Good Morning!
After showing only one or two flowers per day, yesterday our hibiscus went into overdrive! There are still more buds. While other things have not fared as well, this is the best year our hibiscus has ever had! Fletch found another tomato and cucumber ready to pick!
And Colin gave us a quart of paste tomatoes from the farm...I need to make some sauce.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Ours was very relaxed and fun. I managed to read a lot, stitch and knit! On Sunday we ventured over to C&M's for dinner. Colin grilled hot Italian sausages and sautéed some yellow squash, onions and peppers. He also baked a fresh loaf of sourdough bread. We brought a big bowl of eggplant caponata and Mailing made an incredible peach crisp. YUM!! Afterwards, we sat out back with a nice fire. Very relaxing.
Now it's Tuesday and time for a tiny needle update. The first one for September. I did manage to get a bit of stitching completed.
The cloud on the upper right has now been completely filled in and the cloud underneath has been outlined. And look! The first star has appeared!! There are still more stars underneath the clouds and then I will get to the moon. Here's a look at the overall piece so far.
Today it is back to caring for Iris. On Friday she stood up all on her own! She was in a downward dog position and just stood up! Scared the sh*t out of me as she was on a hard floor and I was a bit of a distance away. But she plopped down on her butt after a little bit. She is still not crawling, but scoots around on her butt very easily. I think she may skip crawling and just start walking. Bottom line, my hands are full when watching her! LOL
Here's hoping that your September is off to a great start!
