Farmer's Wife Quilt Along-Week 8

I messed up last week I think and posted about my week 6 blocks with my week 7 blocks.  Blah!  Whatever.  I now have 16 blocks.  And here they are...

Block #11 Broken Dishes

Block #12 Broken Sugar Bowl

I was a Farmer's Wife this week.  Yesterday I waded down the ditch pulling out some bad weeds on each side.  I came out covered in grass seeds, splotted with mud, red faced and sweaty.  I then slogged wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of weeds to the tip pile not the compost.  I don't know if I was more worried about the potential critters I could encounter in the ditch or more worried about not being able to get out of the ditch once I was in it.  It all ended well.

On a happier note, we actually picked our first raspberries this morning.  The water is still so high because of all the rain that I got the ditch side of the patch.  Husband would not promise not to laugh if I fell in and asked if I would kindly time my fall so that he could fetch the camera first.  Luckily, I did not fall in and we were rewarded with a small bowl of red raspberry lovelies.
