Summertime...

It's summertime and that means the Hydrangeas are blooming everywhere. 

My garden is no exception, I have a total of 7 plants.

I have so many flowers outside,

I almost always bring some in the house so I can enjoy them all the time.

I find this vase is a perfect companion for them.

Summer also means I am finding Caterpillars on my dill plants.

I have brought these in the house,

as I am already starting to see some disappear. 

Knitting Is The Answer...

 ...I don't care what the question is...

It is the one thing that brings people together and brings me endless joy.

So when our knitting group found out that one of us was having some serious health issues,

 Leanne came up with a plan and we jumped into action.

We would each knit or crochet an 8 inch square in shades of purple, her favorite color.

 Our group came together quickly and within two weeks we had 49 knitted and crocheted squares.

Some of the girls were able to make more than one square, the fast knitters and crocheters.

I, made one square and finished it in time.

Liz joined them together and those squares became a beautiful blanket to wrap our dear friend in love.

My square is the bottom, corner square on the left.

It feels wonderful to be a small part of a big project like this.

Sending love to a friend that really needs it.
