This Orchid is beautiful, I have a hard time keeping plants alive. I have managed to keep an African violet alive. That is the only plant I have.

You also have revealed another hidden talent, taking photographs. These photos are beautiful.

Right now I am still working on a scrappy quilt and things pile so high when working with scraps.
I also have to clean up after summer sewing, I think I will tackle the sewing room Saturday.

Kass you would love it here. There are about 50 butterflies hanging outside their front door in the mint plants.
My my son in law is a chef. We’ve had a Korean feast one night, fish tacos with homemade salsa and cabbage stuff last night. If it weren’t for the tennis I’d be gaining a lot of weight. Fortunately the weather hasn’t been blazingly hot.
Sounds like you are having a fantastic time. I am trying to convince my husband to take me to the sewing and quilting expo in Cincinnati in September. It is only a 4 hour drive from my home. If we can' go in September then I will make plans to go next year when the expo comes to Cleveland.

Sounds like everyone is keeping busy until the squishies arrive.
There is an older brother in our congregation who always admires the ties I make for Gary so I made one for him today here is a pic

I also admire the ties you make. You think outside the box. I love that skill.
