For the last couple of days I’ve seen red through the leaves of the apple tree so I went out this morning to pick them. I don’t often get the variety of apple that turn red; we only get a few and they often fall to the ground before I get to them.

I picked two buckets full (from all the varieties) and they are soaking in the sink right now. I’ll sort through them and cut some for apple crisps, make some apple sauce with some and, maybe, I’ll be able to have a few fresh ones.

While I was in the yard I cut back a few of the daisies in the corner by the apple and then I started cutting back the grape and the wild morning glory. If left alone they both attach themselves to everything and could take over very quickly. I’m far from done but when I look out the window they aren’t the first thing I see. The mornings are a bit cooler these days so I’ll try to get out again tomorrow.

I didn’t do any sewing today but I did a lot of prep work. My next clue in the Hex-Along was released so I’ll get the fabric and templates cut tonight and maybe start basting them. I also drew all the templates for the aprons that will be on my Farmhouse quilt; lots more cutting for tonight.
