No sewing yesterday..........
I had to do all of the finish up cleaning and bake the 2 batches of cookies for my art quilters who are coming today. Here is the last pot that I planted on Saturday. It sits in front of my garage between the 2 doors.
My hydrangea bush is loaded with flower buds. I have a new little bush in the back that has had a hard time getting started and this year it is going to bloom too.
The evening primroses are starting to bloom in about 4 different places. I have a few of them in several flowerbeds. I will have to thin some of them out after they bloom because they will take over the whole space if I let them.
My brother and I took Dad out to eat last night. He seems to be doing very well so far. I didn't call him on Friday or Saturday because I want him to be independent. He got a new watch that we had ordered from a catalog and was showing me how it will say the time out loud to him. It also has a couple other features that he is having fun playing with.

  2. Again such a wonderful combination. You call it "plant", but I say you compose them.

  3. No sewing! A day without sewing?!!! You must've been going out of your mind! (laughing). At least that's how I feel when I don't get to do any work on quilts!

    Love those blooms!

  7. I love the beauty that you call pots of flowers. They're far more attractive than my endeavors; thank you for sharing. Glad to hear your dad is doing okay right now.

  8. It seems our bushes and blossoming plants are extrodinary this year also. Wonder what that means? My sister has had an apple tree for 9 years and she had given up on it as it never blossomed and of course did not bare apples.... IT is loaded with blossoms this year.

    Your Dad is extrodinary to figure out how to program his new watch !

  11. Your dad is an inspiration. He seems to know things that not everyone knows. Isn't it wonderful. And I pray that you can find peace as well soon. Your garden is lovely...I think it's important that you are working with things that grow and bloom. Don't worry about the sewing...no one is going to take it away from you. It's going to wait right where it is until you are ready.
