The time Changed

November is upon us and the time change draws the line for the change in the season 

I didn't think October would be so busy but it seems that there was a ton of little things that needed to be done to get ready for the cold stormy winter before us.

One weekend Daughter #4 left her four kids while they attended a funeral. The twin boys age 14 mowed the pasture for us, yea one less thing for me to do, and the girls 12 and 10 did a little sewing with me trying to supervise both activities.  The 12 year old made a dress for her stuffed rabbit, she did all of it except the collar and I helped her with that,  and the 10 year old got one cut out, her attention span isn't quite as long.

Another weekend Daughter #2 brought a load of apples and we did 90-1/2 gallons of apple juice. I was so tired but it was good to get it done and it sure beats store bought apple juice by a mile.

 

Another weekend my husband and I moved the wood pile from the pasture to under the barn so that it would be out of the weather and we would have dry wood for the winter. We just used the loader and dumped it in there and planned on stacking it later. One of the son in laws stacked it for us, yea one more thing I don't have to do.

 

I am so excited, I got the coolest iron, I told my husband it was a present from him for our anniversary coming up.  😉 (Hey, he is good with that, saves him from having to think of something. So I did him a favor😁) It is a cordless Panasonic 360 and it is teal of course(they have other colors blue, red, champagne, rose gold). Barb of Bejeweled quilts and I have been on a teal kick for our sewing room accessories. My old iron was a Rowenta and I loved it but you can see from the picture that it is well used. I took a picture of the side of the box so you could see all the features. I was able to purchase it through one of my wholesalers and can order one for anyone that is interested, they are on sale.
