Nauvoo on The Road. We went and played for a day at a pumpkin festival, well we went and helped with the booth anyway. Elder Spradlin was doing the rope making, I worked with different games, spinning, weaving and my dulcimer.
Yes he won even one handed!
I have been playing in the gardens before I go on sites. Right now it is time to take out the summer plants and get ready for planting for next Spring.
I finished the quilt for O!! I call it caddywampus. Kind of a fun crazy quilt for a baby!
Played around a lot with the Spinning Wheel.
Then made crazy messes in the kitchen dying the yarn.
Our friends the Bradshaws came and visited to surprise Harold for his birthday and that was super fun. Hopefully they send us a picture, because the one we have has our eyes closed. Morning and Evening walks have us seeing Deer and raccoon. I also collected chestnuts from the chestnut tree and have them stored so they can sweeten. Picked Persimmons and learned that when they are really ripe they are yummy, when they are not, they make your mouth feel horrible!
Our shifts are changing with the seasons, so sometimes we are in the sites from 10-5, when there are not a lot of visitors then we spend time doing a variety of projects, for me that means spinning, weaving, quilting, and of course my dulcimer!
We are now playing George and Agatha in the Rendezvous performances, so hopefully by next week I can have a few good shots of that.
Getting ready for the Halloween festivities.
Sundays we serve in the Mt. Pleasant Branch, it is about an hour away and is a Spanish/English branch. That makes it a happy day for both of us!
