WIP; Throw quilt for my godson who told me his favorite color was red, black, pink, green and turquoise.

Rooville by Benartex
Two piles of colorful quilt blocks stacked up for trimming. One block with a pink outline around a multicolor square is on the cutting mat, ready to go.

If I had grandchildren, they'd be proud of me.

We had a great rally today in Hamilton, MT, right in the heart of MAGA country!

Had to DIY mine, but it's still good!
Cinnamon rolls and chili, of course

Kinda Southwest-ish...about an hour South of Missoula.
A gray, snowy day where the grass, pine tree and lamp post are dusted generously with the white stuff.

Celebrating the first snow of the season!
Chili and cinnamon rolls! A Nebraska delicacy...even though I live in Montana now.

Today turned out alright!

If you have a few bucks to spare, 1 Horse at a Time draft horse rescue in Corvallis, Montana is a worthy cause.

Four reddish draft horses grazing on green grass with a bright blue sky above them. A solo red horse with white mane and tail resting in green grass. Behind it are fall-colored trees and low mountains. Me in a selfie, wearing big sunglasses and a pink stocking cap, with a red horse with a white streak down its face.

Lookin' good, Montana.
Mountains and bright blue sky in the background of a sagebrush pasture, a run down wooden fence, and the tail end of a Vizsla bird dog.

I'm ready to run through a wall, and it's only 8:30.

Five hours to kickoff. #GBR!

So pretty out today!
Fall vibes with a two-lane dirt road, a rickety wooden fence, a yellow-green tree leaning over both, and a big sky of blue. Bright yellow blooms on sagebrush surrounded by dormant wild grass. Amazing blue sky in the background.

Our bathroom has better views than yours.

In the middle of it all, beauty remains.
Dark mountain silhouettes with amazing dark and light cloud puffs and heavenly light beans shining down.

Vizslas descend from Hungarian royalty.
Obviously.
A super goofy upsidedown red shorthair hunting dog...looking anything but royal.

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.
A man in a navy suit jacket and white cowboy hat riding atop a brown and white longhorn steer in a parade...not a horse, a cow.

With the National Guard being such a hot topic, it's interesting that I just spent a day honoring three outstanding Air National Guard service members, one who retired after 23 years.

I made these two Quilts of Valor and also awarded a third created by the Western Montana QoV group.

#QuiltSky #QoV
A large quilt with dark blue sky at the top and blue and white sawtooth stars above red and white striped mountains on the bottom half. A large quilt with a larger dark blue outer border and a narrower red inner border encasing scrappy red, white and blue diagonal stripes. My Vizsla dog is stretching in the lower right corner.

I've had a rough day, but it's beautiful out there, anyway.
Looking over an irrigation ditch full of water up to a green pasture and a tall ridge with pine trees. Above it all, some amazing blue sky and poofy clouds.

Delightful image selection, @npr.org. Great job! 👏🏻

I love the smell of cattle in the morning
Some black Angus mama cows and their calves coming to check out the alfalfa. Take a good look at that horizon. I'm not in Montana anymore!

I shall call it
Margarita and Mountains
A stainless steel insulated Yeti cup with a homemade margarita sitting on a scabby brown picnic table that needs to be refinished. In the background, we see green lawn, flowering Saskatoon bushes, a bunch of pastureland and the snowcapped Bitterroot mountains.

I was nervous to go out today. But I took it one step at a time.

First, a hurried, crappy sign. Then, pants. Then, a side trip to buy dog food as my reason to drive to town.

Joining the rally was VERY worth it! It helped.

We can do these things, even as introverts in MAGA hot-spots!

Hope springs forth.

Savor the good things as much as you can.
Two yellow daffodils blooming amid all the dead weeds I cut down last fall and never cleaned up. I love flowers. I'm not crazy about gardening.
