Thank you so much for your beautiful art Ladies! I love and appreciate each and every stitch!


Even though we are into our 3rd week of rain here in New England ~ with a few sunny exceptions ~
my garden is managing to keep producing it's beautiful show.

Lupine .....

and a Foxglove jungle are making me smile through the rain drops!

These are not such great shots of my tiny veggie garden but wanted to show you something ~

the Willow Edging and Red Water Catchers under the tomatoes plants are in Gardeners Catalog

~ http://www.gardeners.com/ and somewhat pricey.

I got them at our local Job Lot last year for a few dollars each!

The water catchers even have the Gardeners name on them!

Keep your eyes open ~ it's surprising what you can find at those kind of stores.

These Candy Striped Roses smell like Christmas Ribbon Candy!

"The plants and flowers of the commonest kind can form a pleasing diary,

because nothing which calls back to us

the remembrance of a happy moment can be insignificant."
