The lone buck in the area settles in for a warm morning in the sun.

Sisters 33rd Annual Outdoor Quilt Show

Click Picture to enlarge and see detail

1,200+ quilts is an overwhelming number of pieces of art to try to see in one day, let alone do it in the few hours we spent there this morning. With more than 20,000 people roaming the town and tour buses trying to jam in more, vendors and quilt artists were pleased.

We rode our bikes into town early while it was still cool. The Girl Scouts are manning water stations throughout town and J&B are manning the one at Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store. We boys chickened out and escaped the madness to the comfort and quiet of home. See some of the beautiful quilts in the link to our Newest Albums at the right ==>

The 4th

Our 4th of July was a little more tame than last year at Mary's...in fact we didn't go see fireworks anywhere. Instead, we were invited to a community party at Cyrus Pond and had a great afternoon sharing the sun and cool waters of the mountain stream-fed pond with some of the kids schoolmates.
