In the Garden August 30...

 Happy Sunday !
Here is this weeks photo walk through the garden ..
I took these photos from my kitchen window through the screen ..I just love how they look .

 I never knew that these little finches destroy my zinnias.. They sit on top and pull the petals off like they are eating an artichoke !

The asters are blooming and they are all amazing .. So many different pink and lavender colors..

 Love this sunflower only 1/2 open ..

The zinnias are still going strong !

 This is ONE sunflower that is a volunteer in my vegetable garden .. The bottom of the stalk is about 8 inches around. There are so many branches off of it that each have multiple flowers on them.. It is leaning so it is tied to the fence.. It looks like a sunflower Christmas tree!

 Limelight hydrangeas, coneflowers and sunflowers..

 love these butter yellow zinnias

 A bouquet of zinnias for the house..

 More zinnias..

 Red volunteer sunflowers

Pinkie Winkie hydrangea ..zinnias and limelight hydrangea..
I will be back this week with some Fall decorating! I am so excited for it!

A Fall Stitchy Wreath

 Good morning!
I finished stitching this Prairie Schooler Autumn from the Prairie Seasons leaflet and today finished it into the seasonal wreath. This is the third season I have stitched .. only Winter is left to do !

 I love, love, love Fall decorating and the entire Fall season so this is my favorite so far...

 I just wrapped a wired berry garland around the wreath and used a burlap strip tied in a bow to attach to the wreath .

 It hangs on the doors to my chalk painted hutch in the kitchen..I just love it! I got the wreath at Hobby Lobby and I keep using the same wreath and just change out the design.. I used some light brown gingham check on the bias for the background mat..The stitching and the mat are both on needlework sticky board.

 Here is Summer..

 and the first one I did was Spring..

Next week I am going to start my Fall decorating and I cannot wait! So do you love it ????

In the Garden August 16

Good morning !
Here are my favorite photos from my garden this week !
Coneflowers are the best perenials ever ! They multiply and give you several months of blooms!

The hydrangeas in the backyard are still a little white on top ..

Russian sage , black eyed susans and coneflowers..Love Russian sage too ..it gives such a pretty look to your garden

made my first for this year Roasted tomato sauce from the garden ..if you have alot of tomatoes click on that link and make it! The smell while they are roasting is incredible!

Come on in! The DIY sunflower wreath is on the door..

This morning in the zinnias..

On the back patio ..The basket is a roadside rescue that I planted with mini pansies, alysum ,mini petunias and a couple other lavender plants. Love the little orange faces :) I have 4 wire baskets hanging on the fence back here and they are looking good!

Love this zinnia patch ! So much color!

The sunflowers are still going strong! I read that if you deadhead the multi branching ones they keep on blooming ..so I hope that is right!

Look at this amzing sunflower!

Summer Mantel

 Good morning!
I redid our family room mantel yesterday with a couple things my daughter found for me at Homegoods( she is the best !).. Look at this fabulous chicken canvas and the Fitz and Floyd rooster ! I love Fitz and Floyd but this is my first rooster !

 I used some vintage blue mason jars..a red lantern  ..an estate sale metal frame that had a paint by number in it ..another chicken and a vase of zinnias from the garden...Simple and summery ..

 You might remember I had a love/hate relationship with these bookshelves from this post .. But I am still loving them !

 Even Reagan approves :)

 She also got me this little chicken creamer .. Adorable ! It went straight into the galvanized tiered tray in the kitchen ..
