Flowers, fruit, and curtains...


My white dahlias


The yarrow has come back nicely


Cassia's fairy foxgloves

The lavender bushes are probably four feet across right now


Loads of fresh strawberries this year


A melon blossom


A baby Meyer lemon


My white marigolds (though I would call them more ivory than white)


Our state flower, of which we have plenty


Cyrus's dahlias are in full bloom


The hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers


As are the abultilon


Someday this will be a lemon too


And last but not least, my lovely new living room curtains! I need to take them down and iron them, but had to see how they looked. The old ones, that came with the house, were brown kind-of-tweedy-wanna-be looking stuff.

Not Back-to-School Blog Hop

Not Back to School Blog Hop

Come on over to Heart of the Matter and join in the blog hop fun! It is always intriguing (at least for me) to see what other people are planning for the upcoming year - this week's topic. Next week School Rooms (or maybe the lack thereof) will be the focus, then kid pictures, and finally Day-in-the-Life. So come on over and join the fun!
