Spectacular Bloom!

 Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight?  This year the Foxgloves took over every spare piece of dirt!  I can't complain because the flowers were spectacular!  I hope you enjoy them as much as me!  Make sure and click on the photo to enlarge - it's worth it!

Oh how I love Petunias!!

 

Container gardening is the BEST!  Living in the desert and working full-time has made me realize the importance of keeping things simple.  I LOVE flowers, so containers and small flower beds have helped me enjoy gardening during Spring, Summer, and Fall!

Morning coffee...

Do you have that special spot you can go to and relax?

We have a small gazebo type structure that is attached to our

home.  In spite of the hot weather, I love sitting there in the morning,

afternoon, or evening.  The area is shaded for the most part

and I love that quiet time to sit and reflect.

In the midst of chaos...

Beach Ball Dresden...

One of my favorite blocks to make is the Dresden block.  This particular version is called the Beach Ball Dresden.  I used a bigger ruler and I love how it turned out.  It's such a great way to use up your scraps.  Now, to finish all 35 blocks and put this quilt together!

A trip to the Nursery!

This time of the year is a good time to visit a Nursery.  Sun River Gardens in Orem, Utah was just the trip I needed.  They had colored flowers in pots everywhere!  

It gets me ready to start digging in the dirt!

You have to love that view!

One of my favorite views!  The mountains in Utah are so spectacular!  

Something yummy - Blueberry Lemon Bread!
