I was deadheading my hellebores and thought:"you are even pretty past prime"...
We should feel that way too.I am appreciating the stars that are aging naturally without the huge lips,taut faces. etc..
If life should be like this we would have a rewind button.
Just saying.
In the gardens.. so much has come and gone but still some to come:) Thank goodness.
Speaking of gardens..(Who me? ) LOL..
On IG.. I spotted a new craft..making flower frogs..unknown to me ..Yet not new..So just Google and ye shall find.. Linda at Crafty Gardener made some years ago..
It is so easy to make these..Air dry clay.. fit your topper to size over the jar/vase you will use....make 5-6 holes depending on size..I used a straw..and make designs..I much prefer the terra cotta color..you add the color once your clay form is made and dried..Let the air dry clay dry overnight ..in the shape you gave it..Paint and..
Varnish..Make a bouquet to give or keep:)
JUST SAYING.NO JUST SCREAMING.
The Daylilies are starting..all the true pretties.. I'll highlight some next time.My basil is so awful:( I'll start over..Funny some yrs some things are knock your socks off and others..not at all.
I love my new to me nasturtiums.. From Susan..the seeds..I did not have the heart to snip them for my flower frog lol..took my usual suspects:)
On the homefront..
Noah turned 16! We went to lunch with him..(tradition) and asked Oli to come with him..More fun for Noah:)
Max and Oli are both involved in Team Québec football..Both traveling far for it..Max in Regina..Oli in Antagonish.
I can't believe Max moves mid August...For college ..and his football.
Lucas is still day camp coordinator now..still into football..last yr college I think..Then uni..
The loves of my life..My family.
Have a great weekend.
