Boo-ti-ful Nauvoo

 On my early morning walk I discovered this very strange mushroom growing on the side of a tree.

Here is a sample of my quilt that I'm working on, done with applique.  Lots of hand work but it gives me something to do on the down time.  


I love the fall time of year with all it's beauty.



Bob and Bev Thurgood stopped by Nauvoo.  We along with E/S/Thurgood did a session at the temple together.  After we went to lunch and had a great visit.  

Later we hitched up a team to the surrey and went for a ride around Nauvoo.  The weather was a little rainy but it was still fun to do.  Bob so enjoyed the horses, barn and stories.

This week was busy with many activities preparing for the Boo-ti-ful Nauvoo celebration.

Dreaming of spring days coming...

It is the slow season.  Feb. 26, the wind blew, so working on the wagon was brisk.  I am bundled up with two coats, hat, scarf and more. ...
