We had a fun day in the studio with Priscilla, Barb, and Genie.<br />
<br />
<br />
Genie got some advice from Priscilla on a jacket she's making, and Priscilla showed us some pieces she's been making with lots of stitching and embellishments.<br />

We thought we had picked all the veggies from the garden before this. And usually by October we've had a frost, and the growing season is over.<br />
<br />
This season, though, things are still growing, and we're still finding lots of nice produce to harvest.

I didn't have the opportunity to attend, and was very pleased to find a ribbon on my quilt when it was returned to me.<br />

The turtle lifts itself from a submerged unsatisfactory winter spot and heads across the lawns and pasture to a large multi-acre body of water on the west side of our property.<br />

Millie (our feral cat) had an open wound on her back that needed help from the vet. It was quite a job getting her into the kitty carrier, but the vet sedated her for treatment and Millie was still sleeping five hours later.<br />
<br />
The vet said Millie had to stay in the house for at least five days, and since she's always stayed outside, we wondered how that was going to work!<br />
<br />

We shouldn't have worried.... Just like a "real" cat, she pretty quickly made herself at home.<br />

We haven't been growing our own sweet corn the last few years, and have found wonderful corn at Morrisey Farms, just a short distance from our house.<br />
<br />
It was so good this year, that we decided to put some in our freezer for the winter and bought a boxfull.<br />

We were happy to have Priscilla here for a visit, but probably the happiest was Suki. <br />
<br />
Priscilla is one of Suki's most favorite people, and Suki spends as much time with her as she can.<br />

We went for dinner at Benucci's in Pittsford Plaza, and it was very good. (We recommend the salmon!)<br />

The flowers on both sides of the driveway in front of the restaurant were lovely.<br />

Millie likes to go to the garden with me but choses to rest in the shade instead of helping.<br />
<br />

With the extreme dry conditions, we've been watering the vegetable garden regularly, and the tomato plants have been producing a bumper crop.<br />
<br />
<br />

Most of our driveway and parking area in front of the house was original blacktop put down in the distant past.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

We had patched and sealed it many times over the years. The parking apron was added in the early 80's.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, the culvert at the road which carries water under the surface had collapsed and needed to be replaced.<br />
<br />
We bit the bullet and dug up the old and replaced the material from the base to a new surface, along with replacing the drain pipe at the road.<br />

Our combined group of members of the Art Quilt People (Peeps) and the Quilt Divas gathered for a play day. Thanks to Bev for hosting and letting us take over her barn and lawn.<br />
<br />
There was fabric painting, stamping, monoprinting, etc, along with a lot of discharging.<br />
<br />
It's always fun to get ideas from watching what others are trying and to swap tools.<br />

<br />
Canning and freezing season has started!<br />
<br />
The peach crop was hurt by frost in the early spring, so good peaches are hard to get this season. But we were lucky to get some beautiful Red Haven peaches from our regular source, and they're yummy!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Our pepper plants are starting to produce, and these are our first stuffed peppers for the freezer. <br />
They are especially appreciated when you don't feel like cooking and all you have to do is thaw them.<br />

The hot and dry conditions have been hard on the gardens, and we've postponed efforts to keep things weeded.<br />
<br />
<br />

Here are a few things that are blooming:<br />

The German statice is ready to be picked for drying.<br />

The yarrow is also great for drying.<br />

MIllie likes to be in the garden as long as she can find a shady spot under the basil plants.<br />

