First tomato...........

That is a teaspoon my first tomato is sitting in.....a grape tomato.  It is so cute... I hope there will be many more soon.
I got a new batik yesterday.  It is actually deeper and richer colors than the photo shows.  

I got all but 4 of the 53 quilts and tops from my program put away yesterday.  There are a few workshop things to put away and the house will be back in order.  
 I'm not sure of the name of this wild flower.  They are all over my flower beds and I didn't plant one of them.






Here is a whole group of them.  The whole plant dies before the end of summer.












Another thing I have a lot of is Sneezeweed.  I thought my friend was kidding when he called it that, but since then I have read about it having that name.









This is a close up of one of the flowers.  This has planted itself in many places too.  It is about 4 feet tall.  We had about 3 times the normal amount of rain in June so everything is tall and strong this year.  

I read that the Japanese beetles were probably killed off over the winter because our freeze line was so deep.
