Chrysalis Adorned with Gold

Lacy Tree

Last week found us at the lake again, this time enjoying a wide range of weather: rain, hail, sun and fireworks. Okay, so fireworks don't count as weather, but we did take in somebody's private show across the water.

While laying on the ground stretching one day I was struck with happy wonder by a tree viewed from a different angle. I think it must make our Creator happy when we discover the beauty He has placed everywhere.

Oh, Happy Day!

Yarn in the mail! I am going outside the box this time and trying something beyond wool, namely Quince & Co. "Cleaner Cotton." To become Maritime Signal Flag H.

Pretty Weeds

Welcome

 

Hannah and I have fallen head over heels for begonias these last two years*. For some reason we had it in our minds that these were difficult flowers to grow. Now we know we were wrong, and that makes us very happy. And so begonias have become our lush and vibrant "Welcome" to all who come to our home.

*Could it be that Jason's gorgeous begonia varieties helped win our hearts? Probably.

Crisp Continues

Crisp continues to be Hannah's and my go-to for an easy to make dessert. Since my last crisp update I have created three more versions:

Apple

Tart Cherry

Blueberry & Saskatoon*

All fruit was homegrown and from the freezer except for the blueberries, which we have not had success growing in our soil.
