More This and That



I don't know where the past week has gone but I see it has been 6 days since I last posted. And I was doing so well for a while. I will blame it on the weather because we had some cooler days and I wanted to get more done in my garden. I can't work as long as I'd like ( still babying my back) but slowly it will all get done.
My Lilies are looking good. I don't think I've posted the pics of them that I took ( to remind myself next year which colours grew where).





Volunteer Nasturtiums are growing under the blue Delphiniums. I like the effect but I think in a week I'll have to cut the Delphiniums down because they're beginning to look ratty.


I found this pot holder at the thrift store. I'm amazed at how whoever made it was able to fold and sew it so perfectly. It's almost too nice to use! I'll save it to put under hot dishes on the table.


I've been rearranging the shelves on my new cupboard. I thought my white jugs would look nice on the top shelf.

I had this bright and cheery patterned tea set put away. Now I can see it and enjoy it every day.


Last of all I will show you what I'm doing this afternoon. Putting my breadmaker to work making a sweet dough for Cinnamon buns. (See that funny lumpy one in the back?  I always end up with one end of the rolled out dough looking strange. It will taste just fine in spite of its looks! )
Some have asked if I share my baking with family.Yes, I do!


I hope I didn't bore you with my rambling.   I hope you'll leave a comment so I know you visited today!!

  3. I really like the nasturtium/delphinium combination. If you cut the old delphinium stalks down to the ground as soon as they are spent, new ones should grow with a second, lighter blooming.
    Your new shelf looks great. You are having fun with it!

  9. Hi, GM. I'm often slow about blogging too. I blame it on the HOT weather though, haha! It makes me sluggish.
    Your lilies are amazing! What bursts of color! I know it must make you happy to look out your windows and see them. And your cabinet is so pretty. Those floral dishes are perfect there. It's so nice to pull things out of back cabinets and boxes, isn't it?
