When I was growing up, we heated our house with a wood stove. The kids' bedrooms (one for the 4 girls still home, one for the 3 boys) were always cold in the morning. This encouraged us to stay in bed as long as possible, but once we got up, we hurried through dressing and downstairs to warm our backsides at the stove. <br /><br />One morning, the stove was little too warm and I was a little too close -- my mother started yelling and brushing at my backside, which was not so safely tucked behind a bathrobe -- which caught fire! Thank the Lord, the flames were quickly extinguished and there were no injuries, but my beautiful new, full, quilted robe was a total loss. <br /><br />I'll be back to look at your blog often!Brenda Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-65350073248336812382009-10-05T14:35:35.996-06:002009-10-05T14:35:35.996-06:00An earthquake??

I've been pulling off the ones that are turning slight and bringing them inside. They ripen in a few days or so.The cherry ones are so sweet - I eat them like candy.<br /><br />You're making me hungry with your descriptions of pies and pumpkin bread. Think I'll slip over to MGCC and check that recipe out.<br /><br />But before I go, I'm curious - did you get your snow??Islandsparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474765495506044446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-80277890756685690952009-10-05T12:32:08.807-06:002009-10-05T12:32:08.807-06:00Gretchen,
I'd love to leave the quakes to you ...Gretchen,<br />I'd love to leave the quakes to you in Cali. But pies and poetry, we'll keep here.<br /><br />Thimbleanna,<br />Hubs told me that back in the late 60's there was a quake that caved in the wells and waterlines. I hope we don't discover problems later on. I didn't think you were in earthquake territory either. <br /><br />Suzanne,<br />Thanks for your sweet, sweet comments. I'm glad you enjoy visiting here.<br /><br />Ohio Farmgirl,<br />End times? Who knows, but it's odd for us to have a rumbler. I'm still enjoying the tomatoes and just had one on my hamburgers. Mmm.<br /><br />Toiling Ant,<br />That quote has always been a fav of mine too.<br /><br />Ellen,<br />It was a surprise to hear that rumble and feel the shake. Just strange.<br /><br />jodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-60732319912855386642009-10-05T09:16:29.438-06:002009-10-05T09:16:29.438-06:00Whoa now we aren't shocked to have an earthqua...Whoa now we aren't shocked to have an earthquake here in earthquake country.

I really enjoy reading about your life. I live in the midwest, too, but not in the country.

You had an earthquake??? That's amazing...Wow! You had an earthquake??? That's amazing! Hopefully you won't have any damage. We had an earthquake here (4.something) a year or two ago -- about six months later we noticed water seeping in the basement. We opened up the wall and there was a pretty little crack. Based on how the house groaned during the earthquake, I'm convinced that's what made our crack.<br /><br />Sounds like you've been busy getting ready for winter. I LOVE the change of seasons and the preparations for each new one!<br /><br />Oh! And you're so lucky to have had great tomato crops -- so many people around here have had bad luck this year.Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-27061588440988052182009-10-05T00:05:01.005-06:002009-10-05T00:05:01.005-06:00That Cowboy Poetry event sounds like a lot of fun-...That Cowboy Poetry event sounds like a lot of fun--two good things you write about: pies and poetry.<br /> But an earthquake?
