It's the last unofficial week of summer. School starts on Tuesday. I have been busy helping my DD set up her classroom. Actually I didn't do much, but I did sort some books and assemble a couple of bookcases.
I also made another batch of Salsa - 7 jars. Boy! Is that stuff good! And I canned 10 more jars of fruit cocktail. This will be all for now. I will make some apple sauce when the apples are ready in a few weeks.
Last Sunday I was 'talking' to Marilyn from Marilyn's Maze. We both have been kind of slack in the finishing department. So, we challenged each other to a UFO completion thing. At least one quilt will be finished every month! I'm already working on my first UFO. Can't wait to show you when it is done. I am sure Marilyn and I aren't the only ones having this finishing problem. Anyone want to join us? Let me know.
Last year I bought this beautiful perennial hibiscus. I just love it! At the moment it is rewarding me with lots of colour!
Yesterday we went over to the garden centre and I found another perennial hibiscus in a swirly pink and white with a dark pink centre. It was on sale, so I bought it. I will be planting it this afternoon. There are not many new buds on it, but I am hoping that I can show you a photo of a blossom soon.
Now I am off to the library and then to an end-of-the-summer luncheon with my quilting friends. We're having Thai food. I can already taste the mango salad! Yummy!!
