Hello,

Clay and I welcome you to our home.

I will post other pictures so you can see some of my

rooms.

Come on in....

The pond is nearly empty this time of the year, but a few birds & frogs still inhabit the low water. Spring run off from the snow will fill it again in time for the ducks returning.

Coming into the driveway.

Welcome to our Home " the Blue Sky Homestead"

Here is my badge! I finally finished it.

No plums

Neighbor gone said to pick the fruit...No plums... but more apples. I think johnathans , very crisp and tart sweet, round and red.. maybe winesaps.. whatever they are good!

Sunday

Went to church, and to lunch at a nice resturant with hubby. Exchanged a lamp from purchase yesterday as it was broken when we took it out of the box. (Boy was it a test to put the darn thing back into the original packaging).
Now have been working on posting pictures on here, I will figure it out eventually....
Baked 3 apple spice cakes in quart jars.. sealed fine.

Just saw 5 deer on the hill behind our home.. * I hope they hide as a hunter shot one yesterday. I know its hunting season... I just couldn't shoot one of these beautiful animals. They have been grazing all summer with a couple fawn.. " Run, Hide Bambi".
My husband does not hunt, thankfully & I do not like deer meat.
Headed out to pick some plums...yummy....

Here I am

I am new to this blogging .. I love the challenge to make my own.
It may take me some time and I will post some pictures eventually of my new farmlife, family and travels. I am taking a quilting class in November so I may have some other surprises top post. I love the country life and simplicity of getting back to the basics. I read, sew, craft, cook and spend time with friends & family.
It has been a dream come true to live here in Klamath Falls on our one little acre.
My husband & I are retired so we have Lots of time to do all the things we want to do here and are blessed to be able to travel when we want to do that. We visited Costa Rica in January this year before selling our home & buying our new one and moving from Arizona to Oregon in July.
I am known to my 6 grandchildren as gramma cheryl and my husband is papa clay.
