I came upon this farm field today
FILLED with pumpkins ~ pumpkins
as far as the eye could see.
My question is, shouldn't they have
been harvested for Halloween?
Are they for pies?
If anyone knows, please let me know...

Get Lost!
I had to run an errand today to a town
about 30 minutes from my home.
That 30 minute trip took an hour
and a half each way because I love
to get lost...
I'll always pass by the interstate and
travel the deserted country road if I can.
No map, just a good sense of direction
and the sun to guide me.
The farmers are working in the fields.
I love the country churches, I wonder
how many people go to this little church
out in the middle of nowhere.
I love the barns ~ I want to roam around
in them to see how they were constructed
and to find what people use them for now.
I even love the crumbling, abandoned
structures. I want to know their stories,
could this have been a one room schoolhouse?
I stopped the car on a lonely road to
take this photo and thought, hmmm~
this place looks familiar. Then I realized
it is where my birthday friend Eric used to live!
(We were born on the same day ~ but he's older...)
Do you ever get lost in your neck of the woods?

I Won!
On a cold and snowy day we
visited the beautiful city of
Salzburg, Austria.
We were taking a river cruise on
the Viking Sky, traveling along the
Danube and visiting the Christmas
Markets from Budapest to Passau.
We strolled through the lovely city,
stopping for hot cocoa and pastries
to warm up.
Of course, we spent a lot of
time at the Christmas Markets.
And that is where I took this photo of
the beautiful glass ornaments.
This photo just won the Viking River
Cruises Holiday Card Photo Contest.
What fun!

walk down memory lane, the book
looks great!

And Then There's Festival!
A few days after International Quilt
Market is the International Quilt Festival.
Whereas Market is a trade only show,
Festival is open to the public. There is a
huge quilt show and a large area of vendors.
Here is a peek of the quilt show.
