I drove my friend Lenore to Springville to enter her lovely quilts in to the quilt show. This is her first quilting competition. She did lovely work. One quilt was about Pilgrim's Progress and had hand embroidered faces of the characters, based on drawings in a vintage book. The other was a farm quilt using crayon dyed fabric, honey bees, and wonderful quilting!
I came home and took my husband to Taipan to see the ladder shelves.
We finished 53 pints of chicken before today! Today I canned another 15 pints! No more until next week.
Then my husband an I went to a wedding reception held in the back yard of a lovely home in Alpine. The couple are raw foodies and had made their own delightful vegan treats. The reception was lovely as was the setting. The home owners had landscaped and oasis in the back yard. There were trees, mulched with fine bark and lovely herbs growing as flowers along the border. Then there were raised beds along the south end of the yard, cascading in tiers down the hillside back year. Dividing the yard from the garden was a long berm covered with fine wood bark and with giant squash plants every few feet. At the base of the raised bed tiered garden we found two working bee hives, they appeared to be made of redwood or cedar, with a copper roof. This all made such a wonderful setting for an afternoon outdoor reception!
