Been a While
It's been a quiet summer. I've not been in the garden very often and it looks it. Black-eyed-Susans and balloon flower have taken over. Right now I've got a second bloom on both due to having cut them back after the main flowering had faded - so I guess I've done something! But I've surely not been weeding like most summers. Most of my "native plants" (which, in my garden, seems to mean 'invasive' or 'used to be called weeds until someone decided the flower was interesting') are out of control and moving in on all their neighbors. I could just let the whole thing go and call it a 'wildflower garden' I suppose.
The craft show season has started. I've got some new kinds of polymer clay items for sale - wall plaques (or maybe refrigerator magnets if I get around to gluing on magnets - didn't think of it until someone suggested it at the first show of the season last weekend) and figurines. I'd include a photo, but it uploaded sideways and I can't figure out how to get it right side up. It's OK on my computer, just not on Xanga. Strange.
