More blocks, front flower gardens.........

I have been making more cobblestone blocks. Every session I seem to choose a different color group to work with.  I try to remind myself to make some tiny blocks because I really like the ones I sewed 4 together to make a block in one of my earlier pieces.

I made this group at a different time of the day yesterday.  I have 130 blocks to play with now.

I have lots blooming in the wild front flower bed.  There are coral bells, red penstemon, cranesbill and evening primrose in this photo.  Balloon flowers and orange tiger lilies will be next.  There is also a maple tree, rose of sharon and a redbud tree.  This is the garden that I was going to tackle this year but I ended up with the finishing blitz instead.  With the lack of rain it wouldn't have been successful anyway.

The hydrangea blossoms are just starting to turn white.  They will go back to lime green later in the summer.  This bush is in full sun now that my redbud tree has been cut down.

This group of red penstemon planted itself along the edge of the sidewalk in front of the goldmound spirea.  I may try to move these plants after they are done blooming.
