An Apple A Day!

Actually, I eat two apples every day! I love Honey Crisps, Jazz and Cameo in that order! But the other day I was over at Jane's and saw that she had just gotten some Timeless Treasures Apple fabric! I immediately saw it as valances for the Squash House kitchen! The colors blend wonderfully with our new tile backsplash. I ordered 4 yards of it from her eBay shop! I know I won't need that much, but I can use leftovers for napkins or whatever! And Jane, being the wonderful person she is, included some fat quarters for me that she said would blend for a nice table runner! They certainly do, and that's just what I'm going to make with them! Thank you so much, Jane!! I tell you, this move won't come too soon! There are so many projects I want to start (and you won't say anything about the ones I still have to finish, will you?)!!

Last week while at the Squash House, the squirrel activity was at its peak. The little cuties are running all over trying to stock up for winter. This one was in the backyard - he had an entire sunflower seed head! He was so intent on stuffing his cheeks, I got nearly right next to him before he ran off with the whole head in his mouth!
Here he is on the fence out back. He was hopping from rail to rail with the seed head in his mouth, nearly losing his balance several times! Here he's stopped to nibble some more. Notice how he's balancing himself with his tail against the telephone pole!
We're slowly overcoming hurdles with the selling process on our house. We're both feeling a bit less stressed than we were a few days ago! Not long now and the packing can begin in earnest!
