Walking through the garden this Morning, I noted the beautiful Japanese Anemones were alive with bees. My header photo features just that. Someone before me loved these perennials as there are four healthy patches of them here.
Below is a weed, maybe Fireweed, not sure exactly what, but I do admire the intense pinks lining the pond path. This has tufted tops.
Here is a close up of Purple Loosestrife which is in a small meadow directly behind the house. It is invasive but has not spread here at all, just a few sprigs here and there each summer.
Early morning today I had underdressed for my walk. With the season changing, it was 9C and felt cool. But that was okay as it made me move faster.
Lately I've been getting ads for these and wonder if they'd be a good way to corral certain projects. From Madam Sew...anyone tried them??
On the weekend I got further along with my hand Quilting on the Book Club quilt. I have eleven of the sixteen blocks finished. Some are easy outline.
And others are circles for a change so the stitcher doesn't get bored.I struggle to find healthy foods that will hit the spot for snacking. Any suggestions???
I came across this little poem and believe the words to be so true. The tiniest of kind gestures from strangers are meaningful.
And little it cost in the giving
But like morning light, it scattered the night
And made the day worth living.
Credited to F. Scott Fitzgerald
And the world feels like a beleaguered place just now. It needs all the kindness we can muster.
And where there is loads of kindness to be found is at these linky parties... Songbird Designs and Small Quilts and Doll Quilts.
