Welcome, well I guess, I'm better late than never. Totally forgot it was already Wednesday.
I just finished up putting 2 cars back together. On Monday I took EVERYTHING out of these vehicles and wiped them down inside and vacuumed them. I had 3 large boxes to sort. It is totally unbelievable what has made the car their home. Then Tuesday my DH took mine to have it's oil changed at 7 AM and I never got it back until 9 PM that night. After a few phone calls it made no difference I wasn't going anywhere but would have liked to have finished the job. SO very early today I had sorted things out, disposed of most and replaced minimal items back inside. We are now equipped for WINTER driving and trips here there and hopefully everywhere.
And HOORAY !! he is on the last field of corn crops. Has been exceptionally dry and beautiful harvest weather. He will clean up equipment, store away for winter and then start with ripping/disking stocks and preparing harvested fields for winter. Will be lots of black ground.
Have not spent any time at a crafty desk. This was 2 piece set 25cent curtain toppers I picked up at a thrift shop. I cut off the lace from the bottom
We have visitors from Wisconsin coming for a couple of days, so I must do a once over of the house and prepare a pumpkin desert, maybe make some soups or a crockpot meal

Hi Sylvia. My word - I am quite breathless at all you have achieved! Well done you. So much to do to prepare for a long hard winter. Great shopping trip to get that lovely lace and extra material for some sewing projects. The geranium and the kohlrabi look good.
Take care. God bless.

When you live on a farm you have to get things done before the weather turns bad! Looks like you guys have all your ducks in a row. Leaves are just beginning to turn here so there will be leaves on the ground soon! I'm almost ready for the cold temps; I will need to unhook hoses so the pipes won't burst but I still have some time yet before that has to happen. All plants have been taken up and moved around and slowly but surely I'm making ready for winter.
What a lovely post Sylvia. Despite the ‘on the go’ repairs he’s had to make, the weather has really helped the harvest and there must be days when the land feels as big as the sky and its a pleasure to be out there. I know the work doesn’t stop (!!) but its great that its all done and dusted for this year and no freak weather has made it difficult. I think you hold the record for the longest oil change ever. Perhaps he was letting out one drip at a time! That lovely lace reminds me of a tablecloth that my Mum had, and I love the idea of a slow stitch project..perfect for winter!
Sounds like you are being kept busy preparing for winter - I guess there will be plenty of crafting time soon! I always find having guests spurs me on to do the housework - there seems little point the rest of the time! Happy WOYWW, stay well, stay safe, Cindy #13xx
Hi Sylvia not surprised you've not been at your desk as it looks as though you've been really busy with other stuff. Hope you have fun with your visitors. Wishing you a lovely week and a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x16x
So glad the weather was kind while the harvesting was done Sylvia. Well done getting those cars sorted. I could do with clearing mine out as well. Great find with that lace fabric. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4

Happy WOYWW! Susan #7
Gosh you have been busy - it must be very satisfying coming to the end of a successful season and knowing it's all harvested. What a find - that lace is beautiful!
Hope you have good week

Hi Sylvia, it is most annoying when a job takes far longer than it should, for no real reason. Garages can seem to take forever. Love the geranium, and hope you have a good time with your visitors. Stay safe, Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5. X

Boy, have you been busy getting things winterized! We used to raise various kinds of hay in WY for cattle and the race track.
Beautiful geranium! And that looks like a huge kohlrabi! Beautiful lace!
Take time to breath and enjoy your visitors!

My goodness Sylvia, you have been busy! Farm work has to come first, doesn't it. That lace is absolutely gorgeous - a great find. I wish I could get to the charity shops more often because you never know what you might find! Sorry for the late visit but I've been very busy working on the needle books in order to get them finished in time for the deadline.
Happy belated WOYWW,
