Mom’s Hummingbirds

IMG_9054

I wish I could have captured with my lens the amazing scene going on in my Mom’s yard right now.  Hummingbirds are going crazy-flying all over the place and chasing each other and fighting over the feeders.  Love it.  If I would have had more time over the weekend, I probably could have gotten pictures of the other feeder as well, but this feeder is just outside the sliding glass door.

They are so beautiful-love to take photos of the hummingbirds when they are in a rush to feed before their long flight south. 

Happy Monday!

Snap Dragons

IMG_8801

It is amazing how many flowers seem to be popping up all over now that the bunnies have stopped eating everything.  There are even a couple of red petunias in this planter.

IMG_8802

These snapdragons were actually planted last year.

IMG_8803

So pretty! 

Happy Wednesday!

Morning Glories

Now that the pesky rabbits stopped eating them, the morning glories are growing, spreading, and blooming again.

Hiding.

I love how crazy fast they grow, especially during this time of the year.

IMG_8833

Love the beautiful purple color too.

And the curly cue vines reaching out everywhere.

I’m hoping to sketch these.

New Fabric

IMG_8799

A pretty jellyroll of Vintage Modern Fabric by Bonnie and Camille. 

IMG_8800

I LOVE these colors.  (They make me happy).

IMG_8823

A teenage boy touched the jelly roll-can you tell?

IMG_8825

I saw this bulletin board at Target for 75% off so I stared at it in the store for about 5 minutes.  Then I grabbed it.  I LOVE that color too!  And now it’s in my Studio with a couple of quilt photos on it. 

Hope you had a fantastic weekend.  I have been thinking about this fabric all weekend, but I haven’t gotten to it yet.  Yet.

Happy Tuesday!
