Fig Pickin'

A fellow homeschooler calls out, "The figs are ripe!"

Eager child reaches for a new experience,

and grabs a handful to share.

"Come explore beneath the fruitful boughs . . .

. . . and remember this forever."

We went to a friend's house today to pick some figs, in between rain storms,

shopping, taking Lady to the Cobb's, grocery store, and getting ready for the homeschool expo tomorrow. I like figs and the kids tried them for maybe the first time. We gathered some in a bucket to bring home to eat later, away from the mosquitos!

It's my birthday, sew what?

From this

to this

Since I started showing an interest in sewing,
my husband felt I needed something
to make it easier.
He researched and got a new Bernette 66
for my birthday!
It has a pop in bobbin,
and a one-step button hole maker,
in addition to many other stitches.
I went to a sewing class last night to make
sure I knew all about my new machine.
I have been using it and loving it.
