Summertime...

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…” Not in this heat. Not with this humidity. Not for someone with MS it isn’t! These temperatures sap my strength and stamina, relegating me to a wheelchair. How is it that delicate garden flowers flourish in this heat, whereas I wilt, in spite of the air conditioner and ceiling fan blowing full force?

Coreopsis

When my husband was watering the yard this morning, I asked him to take some pictures of the garden. I’ve spent the day cropping photos and fiddling with files, finding an unintentional correlation between the colors in our yard and those I most enjoy using in my quilts. See for yourself.

    Dianne, I really have enjoyed going through your blog. Tonya linked me over to it. Our stashes are almost identical! I also have MS (not that there is any link between those two sentances...) Anyway, I hope the weather cools down a bit for you.
