Happy Wednesday, the day we try to show our workspace. All info will be
HERE Posting Tuesday night, as I don't know where I'll be in the early morning.
Missed last week, just too much going on here at the farm. Hubby just finished up his bean fields, Had a set back " a field fire". Fortunately he had a fire extinguisher to save his equipment/ but with the wind he dialed 911 and volunteer firemen were here to put out the burning bean field. About 3 to 4 acres lost One guy borrowed the neighbors tractor and digger and made a black dirt track near fence and around the fire (to prevent the spread) or it would be in our yard or in the corn field.
Angels were helping. We were so thankful for the Volunteer EMS/Firefighters our little town provides. No photos, too quick to react
He found the issue with the start of the fire yesterday/the combine needed new bearings, when they went bad and with stocks moving thru it ignited.
My workspace is over stacked: I only have about a 6 inch free space to use

These were made for "the Collage Art Collective" group which I follow
I stopped at a thrift store, while running errands and found these "OLD" books. Just love them
You all have a great week, Rain is forecast with 30 degree temps so will have to cover flowers/tomatoes/squash and WELCOME the rain. Northern Iowa has a burn ban in effect, so very dry. And farmers need a break, it's the only thing that stops them. HAPPY FALL. Dark here at 7pm way to early for that change.

Boy your life has been so busy! When you farm there is always something to do. So sorry to hear about the fire and so happy it wasn't worse. We are pretty dry here no mowing for 3 weeks now but I will mow tomorrow because of the leaves falling. I no longer rake and the fence holds them inside so I mulch then. Great for the soil. Love all the activity on your desk...looks like so much going on! Have a great rest of the week!
What a terrible thing to happen. It sounds bad to lose so much but glad the fire fighters could help save what could have been a worse disaster. Hope the land recovers soon - will the coming rain help?
Love your little cards, and the collages, then of course, the `heidi book. I remember reading that as a young girl and I loved it. Little did `I dream then that I would visit that wonderful country in later life.
Hoping the weather is kind to you and things recover.
hugs, Neet 5 xx
Sorry to hear about the fire, I know how awful it can be living in the country I've seen what can happen. A corn field not far from where my mum lives went up and it then spread to the other field across the road when it was put out all you could see was blackness. It was believed that it was likely that someone had thrown a cigarette or match out of a car window, fools! I hope you get some rain soon, it has piured it down here today. Take care and wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x12x
It's been anaother busy day for me ad I'm only just finding time to visit the desks.....better late then never eh?

Oh my goodness the fire sounds horrid and scary, glad it got sorted. Yup your desks are overflowing but the rolodex cards are super and the books are great too. I dug my old books out as needed pages for the conference I'm doing next week, it's lovely what they contain isn't it. BJ#6

Gosh that sounds so awful, it is sure hard being a farmer. Lovely work on your desk this week - I often end up with a six inch square to work in as well!! You must be wishing for the change of seasons but I agree losing the daylight early is a real bummer!! Have a good week, love n hugs Cindy xx #8
Love those rolodex cards Sylvia. Thank goodness for volunteer fire fighters and neighbours. Glad a bigger disaster was averted. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
Hi Sylvia. Oh my - that must have been worrying and frightening. So glad your community has those volunteer fire fighters who were able to come to your aid. The damage sounds back, but not as bad as it could have been!! You were indeed being cared for! Trust you have really good rain soon.
Take care. God bless.

Life on a farm is never dull. Glad the fire was extinguished quickly and the culprit bearings found.
Great projects!
We've gotten more rain here in southern AZ recently than most of our monsoon, it seems.
Have a great week!

Oh Sylvia, a field fire must be very scary, especially as the sizes of your fields mean distance for EMS. Really happy they were so quickly able to create a break, my word. Now rain, a good thing really, just to ensure it’s all cold and as you say, a break for the farmer! Meanwhile, I LOVE the sight of your desk, I know it’s probably driving you nuts when you have time to approach it, but oh all those gorgeous things to be used! The pages look lovely. And I really like the books, I never see stuff like that when I look in thrift shops…I must go more regularly!
oh gosh so sorry to hear about the field fire, there have been so many more this year hasnt there, not great. Life sounds very busy so I am seriously impressed you have gotten some crafting done still. As to those books, nice, especially the herb one, looks really interesting.
Thanks for visiting my desk already
