Summer boating

Nicole visted us on her whirlwind stop heading for Thailand this summer. It was wonderful to see her looking so good. She and Dad kayaked the Lake and creek. Believe it or not we had a spot of good weather for their outing.

Here is a photo of the creek. Lots of waterlilies and reeds.

The intrepid canoer in his portaboat. Oh look he is wearing his life jacket!
The beautiful kayaker in the lake. Oh look she has her life jacket on!

I am back

Here are more photos of the yard. I have two weeping roses by the side of the garage. When I purchased them they were bare root and by the time I planted them they were very sad looking with wilted sprouts. But after many weeks they leafed out and blooms galore. Since this was their first year I think the stems will be fuller in the future. I am very happy with them.

Lace cap hydrangeas are one of my favorite plants. Here is a close up. They are not native but I think this particular type looks natural in the yard.

This is the bunny playgound. Bare dirt in the garden. There were lettuce plants here. Mowed down before we could make a salad. We do have other veggies but the bunnies like lettuce.

Thank you for looking.

Sundry photos

Some photos to see.

New fabrics. I am planning a citron, grey, black, teal quilt.

So I need to collect. There are so many great prints out.

Local organic strawberries. They smell just like they use to

when I picked them as a child. REAL strawberries taste amazing.

And they look like beautiful art all nestled together.

Randy's new acquisition. A collapsible kayak. Here resting

in the garage. He is very happy. It travels in two bags for easy

transport down the slope to the lake.

Yard in waiting

The bright spot in the background is the creek.


Japanese maple. Lots of empty space!

Dogwood on new slope.

Photos of the yard. Too much rain and cold temperatures have stopped progress and growing. Hopefully summer will start soon. I will post more pictures when I make progress. The yard is still new and needs filling in and structure.

Zucchero Zucchero

This is one of my favorite songs from Zucchero. He has done it alone, with Pavarotti and now with Cheb Mami. Wow it is soooo good. Please enjoy

I love glittery things and now I have some fabric the sparkles. Here is the new addition to my stash. It will be going with dark colors. The fabric has glitter but is machine washable and dryable without loss of glitter! My only concern is if the dark colors will bleed on the white. So I will have to wash the darks well and maybe rinse with vinegar.
There is white/silver, white/gold, white/white and platinum/silver.
Now I will just finish my Master Bedroom quilt (photos to follow in next post) and get to this fun quilt.
