this is the story of our life at "Rosevale on the Palouse Prairie" in eastern Washington State, and my love affair with all things fiber/fabric. 'BeanQueen' you might ask, well in my previous life I was the curator of the Phaseolus Germplasm Collection (beans native to the western hemisphere) in the United States. My lovely #2 sister gifted me with my 'autre nom'.

Quilt Camp was great,
as usual. I did not take as many pictures this time, but I'll post some of the ones I DID take soon. Quite a bit was done on that old UFO pile, too. I got relaxed & refreshed and that is what I was looking most forward to, anyway. 'tP's vacation turned out to be no where near what he wished. His oldest brother passed away on the Tuesday of that week and he had left early on Monday to see if he could visit one last time. He made it in time, but the brother probably was unaware; never-the-less, it helped the DH with his grieving process, I think. This last year has been extra hard on him as he has lost 3 of his immediate family in such a short time. I'm hoping things level off and there's more peace around here for a bit. It is still way too wet to work in the garden - we NEED to get peas, potatoes, some coles and lettuce it - how we're ever going to do that is a big question at this time, though. I still have to get the berries and shrubs pruned, too. Not looking like a really good year right now.

No, it's not (looking like a really good gardening year right now). We could probably plant here in the valley but not at the homestead. Condolences to your family. Some years are like that as we wend our way through mid-life.
thank you Kathy
