Fall is Here




Well, fall is finally here although you can't tell by the thermometer! Our daytime highs are still in the 100s. But it is cooler at night. Living here also means that now a lot of the flowers and shrubs are blooming again. This "Yellow Bells" was given to me by a friend several years ago. I moved it to this spot and thought I killed it, but finally after two years of pampering it took off and I have beautiful blooms. I'm going to have to some serious pruning it can grow to 20 feet!



I decided to put the quilt in the guest bedroom. It looked a little bare, so I made matching pillow shams to go with the quilt. I didn't add batting and quilt them, perhaps later. I plan on redoing the room so this is a great start, with such a colorful quilt I have a lot of colors to choose from.
