TWO TREASURES FOR HUNTER KNOB

My friend LaVeda and her husband Mike offered us these two antique desks for Hunter knob. We went today to look and them and
we loved them both. This larger one has 3 drawers. Both are solid wood and very
stressed. Really special indeed.

The smaller one is an old school desk. It even has some initials carved on the top of it.


It has a hinge that opens for the storage area.

Both are awesome and will find a good place in Hunter knob possibly in the quilt room.
THANKS LaVeda and Mike.



Yuppie Puppy


Brandy went to the groomer this week. She is always very proud of how she looks after the grooming and we call her the yuppie puppy. she looks like she loses 5 lbs after she is groomed.

Retirement Gift


Michael is trying out the retirement quilt I made for him.
The top is made of wool and the backing is flannel so it is a very warm quilt.

STILL FALL at HUNTER KNOB

In mid November there was still some fall foliage. This is the VIEW from the deck with the leaves off the trees.



My favorite red oak still has a few leaves. It was the last tree to turn color as it was still green when we were there in October.


The leaves on the ground are pretty neat to see also.








These trees are along Hwy 66 heading to Hunter Knob.
I am not sure but I think they might be Bradford Pear trees?
I guess I will know for sure this spring if they are full of blooms.






This is the dogwood we planted in October between the driveways.
