Quilting in the Country
June 11, 2010
Buggy Barn Quilts is a destination quilt store in the country near Reardon, Washington. It’s a fun place to shop if you are a quilter like me. I’ve resolved not to purchase more fabric and patterns until I finish up a few projects, so I wasn’t their ideal customer. Still, they were warm and welcoming as we browsed in the small shop.

Countryscapes
April 7, 2010
Yesterday’s post offered some cityscapes. So today I will give equal time to rural images. What a contrast to the gleaming, shining, reflective glass and steel surfaces of a modern city. Yet each is beautiful in its own way.
Old Barn
by Janice Blanchard
On the edge of the town
See the old barn sag
With a drop in its ridge
Like a sway-backed nag,
And the shingles torn
By the west wind’s will
Fly from the skeleton rafters
Until
You may count its starved ribs,
One by one;
Old barn, old horse,
Your day is done.
