Hydrangas from my garden. I love the color. I almost threw this plant out a couple of years ago. I got it in a pot and when it was done blooming in the house it looked kind of sad. Instead of just throwing it out a friend recommended planting it in my garden. What did I have to lose? The next year it came up (to my surprise). Each year it has gotten bigger. This is the most blooms I have had on it. Thanks Walli! for telling me to plant it outside.

Finished this purse. Now to put it up for sale on ebay. If I can figure out how to do that. I did it once a while ago thru another service. I am going to try just doing it straight to ebay.

I painted this little yorkie on a new field bag. I am going to add some fabric around the edges and put it on ebay. I have another bag I have yet to paint on...I will have to find another something to paint on it.

I love this time of year...gardens are in full bloom. We have had wonderful sunny 80 degree weather. Wish I could bottle this for when it gets really icky in January/February. Tomorrow we are to get rain and thunderstorms in the morning and afternoon. We need the rain, but I just want the sun......

That is my grandson Nick at bat. We had great fun going to watch his game tonight. He is still at the 'coach pitch' level but the kids sure have a great time. Some up and coming stars I am sure. It is tournament time for them and they won their game tonight so they will go on in the play offs. Wish the Bees luck!!

I have a facination with clematis flowers. I think they are so interesting...even after they are done blooming (the top pic).
