Buffalo quilt and my garden

 Today was one of those days when I did everything and nothing. In my garden I found these gems. Of all the vegetables I've tried to grow these and herbs seem to be most successful, baby egg plants or aubergines. Worst is they are not even my favourite but they just grow on neglect.

I took a walk in the garden and found these regular little black ants , almost like house ants had raised their nest. I've seen lots of other ants raise their nest but not these. I also noticed the meat ant's nest was closed over so that means lots of rain and yes its raining right now. We need it but some are still harvesting sorghum and don't quite want it yet but they will have no choice as mother nature makes up her own mind.
When my husband traveled to Oklahoma several years ago he bought some quilt panels home for me. I have finally finished this quilt at long last. I love it. 
I really Love the detail in this panel, especially in all the grass at the bottom.
This is where he bought it from The Prairie Quilt shop in Hennessy, Oklahoma. He said the line up the day he went was just like in this photo. But he lined up for me . He's the best. He actually went to 3 quilt shops while he was in the USA and I have talked about in in a past blog.  Apparently this place is pretty famous.

Well, he's a keeper. My hubby is good to go shopping for me when he travelling for work. Not that he gets to go as far as USA.
Your finished quilt looks great. That panel has a lot going on.

Eggplants are doing well in our garden too. We are always on the lookout for recipes. Aren’t ants amazing at predicting the coming rain. And I love the buffalo quilt. Well done Bernie.
