Aiden's stocking

The rains have returned and that means it's time to stitch! This project is a stocking for my youngest nephew Aiden. It seems to be moving along quickly, but I don't think it will be done in time for this Christmas. Maybe, if I didn't have to work...

Today is a rainy Sunday, football is on, apple sauce is warming in the slow cooker and I'm looking forward to another day of stitching.

Be a pansie!

I thought some fall color would be nice on the porch. Tony's Garden Center was having a sale on fall and winter pansies. Perfect!

English Breakfast Dahlia

She's a beauty!

Lupine

A few weeks after I took this picture, some creepy white bugs took over and ate my beautiful Lupine. :(

Stop and smell the roses

It smells as just as pretty.

Never done weeding...

Lupine, white Surdiva and pink Million Bells

Hens and Chicks

The rhodies are so pretty when in bloom, such a sticky pain when they're not.

Didn't get very many tulips or daffodil blooms this year. Maybe some better soil and compost will produce more flowers next spring.

The husband will get a mow in if it ever stops raining.

I guess the late trim on the roses didn't harm them too much.

Done weeding

Grassing, is more like it. There is a lot more grass growing in my flower beds than there are weeds. Not sure which is worse.

I may have waited too long to trim the roses back this spring. We'll just have to wait and see.

My mom and Nephew Keegan made this.

Grow already!

Pretty.
