Look what I found on my walk, this morning!!

I used to love walking along the River Road

and picking wildflowers.

I especially loved the Queen Ann's Lace.

I would bring home the flowers and make

lovely arrangements.

Now I have a personal shadow who does

all my planting and I just have to pick.

 This bouquet was picked Tuesday for our

Cave Girls sewing day in the PeacedGoods studio.  

I brought it out of the studio to freshen it up (the Poppies had all lost

their petals) and I noticed that the

spider wart had bloomed in the vase (aka jar).

I think it looks nice next to my pin keep (designed by Sue Spargo).

I love all the fuzzy stuff in this arrangement.

speaking of fuzzy stuff,

This little Daisy loves to follow me around when

I get out the camera (or go to the kitchen

or the bathroom).  You are never alone when you have a dog.

But, look what I found on my walk!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only picked a few that were hanging into the street and

almost dragging the ground.

Really, more of a rescue than a theft.

This is a real vase my sister (the other Jack) gave me

years ago.

Well, as I said, the Cave Girls got together to sew, Tuesday. 

Below is a pic of Debbie's latest (almost finished) table runner.

I just love her idea to put sparkly gold rick rack down the

middle.

I am so lucky to have such talented and photogenic friends.

This is what I worked on.  It is a table runner,too.

Another photo of our flowers.  

 Just look at all the little maple

trees growing in the bed.  I have never pulled so

many of these "volunteers" out of our beds as I have this year.

If left to grow, we would be living in a forest this time next year.

You never know what you really look like till you have

seen your reflection in a gazing ball. 

Now, I know have red geraniums  growing out of my feet.

Anyway, when I go for my walk tomorrow,

I am going to take some scissors.  It is gentler than breaking off

the stems of whatever I find to rescue.  

But, maybe I'll ride my bike, instead.  I have a lovely

Nantucket basket on the handle bars that would be

perfect for picked (pilfered)

blooms. 

 Plus, I can make a faster getaway.
