I wanted to have a collage of the finished quilts for the first half of the year, so yesterday seemed like a good time to do it. They aren't to scale, just tossed into the collage. It's fun for me to see them all together to recap the first 6 months.
I took a few photos in the garden just before the rain started...again. We have gotten 8.25" of rain in the last 3 days, 2.75" yesterday afternoon. My north neighbor has a lot of standing water in their backyard.
This is the Zinfin Doll Hydragea before the blooms start turning pink.
There was one Black-eyed Susan plant 2 years ago. I counted at least 7 this year. Since I haven't been able to do much gardening, I haven't removed any of them, but I will need to move them after blooming season. Those are Coral Bell plants behind this one.
There are lots of blooms on the yellow Gloriosa Daisy now.
I coudn't resist a photo of the front porch on my way past it.
Over by the corner of the house the yellow Coneflower is doing great again this year. I really should get those weeds pulled while the ground is wet.

Your front porch looks amazing! It’s nice to review your collage and remember which of your finishes are my favorites. Can’t believe all the rain you’ve had and I’m sure the plants are loving it.
My friend in Plano said she got water in the basement from that storm. Up here we had a lot less rain, but enough that I didn't go to the concert or fireworks (I don't know if they still had them). Of course their were enough firecrackers in the neighborhood to provide a lot of noise. Your front porch plantings are exuberant! And so is your six-month collage.
I see a tremendous amount of creativity put into your quilts and gardening. What a fun post today Wanda. It’s absolutely stunning to hear you got 8.25 inches of rain in 3 days ! We’re lucky to get that much in a year.
