I did bring in my first zinnias this week. Had to stick a Queen Anne's Lace in with them. Love them both. The zinnias go in every year to carry on a tradition that was my grandfathers. No one went to his house without leaving with a bouquet of zinnias. They last a good long time once picked. Of course the Queen Anne's Lace is a wildflower, and who doesn't love a pretty wildflower!
Here's a little different shot of my Queen Anne's Lace in our backyard. I love looking up at them as well as watching them sway in the breezes.
I finished another motif on my cross stitch piece, and have started another. I decided that if nothing else, I wanted that one hour each morning for my stitching. I think it really does help me get off to a good start, and I feel that I've accomplished something. Here's the motif I finished..... I'm still loving the whole piece. Love the colors also.
I love the wildflowers that just show up, unattended each and every year, and I would love to start a wildflower garden in our back yard. I see tall purple ones in bloom right now, and need to find out what they are. They just may be the first in the new spot.
I'm going to let ya'll go for this time around. Not a lot going on here at this time, but do want to let ya'll know that I'm thinking of you. I pray that you're all well and stitching up a few little storms out there. Or doing other things that you're enjoying.
Keep in mind to not only see the colors around you, but actually look into them and try to feel them. If you love them, you can feel them.
By the way.....I'm so pleased that I still have sweet friends here that are following my blog, and I appreciate all comments. Thank you dear friends.
