A Quiet Stroll

It is very quiet outside today.  After yesterday's rain, the farm equipment is all parked, so there is little to no traffic.  The wind completely died back today, and there is hardly a breeze to rustle the leaves.  There is just myself, the dog and the birds, and even we aren't making our usual ruckus.  Everyone is enjoying the peaceful quiet of the day. 
 
This web made by a funnel spider collected the rain drops beautifully.

I'm not sure what type of birds these are, but they are usually very chatty.  Not today.  You  wouldn't
even know they were there if you didn't look up.

Bear usually gets pretty excited when I go out for a walk, and runs laps around me. 
But today he just sauntered along not too far from me, the entire time.

All the pumpkins have been harvested and are awaiting a few days of sunshine so they
can ripen up.

Leaves are starting to turn, and fall to the ground. 

The hops are covered in their blooms.  It is unbelievable how much they grow every season.

      Thanks Ida. The hops look fantastic this time of year. I'm really looking forward to when they have completely froze, because I've learned their vines are excellent for twisting into wreaths and things.

    I was born and raised in the city, and I have always wondered what it would be like to live in the country. I bet your dog loves having all that space to run around and play in.

    On another note, putting pumpkins by the door outside to ripen is a neat trick! I actually thought they were decorations for the fall season. I hope it did not take them long to ripen.

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Grow Your Blog

Hi everyone!  I'm Andrea and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada.  I'm surrounded by farmland and we are in the dead of winter, so with the outdoors being so completely asleep, here I am in blogland, whittling down the coldest days of the year. I'm so excited to be a part of this! Vicki over at '2 Bags Full... ' is generously hosting this event, and I'm sure it's an understatement to say it has been no small amount of work on her part to make this event happen.  So first and foremost, a big thank-you goes out to Vicki for making this fun, (not so little) event possible. The reason I'm bothering to enter my blog in at all is because it is so much fun discovering other thought-provoking and creative blogs and to have others find my blog interesting as well.  I enjoy visiting the blogs I follow, especially the 'daily-life' blogs and gradually but surely building pen-pal type relationships around the world.  I like writing and hearing about all t
