I Love Poppies

These beauties are in a small flower bed beside my front pathway. The plants were tiny last spring when my daughter gave them to me. My son in law grew them from seed ; and this Spring they have bloomed beautifully. My only wish is that the flowers would last longer. It has rained for the last 24 hours so the Poppies are not looking so good, but lots of other things are coming into bloom.

A Favourite Pastime

Today I am doing one of my favoutie things, hand quilting. I love to sit at my quilt frame and watch a quilt top come to life. I am presently quilting a Log Cabin quilt with 1"logs; the dark logs are in fall colours and the light side in shades of beige. I hope to have learned how to post a photograph to my blog by the time the quilt is finished.
While I quilt I like to listen to books on CD. Today I am listening to "The Woods" by Harlan Coben.
