It is hard to have a bad day when these beautiful sunflowers are growing in your backyard.  My sunflowers are different from the more common and quite larger annual sunflowers, but I like them better and I will be able to enjoy them year after year.  It was so nice of my neighbor to give me these beautiful flowers as seedlings. See them as seedlings here, a little bigger here and with tiny buds

A couple of weekends ago, I went wine tasting in Dahlonega, Georgia for my friend Katie Murphey's bachelorette party.  I had so much fun.  Dahlonega is very beautiful and the vineyards were amazing!  Since it is only an hour from Atlanta, I would suggest everyone make this trip.   Katie's Maid of Honor, Cristina Kinney,  did an amazing job of planning our weekend.  We stayed in the beautiful Spirit of the River cabin which was more than amazing.  It had a hot tub, direct river access, walking sticks and binoculars for your use, a screened in back porch with a fireplace...

My friend Jillian is having a baby and her Aunt Trudy is making her a baby quilt.  They asked friends and family members to help out by embroidering a square each having a different animal.  I think this is such a wonderful idea and I am honored to be a part of it.  I can't wait to see this special quilt completed. This little rhino is the first item I have ever embroidered.   Thanks Nikki for my embroidery lessons, you are the...

Just when I thought our garden was about to stop producing and wither away, it surprised me with these pretty bell peppers and this cute little eggplant.  Also some of our tomato plants have small green tomatoes on them again! And when I had pretty much given up on my sunflowers, I noticed these tiny little buds. I have no idea why they are just now about to bloom but I can't wait to have...
