What a Difference a Month Makes!

Last month, when Marie and I went on our barn photography excursion, there was hardly a leaf on a tree or vine...as seen in tonight's photo. Now all the trees are just about completely leafed out. What a difference a month makes! If we were to drive past this barn now, it would hardly be visible from the road as I'm sure that the trees and vines on the fence would be all leafed out. The reason that we like to go out looking for barns in early Spring and late Fall is that leaves, vines, etc. aren't hiding the barns so they are more visible from the road. Woody went on a four-mile walk this morning. Esther came over and cross stitched for her long time. She was my only student this morning as she and her family camped out last night and didn't get home till late morning. They were helping a family with a newly acquired RV learn the ropes of RV Camping. Hope that the other family learned quickly as they headed off on a road trip to New Mexico when they left the camp ground this morning. Nathan and Kathy and family are getting things gathered and ready for a BIG yard sale that is to take place tomorrow and Saturday at their house. So if you are in need of a treasure and live in the area you might want to stop by! Remember one man's trash is another man's treasure! And, this yard has lots from lots of families. This is a fund raiser for Nathan and Kathy and family's mission trip to Poland that they will take later in the year. The girls' softball game, that should be going on right now, was cancelled once again due to the field not being dry enough. This Spring is causing a lot of postponed/make-up games! We had a storm pass through in the night which probably didn't help the field dry out enough despite sunshine for a good part of the day. I have sewn a good portion of the day. My top is almost finished...just a few finishing touches left to do. Woody has worked some in the yard. He also made up a recipe of "his" veggie burger patties made from quinua and veggies and black beans,etc. We had leftovers for supper so I didn't have to cook today. I guess I will head back to do the last stitches on my top and then just sit in my chair and rest and perhaps read for a while this evening. Woody is downstairs with the TV, books, puzzles, etc. to occupy his evening.
