New Sculptures

 Granddaughter #1 came over one day this month to help me build another sculpture with stones. Dan also had to help with the heavier lifting and the landscape adhesive.

Here are the results of our efforts.




Above is my stone Japanese lantern sculpture.

Below (sorry for the focus) are granddaughter's sculptures after she helped with the Japanese lantern.


This one is an animal she made for me, complete with eyes in globs of adhesive.


And before Dan put away the adhesive I made this one with ceramic pots.

What's Blooming Here

 Despite all our rain the flowers still bloom.  I took these photos last week and though there are some new blooms since then, there's more rain keeping me inside.

Enjoy!









Remember this unidentified plant above?  It's starting to bloom below.









And the pansies are still blooming in mid-July!

Book Recommendation

 Have you read anything by Jojo Moyes?  

I just finished "Someone Else's Shoes".

An excellent read of mixed up gym bags that leads to different and life changing experiences.


It's the 54th book read this year.

Now to update my Books Read 2023 list.  You can access it below.
