Last night I finished - finally - stitching "Fly by Night". I don't know why it took my over six weeks to complete this rather basic design, other than I kept setting it aside to work on something else. I am really pleased with it - a very simple color palette, and "folk" look. I messed with the date and initials to personalize it. I think it turned out well. The linen was very soft and supple, easy to handle.

The weather forecast yesterday called for rain to move in by the afternoon. Luckily the storm was delayed for several hours, so after dinner I potted up eighteen fuchsias. The poor old fuchsias have suffered something fierce from my neglect. I purchased most of them a couple of weeks ago, and did not water them as frequently as I should. They've all revived, but two or three are extremely bedraggled.
I still need to pot up the two hostas in the back right of the photo. I won the plants last fall, and over-wintered them in their original pots. Now, they too are looking bedraggled and are in need of some horticultural love and attention!
