Tweaking The Gardens,Trying Designs For Stitching & Another Rainy Day

 A little rearranging of some of the flowers & plants, Hibiscus,tomatoes,chocolate mint,morning glories,butterfly bush.... doesn't look like much yet ,but oh when it all starts blooming ! 



So far I have a few collard plants & squash with zinnias & marigolds started


I can't show you my Lilly bed because the  people who cut my yard mowed them down , I'm; still kinda mad about that😡

Out of nowhere this evening we had a short but hard downpour,I keep a rubbermaid trash can in the shed that I call my rain barrel 🤣 it rained so hard that it filled up quick 


Caught little mama coming in from looking for something to eat,she sits on her eggs most all day & through the night now


I sat down to practice a few designs for the bird quilt

what I thought would work is not working 🙆 back in the day when I'd quilt with my Aunt she'd draw a design  on paper & stitch around it,then simply remove the paper, so I tried that today👀 when I pulled the paper off it came off as well as the stitches 🤣  then I tried the sew the design  with the needle of the machine & dust it with chalk,it didn't show up🙆 then I tried to freehand ,the threads barely showing up lawd have mercy!🤣🤣
