Journey of Quilting

weekend rememberance...

A very welcome 62* this morning (rainy, but warm)... the rooster is out with the ladies already, as well as his new chicks to watch over (quite the handful Sir Charles has now...) when I arrived home from my little vacation, I called out to Gilberta and looked for the kitties, and whistled to Sir Charles... I truly missed the farm... I am at peace here... so comfortable... it's my nest... however... the nest I stayed at is a close second (as is my own mother's "lake" home)... My mother-in-law (let's just go with the "minlaw" abbreviation from now on eh?)... My "minlaw" names each room, as a B&B would, and I was privileged to stay in my husband's old room... the "man room"...

and found in my suitcase were love letters from the children, and this drawing from my daughter... (framing that one — it's one of my favorite Saints)

did I cry you ask? yup — sure did — especially when my son tells me how much he misses me and that I'm the best mother in the world, and how he'll miss the fun on the farm with me (he's 12 and my little man)

My favorite room, which one of the other ladies stayed in, is called "The Flower Room"...

~lovely lovely~ even the views are spectacular of my "minlaw" prairie... and an exquisite tree...

that same tree from the window is truly glorious!

as is the comfort that surrounds her home, and the fantastic vignettes she creates within her nest...

thank you "minlaw" for such a lovely weekend...

p.s. "minlaw"... I'm sure you are glad I didn't post those other pictures aren't you??