The deck flowers have been watered regularly and are doing well.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Although my quilts have been in several AQS exhibits, I've never attended one of their shows. <br />
<br />
That was rectified with a trip to Syracuse with Jeanne, where we met up with two online friends from Canada.<br />
<br />
From the left: Helen Garland, Doris Lovadina-Lee, me, Jeanne Simpson.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My "Blueberry Green Teas" quilt is on the left, and the quilt on the right is "Carnival" by Robbi Joy Eklow.<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1VbotUFmf3A/WD-wCu7Gj9I/AAAAAAAAVHU/iK-FX4L5Z68E77_durlfj_iuJ3nyK9XPwCLcB/s1600/IMG_6210-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1VbotUFmf3A/WD-wCu7Gj9I/AAAAAAAAVHU/iK-FX4L5Z68E77_durlfj_iuJ3nyK9XPwCLcB/s320/IMG_6210-001.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Helen also had a quilt in the exhibit -- "Sign of Spring: PrimRose."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Of course, we spent a little time going through all the vendors, and I was very excited to find this John Deere fabric since it's not being produced any longer. The vendor only had a few yards left on one bolt, and I grabbed them with visions of a quilt for a certain tractor-obsessed young nephew.<br />

Quilting by the Lake is hosted by the Schweinfurth Art Center and held on the campus of Onondaga Community College in Syracuse. Each summer they offer classes during the last two weeks of July, drawing participants from around the country and overseas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This year Priscilla, Anne, and I went to QBL together and shared a suite in the dorms.<br />
<br />
<br />
We took Carol Soderlund's class, "In The Thick Of It: Working With Thickened Dyes." <br />
<br />
<br />
Carol had us create our own palette of colors in thickened dyes to use for the week. We created lots of tools for mark making and printing.</a><br />

Carol decorated this tote bag for the Friday night instructor's auction, a fund-raiser for the QBL scholarship fund.

My sore back led me to seek out some physical therapy with Farley at the Thompson Health facility in Farmington. <br />
<br />
I don't know which patients get to use this "horse" but it looks like more fun than doing regular exercises! It seems appropriate that this facility would have a horse with their close proximity to the Finger Lakes Race Track. <br />

The outside of the facility has great landscaping.<br />

My high school classmates manage to get together pretty regularly.<br />
<br />
Several of these gals meet for breakfast most Friday mornings, and this gathering included some of our out-of-state alums.<br />
<br />

Once a year we gather at a local winery for our "reunion" and pose on the steps for our yearly photo.<br />

The strawberries have been very tasty this year, and it's been a challenge to not eat them all. We managed to save out enough for a couple of batches of jelly to enjoy through the winter.Marciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01337182463896690529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614495530589728968.post-18756945170246104892016-07-08T15:20:00.000-07:002016-12-01T19:37:33.791-08:00Flowers around the house<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A few pictures of our flowers in June:<br />
<br />
The first one is a lilly from our water garden that is out by the perennial gardens.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The rest of the photos are from around our deck.<br />
<br />
In the last photo you can see that Millie is in one of her favorite spots, enjoying the shade and the flowers.<br />

The first spinach seeds I planted didn't do very well, so I bought more seeds and tried again. <br />
<br />
It's been dry, so I started watering the garden, and couldn't believe how big the spinach grew. That's a full-sized dinner plate that's holding the three leaves!<br />
<br />

A few of the trees have died, and a couple more are starting to get brown. We'll have to see how they do through the summer and hope to replant in the fall.<br />

No visit to our camp on Chase Lake in the Adirondacks is complete without the following activities:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A Road Trip -- that crosses this lovely stream. I don't know its name, but my parents called it "singing waters" and we used to eat picnic lunches there.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ice Cream Eating -- sometimes daily trips to Good Ol' Wishy's in Croghan are required so that various flavors of ice cream can be sampled.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sewing -- this trip included some jacket making, along with some Show & Tell.<br />
<br />
Priscilla showed us a piece of Hardanger Crosswoven Embroidery.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And Genie showed us a quilt she's making, that is really set off with black and white in the sashing.<br />

Our niece Jennifer stopped for a lovely, but too short, visit from Virginia while she was back in our area to see her parents.<br />
<br />
Her son, Dylan, will be starting kindergarten in the fall, but is already reading John Deere catalogs -- his favorite thing.<br />
