Hi, Lorell. Enjoy shopping....I did a LOT of quilt (machine) piecing and hand quilting in the 70's and 80's. Had a lot of sore fingers!! One of my favorites was a design I did on an all white sheet and quilted ....was beautiful when it was done. I wish I had taken photos. The quilts were for the Church of the Brethren relief auctions. I made one for myself but I have never finished it. I should do that at some point. ......don't know where my quilting frame is now.....maybe in the attic??? There are some amazing patterns out there now. Let us know what you decide to do.
I compared your color and your b&w, I like them both equally. I had thought the color one would bring out the plow more, but it is about the same. Love the Amish farmer turning the hay. Their work is harder than the modern machine farmers, but I bet they get a lot more satisfaction at the end of the day.....When I was a girl, we had one cow, and only a small hay field. My parents cut the hay with a long handled scythe and us kids turned it the next day with hand made wooden rakes. Then pitched (pitch forks) it onto a wagon and pitched it into the barn. Hot summer work.
Dave, nice shot of your hummer...nice and sharp! ...yours are different from ours. Ruby throated hummer. Let's see if I, too, can find a shot I took years ago.....what is amazing is that with a flick of a neck muscle, those red neck feathers appear black, no red at all....love to watch them. This one is a male. Female does not have the ruby neck.
