Fresh vegetables, quilting

 I finished sewing together this small quilt top. I like the red and gold sashing with the little 9 patch corner stones.   

I have plenty of this fabric for a backing. It's about time to use it for something...the date on the selvedge is 2012!

I harvested a couple of things from the garden...beets and some very tiny carrots.

The Sasquatch unearthed a nice big batch of potatoes that he grew in grow bags. He just started them with small potatoes he had bought, and left on top of his refrigerator until they had sprouted.

He gave me a few, so I just roasted everything in the oven. It's true...vegetables from the garden are so much better than store bought.

The beets were especially sweet and tasty. I'll plant a larger amount of them next spring.

Here is something else the Sasquatch tried this year...Husk Cherries. A plant with berry-like fruits that have a dry husk around them.

The taste is sweet and a melon/citrus sort of flavor. Hard to describe. They are good to eat plain but the Sasquatch has also preserved some in a jar with a sweet syrup, and he's going to try running a batch in the dehydrator.

Another amazingly beautiful sunrise! 

Changing every minute as the sun comes up.  

A few turkeys have been coming up in the yard.  One is a big male and a couple of times I've seen him doing his big majestic tail feather display. Always too far away to get a good photo though.

 

I'd like to know what you think about this. The house across the street from me is facing the neighborhood over there and so my house faces into his back yard.

I've noticed he likes planting and growing things and this year he's added this makeshift green house.  It's basically a little pre-built shed with a clear plastic roof and plastic sheeting  on the back side.

This is how it looks from my driveway (and from my front window).

It's sort of weird and unfinished looking...not a thing of beauty. Sort of annoying.

Next door...more burning....

I could sneak over there and roast a hotdog on a stick...or maybe some s'mores!
