The Magnolia in the Yard

I picked this Magnolia off of a tree in the yard yesterday and brought it inside the house. After being in water for several hours it became this beautiful shape. I had to post a photo of it.

My Honda

A walkway with a view. I have to walk right past my garden to get to the Honda that takes me to go see the babies that I make all of those baby quilts for when I go to my quilt shop and rent the longarm machine that I love to quilt on.

The Noise of My Life

I was taking photos of my quilts and the birds were making noise. Even taking some photos of them did not make them be quiet.

Everyone loves to hear about these birds. Here is a close-up of them for those of you who think they would be "just wonderful" to have.

These are the birds that I hung in the house. They are so nice and quiet. They are my favorite.

Check Out These Flowers

When there is a birthday, flowers are such a nice touch.

These were so pretty that I had to post a photo of them.

Trent's New Quilt


These two quilts were quitled with the longarm machine that I rent. Here is Trent's book quilt and another little girl quilt. Their bindings are cut and they are ready to be finished.

My Summer Garden

Here is my new Summer garden. Some of my spring plantings were dried up so they were removed and replaced with green and red elephant ears, the purples, the little lilacs and the magentas. The plants selected shoud endure the summer's heat better.

Here is a peek at the houseplants from my Spring garden. They are all doing great. I have had to make more room for all of them already.

Here is the new section of my houseplants that were purchased during the Summer garden shopping spree. Again, I have sunk bricks into the garden to provide a platform for the pots.

My frogs now sit on these side bricks instead of underneath the herb planter. A new view for summer for them.

Look how many baby Spiders have grown. I need to go get some soil and start the "Baby Spider Nursey" and make new potted Spider plants.

Here is a new hanging Spider plant that I just purchased. My two hanging English Ivy plants did not make it in the Spring heat. This one and the next hanging plant should do better in the summer.

These wonderful plants are nice and hearty and will grow anywhere. That is what I am counting on.

Here is the temperature for today at 8:30a.m. this morning. He was reading 80 degrees.

Here is how the lounger sidetable is looking. I still have room for my coffee, cell phone, book that I am currently reading, a notepad or sketchbook and eye glasses. My garden is great.
