Summer

Summer is going fine and busy! I continue to work on my crochet projects whenever I can. I still reading The Lost Flower Children. Making easy recipes for Summer. Got some easy reading books for E. to use in the near future.
 


Red potato salad that someone had in facebook. It's made for tonight but I tasted it and tastes great.
Lemon Lima beans recipe.  I added extra lemon juice.



 Tea from India given to me by son-in-law who traveled to India for work
 Cotton wood tree has been letting it's wool fly around and it's annoying because it attaches itself to every flower or vegetable plants in the garden.
 I gathered 5 different types of grasses here and made a bouquet.

 Bouquet of 5 different grasses
 Our impatience is doing well potted, I have a few more that aren't doing as well as this pot.
The table runner was hand embroidered in Linen by a friend in Brazil years ago.

 These Hostas were planted here by the person who used to live here...they are blooming well.
 African daises. A friend gave a small plant and now it's big and I will need to check and see when to dived them since they spread.
These are blooming nicely this year

Lazagna and this time made with some chard between layers instead of spinach like I usually do.


But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

    1. Those that are in the center are the the ones that produce all those cotton. It was particularly fertile this year.

  8. A lovely arrangement of grasses set out on a beautiful table runner reminding you of your friend's handiwork with embroidery. You have a garden with many sweet flowers, mature trees and a wonderful view. A blessing. Enjoy your Summer days.
