June Happenings

It's been a very busy, 

but enjoyable month.

~~~***~~~

First, I want to give you a brief

tour of the gardens.

~~~***~~~

  

This is our first year to grow cabbage. 

It's looking good, even the bees like it :) 

Here's the zucchini patch.

I haven't picked any yet, 

but look, can you see that first one?

I'll probably pick it for tomorrow's dinner.

Last week I started seeing quail

in the yard.

Aren't they pretty? 

We have tomatoes on the vine :) 

And the dill reseeded itself,

wasn't that sweet?

For the past two weeks my nephew

from Indiana

has been here visiting.

This is him loading up to leave.

Him and his wife are now on their

way to Alaska.

I saved some vegetable tins

and planted them up with succulents. 

This little crate was a yard sale find

years ago.

I think it gives them a cute

farmhouse look.

While I was taking photos in the yard,

I thought that I would show two of

my favorite garden ornaments.

Our daughter made us this back in 

March of 2008.

It is the footprints of our 

two sweet granddaughters

when they were toddlers. 

And this stepping stone was a gift

to ourselves on our 25th anniversary.

I've started buying quilting supplies 

for winter.  Once the weather gets cold

and the roads are icy, I plan on

staying home and quilting :)

This sells for 17.99 a yard at our 

Joanna Fabrics.

I bought 40 yards for $200 on Amazon.

That's $5 a yard.

And reason to do my happy dance :)

 I also bought more fabric.

I always wash it and iron it before

using it.

So this afternoon 

I ironed and folded these.

I buy my fabric online and I always

buy last year's designs.

You can find them for half price or less.

I have one more item to show you

before I say good-bye. 

Yesterday I had to run to Home Depot

and on my way I saw a Yard Sale sign.

So of course I stopped.

This is what I purchased for $3.

it's on a lazy Susan

and will be very handy next to my 

sewing machine.

That's it . . .

if you're still here

and I haven't bored you to death,

Thanks so much for visiting.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
