Winter has Arrived!

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Here in Wisconsin we have been enjoying very

unseasonably warm temps in the 60° ~ 70°'s,

 BUT...all good things must come to an end!

Today, was an extremely blustery day with very

strong winds and much colder temps...winter

has finally arrived in our neighborhood!

❆~❄~❄

Perfect weather for stitching,

and that's just what I've been doing!

Sharing with you today is a wee 

sneak peek of Schoolgirl's Samplar Club's 

final kit for the year...

Hope to have it all finished and framed

by early next week!

On a recent weekend family venture

we discovered some great old

landmarks of the past...

Vines are completely entwined around

this old piece of farm equipment!

Cows enjoying a Sunday day of rest!

Neat old barn nestled into a hillside!

The highlight of the drive was this

quaint old cemetery filled with ancient 

grave markers...

I love the peacefulness of 

"Mourning Sheep" 

Perfectly worn in time from the 

elements!

Many were just leaning up against the trees,

this one has a weeping willow on it, 

symbolic for mourning! 

All the headstones in this cemetery

were dated from the 18th and 19th century!

Souls that have walked this earth 

before us!

This one really touched my heart,

broken into several pieces, but stacked in a pile!

Mourning sheep are the symbolism for a 

young children's graves.

Gone, but never forgotten in God's eyes!

With Thanksgiving Day just

around the corner...

 Turkey's everywhere are

seeking therapy!

Doctor's remedy...EAT HAM!

Weekend Soul Food...

If I have wounded any soul today

If I have caused one's foot to go astray

If I have walked in my own willful way

Dear Lord, forgive

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee

Forgive my secret sins I do not see

Oh guide, watch over me and my keeper be

Dear Lord, Amen

~ An Evening Prayer ~

Enjoy a nice relaxing weekend...stay warm!
