More beauty in my gardens.

 The gardens are in full bloom and small wonderful.
 I love the Asiatic  lilies.
 The deep burgundies are special to me.
Another busy day both in the house and the studio.
Need to finish my Quilt National entry enough so I
can do the hand stitching while recuperating from surgery.
WELL I AM OFF AND RUNNING.

Pond lilies


The pond is putting on a spectacular show of lilies this
year. All because my husband did not have the energy
to clean it this spring. All that fish poo makes for
lots of lilies. 
 What a happy accident.
We did mot put any fish in this spring.
We will definitely clean it out this fall.
In the meantime we will enjoy the show.
