Oh look!!
Blogger and I are starting to get along quite nicely
and I was able to capture a garden picture
and put it just where I wanted it!
It's been a nice Sunday - I went to church online this morning
and afterwards spent a few hours on the loom -
I made a real mess of threading a lace pattern
and so am ignoring the lace threading and
making a pretty kitchen scarf in plain weave
before I get up enough courage to cut off the warp
and re-thread it to the proper pattern.
I suppose it doesn't really take courage ---
Just a weary acceptance of the fact that I have
created a little monster
and I must spend time re-threading.
But then, what else is there but time
with this on-going pandemic that only seems to
affect us with a little "lockdown" that discourages
us from gadding!
Lovely afternoon of music on the TV .....
Enjoyed a young man's violin music
and Pressler - the 96 year old pianist
who plays the piano like a young and vigorous man.
I admire him greatly, - he has such a sweet smile, too.
Oh, if life is kind to us oldsters
we do make the most of our gratitude!!!!!

Do you live as near to the water as that Hildred - is that your garden? It is lovely.
We are about a half hour's drive from Penticton and Okanagan Lake, Pat, but have lovely swimming holes in the Similkameen River where the young ones gather - also along the Ashnola Creek that runs down the mountain into the river. Nice place to live, - wonderful valley for bringing up children!!!
and yes, that is my "Jungle Garden"!!! Going into it's golden phase of summer when all the yellow flowers are in bloom...
Your garden looks so lovely! I know what you mean about making yourself do a project that you might want to put off. But then once you do it, you are so glad that you did! I have a few projects like that right now and just have to make a start and it will be okay. Thanks for the inspiration!
Your garden is a delight again this summer, Hildred. Mine is still puttering along, mostly green with few of the perennials blooming. By the time I get more color, it will be time for frost! However, I'm not complaining. At this altitude, I'll take whatever blooming I get. Good luck on unraveling the thread.
Oh, what a beautiful garden! I love the mountains in the background!
The joy of watching your garden come to life, and then change by the day as summer passes is beyond words to describe. Your flowers are lovely and I know how much you enjoy them. As you settle down with your weaving today, I'm crocheting pansies for a doily, and praying for rain. It's really dry here, but with lower humidity today we couldn't ask for nicer afternoon. The hot sticky heat will be here in a day or two. Stay safe and stay cool!!!
You really do have an exceptional view!!!
Beautiful flowers!!
