Things are still poking along over here. We’ve hit a patch of beautiful weather and aren’t sweltering so much, which has made such a difference in our moods. You all know that summer is the hardest season for me, but it’s definitely made sweeter by some of the things I’m sharing in today’s post.
Today is full of pictures that I’ve been collecting in the last couple of weeks and just a few words. This is my best effort to stay in touch right now!
And I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, full of exactly what you need!

Such beautiful flowers! And I love seeing your tomatoes, I wish I could grow my own food like you’re doing. I learned how to cross stitch during Covid lockdown, but on plastic canvas. Yours is amazing! And that sweater, oh my gosh! That’s so cool! My goodness, you have so many amazing talents! And I, too, suffer in the heat, so I hear ya, bring on the winter!

Thank you, Kimberly! Cross stitch is just as impressive on plastic canvas – the technique is the same!! I hope you have a great weekend 🙂

I have a feeling there’s a lot on Storygraph that I’m not using because I just don’t know it exists — I have to do some more exploring! Your flowers are gorgeous and the tomatoes look wonderful. I hope the weekend brings you plenty of knitting time!

Thanks, Sarah! I’m also hoping for a lot of knitting time. And possibly a trip to my indie bookstore today after work? It’s Bookstore Romance day!
I hope you have a quiet weekend!

Laila – I planted six dahlia tubers and only one produced any buds! The plants themselves are all healthy and beautiful but no buds. Maybe we can both figure it out next year 😉
