.....it is the beginning of summer here in Wisconsin.. June is just about the most perfect month in my humble opinion. Powder blue skies, puffy clouds...comfortable days and cool nights for sleeping. Everything is new green and the pond is high...young life abounds ...
Outdoor projects come together after a start last Fall...
My herbs are doing a happy dance because their feet are no longer in clay soil that is either hard baked or soggy following any rain...this is their new home..
Loving the blue lupines along the back - special to me - seeds were brought back from one of our Alaska trips...
A little clump of marigolds, chervil and basil seedlings by the potting shed porch...
Miss Kim lilacs in bloom...a delicate fragrance hangs in the evening air...
Somehow, I got distracted from unsewing borders (more on this another time)
...watching our family of goslings with their attentive parents.
I did manage to finish Block #6 on the Benjamin Biggs Wedding Quilt - this was an enjoyable bit of applique to do...
...so happy you stopped by to share this day in June...hoping wherever in the world you are that the day is good for you.

Your flower area looks wonderful, but I love that purple adirondack chair with the quilt.

It does look like a really beautiful day there. We are enjoying the beginning of winter (although it's much milder than yours). Your BB block is lovely, beautiful fabrics.

ReplyDeleteI have not started Benjamin Biggs. I am seriously considering the red & blue combo for the blocks as you have done.
Your herb garden looks very happy! We just bought a 'Miss Kim' that is ready to go in the ground! I do enjoy June as well. Wish it were a bit less soggy! A big hug from me to you! xo
