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.

What a beautiful finish to this top, Wanda--just gorgeous !!
I got a late start this morning after one of "those nights"!! 67 degrees with a pretty gusty, chilling wind this morning here--but nice and sunny...we got a bit of a little mizzle late last night but nothing measurable...
Tom's out watering our newly transplanted bushes to help them settle in...they are looking pretty tired right now--hope they take...
I love those gloriosa daisies--their colors are so pretty...
Glad you got that needed rain...hugs, Julierose
The rain on the southern end of the plains has been doing the same. Watering has become a day to day thing. Just don't know if you need to do it or not.
Oooooh, that cake looks yummy! Are you using your phone camera for these pictures? You get really good quality.
The top is beautiful! We were forecasted to get rain Saturday and Sunday, but we only received a little bit Saturday and then it was sunshine all weekend. We could use some rain and we have a good chance several days this week. I have my first coneflower opening; I will have to get a picture of it this evening when I water.
The green corners really accent the TATW design. Bravo! No rain here -- happy to let your dry gardens have it.
Great quilt and great garden. Thanks for such regular posting.
Glad they brought you the cake - very kind of them. And the humidity is super high here this week, too. MUGGY in all caps.
the quilt top looks great. Glad you had rain for the tomatoes and flowers. That looks like a nice cake so nice they brought a piece over for you. That looks like black-eyed Susan's to me.
The quilt looks amazing!
Your TAW looks fabulous!
