Update....

First of all, I wanted to inform you that after the little house wrens got their nest about half-way built, they quit coming.  I have no idea why.  I heard them around, but not on the porch.  Today I have yet to hear them anywhere else.  Even though I mostly regret that they didn't raise their babies, in ways I am relieved that I don't have to worry about one of my cats getting one.  So, I will just try to be happy with the situation.

I started out with just one iris this color...now look at them!  Same with that one in the upper left-hand corner.  I had one of them and now probably have half a dozen.  I LOVE how they multiply.
I just hope it holds true for the one below.

It was in variety bag that I got a few years ago.  It is a beauty.

They are all actually slowing down...on the downhill side of blooming.  Not very many buds left on any of the colors now.  I sure have loved them.  They are one of my favorite flowers...along with pansies, hibiscus, foxglove, cone flowers, gladiolas....you get the idea:  you name it and it is usually a favorite.

Latest quilt top...

You really do need to click these for a better view.

I think I am calling this one Crumbs in the Corner...it is just the quilt top.  I still have to get a batting and some backing material before it becomes a finished quilt.  Since it may be a while before that is done, I thought I would show the top.  Of course the wind was blowing...so no real good photos but you get the idea.

Again, I started making the crumb blocks because I couldn't decide what project I really wanted to start.  Then, they turned into the project.  This covers a full size bed, but doesn't have much drop to it.  I was making it with the idea of it being another couch quilt for someone to snuggle under when they are reading, watching TV, etc.

The decisions are made....

Not the greatest pic...but you can see that silhouette.  It is a little house wren.  They have made their decision and have decided to have their nest in the gourd on our front porch.

They have been busy all day...and just sing and carry on something fierce.  Just happy to be alive.  I guess we should all be that way.  They are such a joy to have around.

Sink is in, but kitchen still is not back to normal.  But will be here shortly. 

Lorelei is coming tomorrow for a couple nights.  I hope it doesn't rain the whole time.  If nothing else, I would love to take her to a greenhouse before the plants are all gone.  And maybe get to take her to the park to play.  And it is warm enough to have out the squirt guns...of course, she is just as happy being here as anything.  So it is no worry either way.  But would just like to see her reaction to all the flowers.
