Sleep

Another sleepless night....Here it is 2:44 a.m. and I've been awake since 1:11. So what do you do when you are laying in bed listening to your cat at the foot of the bed snoring...get up and blog. I've been feeling bad about neglecting my blog. It's been a couple of weeks. Sometimes I feel like nobody cares what I have to say anyway. I'm not very good with words so that is why I post more pictures then words. Now my snoring kitty is sitting in my lap purring as I type. I woke him up.

Bonsai my constant companion. I think he is the most photogenic of all my cats.

Then when I''m laying in bed trying to go to sleep I start thinking about how much I miss my grandchildren who live 12 hours away in N.C. I haven't seen them since March when we met up with them in Chicago.

I love this picture of them that my daughter took. Max loves his big sister Cora. He is enjoying his asparagus here while big sis is putting her shoes on him.

The main reason for not blogging is I've been so busy planting flowers. We've been having some of the most perfect weather and when that happens, I'm outside!! Haven't been feeling much like sewing either. I'm always to tired to sew after all the gardening stuff.

My Clematis were just beautiful this year. They are almost done blooming.

One of my gardening friends 

Sitting in one of my big pots that has weeds growing in it. I'm still looking for red and pink impatiens that I usually plant in them.

He's cleaning up the seeds the birds spill from the bird feeders.

And the hummers have been here for about 3 weeks now. Isn't this little gal just gorgeous! Still trying to capture a shot of the male hummer.

Well it's 3:30 now and I guess I should try to get some sleep. I think I'm going to need a nap this afternoon.

Happy Monday!!!

Sweet Hummingbird!

It was such a nice day today that I sat out on the deck and ate my lunch. And got a little bit of sewing done, on another doll dress ornie that I finished up today. I was enjoying the hummingbirds coming to my feeders out on the deck and thought that I should set up my tripod and try to get some close shots since they weren't to afraid of me. I think these pictures turned out spectacular! I just think these little birds are so amazing! Never get tired of watching them. As you can see in the one picture a little ant is sharing the feeder with him. The ant didn't even bother him. I need to get another one of those ant traps that you hang from the top that have the water in them.

Here is my new dress with the fabric that I bought yesterday. It will be for sale in my etsy shop tonight.
