Finished My Tablecloth.

They didn't have enough fabric, so I had to sew the stripes across the ends. I actually prefer it this way. Cousins coming tomorrow.

Needlepoint,Tablecloth Fabric and Tomatoes

A real steal thrift shop find.Was going to take the needlepoint out of the frame and make a throw pillow, but maybe I won't.

Fabric for a tablecloth.

We need heat.

Knock Out roses. Pink.

My "don't need a lot of water " plants.

A Few Shots of My Gardening Efforts

Nancy's phlox.

A peek at a tiny summer squash.

Do you see that angry, red hot pepper hiding in the flowers? My first experience cutting one open clued me into it's hot little personality. One stroke of the knife and my breathing passages were peppered with attention grabbing firey hot micro jabs. It's a bell pepper. I didn't know bell peppers came in " hot". There's a regular bell pepper growing there too. And a jalapeno.

Eggplant. Black Beauty. Lots of blossoms and hopefully lots of eggplant.

Butternut squash and parsley, tomatoes and basil, summer squash and banana peppers. Still need to plant up that forth bed. The nights have been too cold for the tomatoes to grow as they should.

Blue Clouds

Not sure if you can see this clearly but where having storms all around us, there's clouds above the lower clouds but the clouds are blue...I have never seen blue clouds before so I had to take a picture.....

On the Way to Seaside

Stuart John and Aundi at Disney

This was taken just the other day, Stuart John decided to take Aundi to Disney for the day....Shannon and Amy tagged along for fun.....Can you tell he adores his Uncle????

St. Pete's Mini Va-Ca

Hmmm, Don tried his hand at picture taking....The chlorine did a number on my hair, even went swimming in the Ocean which I said I wouldn't never do.
Pictures from our hotel room, it was wonderful.
and of course I have been telling everyone Don can sleep just about anywhere, well here's the proof....lol

Baby Thomas -

This is the Kali sculpt by artist Romie Strydom and I've named him Thomas. I made his diaper and shirt and the matching teddy blanket. I got the booties, mitts, hat and blanket off ebay for about $20. Goes together good huh?

EEEK!

Well, here it is . Blinding sunshine will be the order of the day , at least for awhile. Do you see the guilty can of "Bumblebee" trying to hide under the marigolds ?

Potted Plant/Chocolate Cake

This is the potted plant I got from my neighbors, does it look too crowded right there or is it ok??
I gave you a shot of what it looks like coming out my front door also.

I baked this cake the other night, triple chocolate, Bree's friends inhaled it....lol Wish I could have.

A Late Lunch in the Garden

We were going out to lunch and I thot I better catch up with Lizzy. She was in NYC and might be coming home today. Indeed, she was on the road. Picked her up and stopped at KFC . Bob and I lunched in the garden.

Sunflowers "again"

Now I am anxious for all of them to bloom

BREE

This was recently taken, you think your hair was poofy and wild Phyllis, take a look at this head of hair.....Her hair is wild.

From Seedlings to Flowers

I really love these sunflowers, if you look in the background a bit you can see my flag that has sunflowers on it that Shannon got for me the other day. Aundi is quite proud of our accomplishment with these.

Take a Peek...

Two tomato plants in their "lasagna bed". Oh yes, and a basil plant also.

Cucumber, basil and an heirloom tomato, "Brandywine". Green fluffy stuff- Italian oregano. Flowers- salvia. Will be putting something else in this bed.

Three kinds of peppers. Picked the first bell pepper yesterday (plant on right). Some things are in pots so the bunnies, groundhogs and voles don't get to them before I do. Rabbits supposedly are not interested in tomatoes, cukes, squash and I don't remember what else. We will see. I also am not sure if they want to scrabble up the sides of the lasagna beds.

A "Black Beauty" eggplant.

Blue Lake Pole Green Beans

My lasagna garden. Still building the front right one. I have tomato( 2, yellow pear and beef? something) , 1 basil, 2 yellow banana peppers,2 yellow crookneck squash,2 butternut squash, 3 parsley. May add more to these beds. Not sure yet what's going in the unfinished bed.

This is all in backwards. Finished garden receptacle( melted).

Beginning...

Gathered items for garden receptacle project.

Blue Lake Green Beans..... Lovin the sunshine.

Sneak Peek of Baby Kalifa Amadi

Just trying to do an A/A baby again.....

Umbrella/Lawn Furniture

With our neighbors moving they had no place for there outside furniture so they gave them to us. This is before Don and I washed them (scrubbed) them down this morning. Don is going to fix the umbrella stand and it goes up right where it is now. Over a bit to make it even but it will look nice.
