab your attention from across the room...
Make you want to look closer...
and buy a ticket to win this quilt.
I will take the camera along so you can watch the design process.
More to come...
September has found me in the kitchen...
When the apples begin to fall from the trees,
It is time to heat up the oven and bake a few pies.
Two apple pies hot from the oven...
We delivered one to our Gramma who turned 91 in September!
Our youngest son came home yesterday just in time to harvest blackberries along the river banks...
This morning there are blackberry pies cooling
What does September find in you?

What a wonderful afternoon in the backyard with family, friends and neighbors...
Brad and I are standing in the back with our niece.
We are all savoring the last of our sunny days here in
Western Oregon
It was a beautiful day to be outdoors cooking over the fire.
I need to get reacquainted with my sewing machine, I feel a bit rusty.
I have a few quilt show deadlines looming ahead in the next few months...
But for now, I am enjoying sunshine, good friends and yummy food.
I am also enjoying the last of the flowers blooming in the yard.
I miss them so over the winter months.
I do have plans to incorporate flower images into some textile art.
Take time to make the most of the sunshine!
Howdy from all of us in Oregon

Working Yearling Cattle...
The sun in finally shining here in Western Oregon
It is perfect weather to round up the yearling cattle
You can see in the photos below, they are being moved from the pasture across the river, over to our barn...

There is a ford in the river just below our house.
It is a good spot to cross the river with the cattle.
The first few calves are just crossing the river...
All the calves have made it across the river.
They are in the pasture just below our house.
Freckles, the horse on the far right, is happy to see the yearling cattle back in her pasture.
They were moved to a different pasture last month, and she missed them.
Brad and his dad are herding the cattle over to the barn...
Freckles, is in the center of the herd.
She considers herself The Cow Mama
The yearlings didn't want to go into the corral...
Freckles got out in front and lead them right in.
The Yearlings in the corral
Yes, that tall calf......isn't a calf...
It is The Cow Mama
Freckles was more than happy to be penned up with the calves.
The Squeeze Chute is set up and ready.
The guys are getting the supplies unloaded.
Freckles is quite happy locked up with the yearling cattle.
The first calf is approaching the chute...
The calves have new yellow fly tags in their ears.
This helps keep the flies off their face in the summer months.
They will also be wormed and vaccinated.
No more photos for awhile......I am giving the vaccinations today.
Brad is putting in the ear tags and worming.
Brad's dad, Delbert, is moving the calves up the alley into the chute.
All of the yearlings have new yellow earrings!
Brad & Delbert herd them through the pasture and down to the river.
Yearling Cattle crossing the Big Elk River
The calves are back on the other side of the river.
Brad is on his way back home.
We were so happy to see sunshine and blue skies today, we didn't even mind working cattle....it was great just to be out of doors!
I did manage to work out in the Thread Shed tonight for a few hours.
I will post a few photos later...
May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
