Hump day

Today we were talking about my rhododendrons, which are going crazy this year, and my grandmother said that our soil must be acidic at the house since the rhodos and azaleas do so well here. She said she thought that might be the reason that my peonies haven't done so well, because "they like the sweeter soil".

And a couple of works-in-progress:
On the sewing machine.
And on the design wall.

Bleeding heart

The bleeding heart is really going crazy this year. They must really enjoy their home under the holly trees in the back yard. This is one of five fronds of hearts, and the last frond whose blooms haven't fully opened or "broken" at the bottom. This little plant always amazes me.
