Summer is Here



Hi! Sunset on the first Friday of the Summer! There's a big breeze, almost a wind, tossing the new leaves on the ugly locust tree, as the sky now---at 8.30 PM begins to turn pink.



Not a spring day today at all, we are totally into summer now. And it is Memorial Day weekend!



 The Blue Angels roared overhead this morning as the fighter jets practiced for the big weekend airshow. We so love our private showing!


The past few nights have been too hot to sleep! Dare I take off the flannel sheets? Should the parkas and big sweaters go to the box storage place or will this be a hoax?
The cottage is looking summery now.




















Mo knows something is changing!


Picnic and pineapple sewing tomorrow on the beach! Hooray!


BBQ on Sunday...







Summer is here. [I love this umbrella! My kids say it's awful...?]



Happy Memorial Day! Remembering all the brave men and women who gave their lives for our Freedom.

At the church flea f\today--I couldn't talk my friend into this darling antique yellow Wedgwood teapot! Only TWO dollars. Exceptional. She bought two pieces of the classic blue Wedgwood Jasperware instead, ho hum. I passed up beautifully embroidered pillow cases, dainty pale yellow and lavender baskets with handmade lace. Out of my budget at 10.oo. And there was an interesting collection of about ten glass flower frogs, each different. The kind with holes not pins. I liked them a lot.

Summer Hearts




Hi! Guess what! I wore shorts today! Imagine that. And of course I was oh so relieved that last year's shorts still fit,lol.


No quilting happening in the little sewing room lately. I just finished  making white linen hearts for my etsy shop, just in time for folks to slip them in with their fave winter clothes, as summer clothes come out and wintery woolens are packed away. This summer's herbal filling is a sweet mix of lavender, lemon balm, and lemon verbena. Light and fragrant.

Unicorn Snow



Good Friday Evening, my friends! The week of wind and rain has sent billows of pink petals swirling through the air, making drifts of magical pink snow for me and Mo. We call it Unicorn Snow.

































 Have a good weekend!
