Starry Log Cabin from the *Pile*

 My Quilt of Valor Group did a Log Cabin Block drive this last year . This year the National QOV block is a log cabin.... I keep telling myself - I am psychic  or maybe I am just a trend setter and I don't know it??

Next trend - Flannel Jammies under the chore pants - its a REAL thing people!!

This is the one I am currently working on . and Yes, these blocks were in my Piles!!!


I have it all Stacked to start rowing it now... Below - that was me trying to figure out how I wanted the star to go, and then looking at it, and then looking again, and then wondering if I was close to right!


This last weekend we had a Polar Vortex come visit ( much like the rest of the country). We have horses, and mostly they stay outside - but when the winds blow so hard we put them in the barn. The barn is mostly a riding arena, so we have to put temporary corrals up . Which we did - 6 of them...

I rarely -and I do mean rarely - wear my glasses outside, but for some reason I did while moving horses in the barn. The weather was so cold, everything was frosting almost immediately. even my hair!!

My horse took a big breath and blew it out, right into my face - and Literally Blinded me!!!

It was frustrating and funny at the same time. She didn't know what she did, and why we stopped so abruptly. 


Oh!!! and there is always some calamity when its miserable cold - We got a call from a neighbor - look west!   We looked out our window and saw this: 



That is smoke from a fire, and the fire truck lights looking our way - it was still a mile away, and the wind was blowing from south to north ( see the Vortex caused that!)   But still not something you want to see when its dark. The guys all headed over to see if they could help - seems they had a fire in the cornfield.... 

no real details as to why?? but! It got put out and all was good.
