Border accomplished........................
Now Fridays can be devoted to a different project since both Strips 'n Curves are ready for quilting. I have a flannel quilt that only has a little bit to do to be finished and it has been waiting for around 10 years too. Maybe that will be the Friday quilt next week.
This quilt has a lot of gold on it so the reflections don't show the real beauty of the fabric combinations. It ended up 49" x 58", a good size to throw over the couch.
Most of the hosta flowers are not that exciting but this is one of my favorites.
This plant has skinnier pointed leaves and most people that I tried to share it with didn't want any of it. What they didn't realize is that it has one of the most interesting blooms.
Here is a close up of 2 of them................
and a more head on view of one. I'll take more pictures when they open up.
I had a plant called Baby Goldenrod which was small for the first 4 years. This year it is over 5 feet tall like the regular variety. I am going to go out and cut it all down when the flowers start dying off so it doesn't spread seed everywhere. 
Lunch with sisters-in-law was fun yesterday. I have some leftovers for lunch today. I won't want to be cooking because it is going to be hotter and more humid all weekend. Next week though they are promising cooler weather again, my kind of weather.

Dad's cardiac evaluation is next Friday to see if he is a candidate for hernia surgery so I should have a few days to relax now.
