Days at Camp and Mini Halloween Sampler - A Halloween Freebie

Is it still summer? Hmmm well it feels and looks that way at camp. 🤔

All sorts of flowers are in bloom like...

Morning glories...

Asters...

Black eyed Susans...

and Queen Anne's Lace. 

The days are warm , bright and sunny which makes me jump for joy! 

But are there signs of fall? 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Well sure... 

The sawtooth oak acorns are falling. 

Corn has been harvested.

Golden rod is on it's last leg of blooming.

And a few trees are changing color and losing their leaves. 

I have been spending my time strolling the fields of turnip greens and fields of long gone corn crops as the sharecroppers have come and gone with their combines . The other day I watched the farmers as they came in to harvest soybeans. They had a very busy, long day.

Late this evening, I plan to work on a new stitch. It is another wee sampler with stacks of Jacks waiting for the Halloween season. It is called Mini Jack Sampler. I haven't figured out what colors I will use yet, but I will probably pick and choose from the floss selection from my "Halloween Stamps".  

If you are interested, I am posting Mini Jack Sampler as a "CHOOSE YOUR OWN COLORS" chart. I will certainly update this post later with my progress and the colors that I use.

Well Sweeties, that is my ramble for the day. I do apologize for not being able to visit like normal . We are off grid right now except for the occasional excursion to town. I do hope the days are treating you well.

Have a lovely day!

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
