Oh I'm so glad this summer is on the way out the door. It has been the hottest one that I can ever remember, and I've pretty much been miserable with the heat. I know we still have some hot weather to go, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel! :D
I've spent the day watching Appalachian State beat Michigan---what an upset!!--and Va Tech win their opening game :) All the while doing needleturn applique. I have several hand projects going right now so I just sew on one a while, then go to the next for a while. :) I'm stuck on my little pumpkin motif for finishing the outer border on the punkin quilt. I'm going to at least finish the quilting on that tomorrow and get the binding ready for it.
Flea Market is going on in Hillsville, VA, this weekend. It's a humongous affair. I have a sister that lives there, and it used to be an annual family affair for all of us to gather at Nita's house. It still is, but the faces have changed, I think. ;/ Now I think the gathering mainly consists of my neices and nephews, along with a bunch of greats thrown in there too, rather than Nita's siblings. :) I hope they are having a fun time...the weather really cooperated this year. I can remember years that it rained from opening day (Thurs) to the last day (Mon), and was one huge mudhole. I miss gathering with my siblings. Maybe I should have gone this year but I didn't. Maybe next year?
My tree swallows have been gone all summer, but I'm hoping that they will be back for the Fall and Winter. I miss them. They are such graceful birds with a really sweet song.
The cherry tomatoe plant is a volunteer and I hope you can get an idea of just how big it is from the picture. It is huge!!! And FULL of tomatoes! :D I haven't posted a picture of the 'boys' in a while. This was one of our last trips on the boat before pulling it out for the Winter. Badger is on the left and Dewey is on the right. It's rather dark, but as usual, you can click the picture for a larger view.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

I cant even get tomatoes to grow for me!
Hope you get some cooler weather.

Mmmmm - those tomatoes look yummy. Cherries won't grow for me.
I'm right with you on the end of summer. YIPPEE!!! Bring on the cold snap - I'll cuddle right under a quilt *s*
I wish I could send some of our cooler temps down your way - after the Holiday weekend, of course.
Your boys sure are handsome fellas and they like boating, too.
I am looking forward to Autumn weather too. You little guys are too cute!!
I heard all about the game from my son when he came in my studio and said the greatest upset in college football just happened. Now it is the headline all over.
Badger and Dewey are sure comfortable with their sea paws, they are so cute!
oh I'm with you on the ready for cooler weather! We have broken a record this yr for most days above 110! ICK! How do you get your boys to POSE? When I turn my camera..my two legged AND 4 legged boys get up and run away! ...Nothing in AZ volunteers for ANYTHING in the summer...:::sigh:::::
Yummy looking volunteer tomatoes - perfect in the Volunteer State LOL (sorry couldn't resist) I can't grow anything - Sigh!
The boys are quite handsome! I'm in love. :-)
Cute little boys!
Love pictures of the pups!!!
Hi Angie, I have been reading your blog for sometime but don't think I have commented on your blog before. I couldn't resist this time. I was surprised and tickled when you mentioned Hillsville. My DH and I sold at that venue for about 12 years. First at the car lot on the corner at the top of the hill. Quessenberry's then for several years in the VFW lot.
I don't miss being there, cause I think it rained on me everytime we set up! Not Fun.
We live in N.C. and it has been miserably HOT here too. Maybe fall is on the way, Sure hope so. Even though I don't like cold weather much. Jewell
Your doxies are adorable. As a Dobermom I love their markings! Thanks for visiting my blog. Glad to find another dog-lover. Stephanie
I'm ready for cooler temps, too! B&D look so relaxed, boating becomes them! Hannes is jealous...
Your boys are the cutest kids! Thanks for the photo!
