Yesterday on my way to work I passed by a pile of stuff put out for trash collection. On top of an old chair was this machine. I turned the corner and drove around the block for a 2nd look and decided to stop and pick her up. There was a pressure foot, needle, bobbin… Continue reading Abandoned at the side of the road…

It’s Cherry Season Again!
We've had a bumper crop of cherries this year! If I'm sitting I'm pitting! We have a 4 in 1 cherry tree that self pollinates.

Supposedly they… Continue reading It’s Cherry Season Again!
Duck Mothers
We live near a pond and a creek and there is plenty of wildlife. This year we are fortunate to see the Mallard ducks raising their young!

Cherries! Oh Yum!
Hi Friends! We have cherries!!!! I can hardly believe it! We haven't yet had a crop of cherries. Sure, we've had the half dozen or so but our tree is so so young, combined with the last 2 years of terrible weather that affected the pollination that we have been hoping and praying this year… Continue reading Cherries!
