- I'm not the only one enjoying my zinnias - they are attracting lots of monarch butterflies too
- Scadoxus - Katherine Wheel/Fireball - four flower heads this year.
From the sewing room:
- a small project in progress, because I am procrastinating over making a quilt back - pattern from here
- after my holiday hand sewing session, I have one more cartwheel to finish, then this can be turned into a pillow.
From the kitchen:
- vegetables and herbs prepped for my first Cook the Books recipe challenge
- plums being stoned and chopped for a new summer dessert recipe too
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend.
You captured a beautiful photo of the butterfly, stunning.
