My hellebore have been trying to bloom since before the sleet/snow we had recently. And now that the ice and snow are all gone, they are blooming merrily. The daffodils are not far behind. Everything is waking up and poking their little heads out of the ground.

Yesterday's high was 80! What a change! Last week we had ice and couldn't even get out to the highway, today we have to fun a fan! Amazing.
I went to our friend Doris' on Monday night to help start the Hardy Homesteader's Quilt for this year. We're doing a nice queen size quilt, the motif is Candy Corn. I spent the evening ironing the fabric before we started cutting the pieces. I think we'll get it all cut next week and can start to sew after that.
This quilt should go together rather quickly. The blocks are 12 inches square. Background is a nice autumn leaf fabric with greenish blocks at the intersections. I'll post pictures once we've got something together to show you. Here's a link for the basic block. Basic Candy Corn quilt block.
We've lived here 8 years now! Time is flying by. One of the items we love to eat, but have a bit of a challenge finding is bulk dried fruit. I love snacking on raisins, figs, dates... and John loves pineapple. Josh loves apricots. We have to drive about an hour to find bulk goods. The little Memmonite store in Dalton is great.... West Plains has Meadowbrook...Meadowbrook Natural Foods. There's a store in Jonesboro also, but we don't get to Jonesboro very often.
So, several families we know have decided to go together and make bulk orders from Country Life Natural Foods. Country Life Natural Foods We get our first order today. It's being delivered to my friend Gena's house, because we don't have a garage or anything that would be a good place to sort out a large bulk order. If you live in our area and want to be part of our "Co-op", please let me know.
