It was 100F yesterday, and is supposed to be quite hot again today. The wonderful (or amazing) thing was just how quickly it cooled down in the evening. By 7:00pm it was very pleasant outside, and by 8:30pm it was almost too cool - chilly on our over-heated bodies!
The deer took advantage of the cool morning to graze, and drink out of our birdbaths, before settling down for the heat of the day.
I do have a "finish" to share today.

This was a fun stitch - just five colors - two greens, and three yellow/golds. That said, there is lots of shade / shadowing in the design.
Yesterday I bought another hosta.
This one is called "Great Expectations" and I love it!
I also bought a new pot (1/2 price!) for its home.
Love your corn, looks so much nicer when stitched up, will have to dig out that chart, thx for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWeird, after reading the text I was amazed there were only 5 colors in the design. Seeing the picture I would have tought there were at least 8 or 9 in it.
ReplyDeleteLove the corn - OMG, we eat so much sweet corn in the summer it's ridiculous. Seriously - just about EVERY, SINGLE meal!
