Chilling with the bison and the Halvorsons

A few weekends ago I went with the Halvorsons and the SOKS group from the vet school to a bison feed. We got to take a hayride out to the bison, feed them and then we came back and had a bison burger barbecue. The weather was perfect for the fall and we had a blast. Jake was slightly under the weather and didn't enjoy it as much but Skylar had a blast (once we got her to feed the bison instead of throwing the pellets at them). It was nice to spend time with friends and to get out of the house. Sad to say, Mike was unable to make it because he had to be at the hospital.

We got to visit the farm as well as the bison.

These guys were big but it was awesome to see them up so close.

Jake being as cute as ever even though he wasn't feeling well.

Skylar feeding the bison, she didn't like the bison's tongue as you can tell by her face. But once she finally did it, she went through two more buckets of pellets.

Baby Boy Blish Quilt

To give you some idea of what I do with my time while Mike is at the hospital or studying...Here are a few pictures of my latest quilt for Andy & Kim Blish's first baby due in November.

Mouse to Tower Quilt

This is the front piece that I had to piece together and sew down. A lot of work but definitely worth it. I will definitely make this quilt again in the future.

This is the fabric used for the backing.

The dogs like to think that they helped with this one...little do they know. What they were really hoping for was that this was going to be a new blanket for them. Can't you see Tiger's little paws marking it as his?
