Hollyhocks

A couple of years ago I planted six hollyhock seedlings.

I watered them and fed them and before long they were taller than me.

They were very well behaved and I thought they were quite pretty.

The next spring I saw little leaves poking up out of the ground where the hollyhocks had 

been the year before.   How great!  They've come back and they've brought

some friends with them!

I saw another plant coming up clear across the driveway and lawn.

And a few more here and there in odd places. 

The flowers were several shades of pink and burgundy.

And a few double white ruffly ones.

I still think they're so pretty.  But they're not very well behaved.

Obviously they love to party!

So perfect for a cottage garden.

Light Garland

I saw this cute idea on Pinterest quite a while ago and wanted to make one for myself.

So I did.

I sat in the nice cool basement and cut strips from scraps of

fabric I had left over from other projects.

Tied them to an LED light string I bought at the after Christmas sales.

And there you go.  Simple.  Easy. I think I'll attach it to my trailer's awning

the next time we go camping.

I need to find another project to work on down in the basement.  It's 102 degrees today!
