The vertical seams are all sewn now and it needs its final pressing. I fingernail pressed seams to the left in each of the 4 vertical sections as I was constructing this William Morris fabric Trip Around the World.
I started the day by walking to the end of the driveway to pick up the newspaper. On my way back to the house I saw something was starting to bloom so I got my camera and came back outside. I think we decided this variation of Rudbeckia is Gloriosa Daisy. Several plants have come up from seed this year.
I think this might be the first Black-eyed Susan blooms.
The birthday party for my 5 year old neighbor girl got started late Saturday night so I came home before they served the cake. The girls brought me a piece last evening. I added some ice cream after I took this photo.
I was out trimming low branches off the tomato plants yesterday afternoon and I noticed how dry they were. Rain was predicted but we got so little from the Fri. and Sat. storms that I wasn't sure we would get any. I decided to wait and water late in the afternoon. Well, l didn't need to....we got a heavy rain mid-afternoon, 1.3" and then some more storms rolled through before 7:30 and there was a grand total of 1.6". I won't need to water for a week. The grass was starting to have brown spots so this rain should green things up again. High humidity predicted for the whole week so we might get some more rain.
