A SUNDAY WALK

It's been very cool here this weekend. In fact, the weather people say it's the coolest on record for July. It feels more like October. Last week, everyone was complaining that it was too hot and humid; now they're complaining it's too cold.

How about a walk around the yard?

Remember when I showed this plant back in the spring?

This is a bamboo like plant that starts out with these reddish shoots.

Below is what it looks like now.

It grows taller and taller every day.

The variegated leaves are abundant and soon there will be tiny white flowers everywhere.

These Daylilies all have triple petals.

I had to ask DD if they were always like that.

We don't think the blooms were like this last year.

Isn't that weird?

I am especially fond of any flower that

has the Daisy look.

I love how these petals look like they were

dusted with sugar.

This is a mystery Mini Lily.

The blooms are only the size of a quarter.

It came to my garden from my MIL.

The buds are between a half inch and inch long.

The blooms only last a couple of days and

then they close up into a spiral.

The delicate flowers of Coral Bell are so pretty.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE...

I've been the only person in my house. Actually, 1990 was the last time I was alone in the house

for more than the daytime hours.

Well, I guess not totally by myself because Dottie Dog was with me the whole time while Hubby was away for the week for work. It was kind of nice being the only one around -- I got to sleep in the whole bed without someone stealing the covers, watch what I wanted to watch on TV,

and eat what and when I wanted.

Of course, there were times when it was too quiet, lonely and Dottie Dog just wasn't into having a conversation.

Hubby comes home tonight

and things will return to "normal".

STITCHY UPDATE

My stitching basket seems to be pretty full these days. Between working on projects for clients, I'm working on small things for myself too.
