DEER DESSERT

I am so happy that I took these pictures yesterday--
BECAUSE:
as of this morning the

deer have E A T E N all my lilies..even the buds have been chewed off....

This beautifully colored tigerlily hadn't even opened all the way    

thank heavens they don't like my Santolina--it is bursting with blooms...
it is very fragrant so perhaps that keeps them away...G O O D !!!!!











they also have given my basil a miss
;--))) 
I have pinched off the tops and
am drying the leaves inside--hopefully this will make the plants bushier...







As I haven't finished ANY quilts in June  :0, 
but rather  have been wrestling with 
Cassidy's quilt in progress...

(I have both long strips of 10 blocks each sewn together-
finally!!  And I also cut the batting and am ready to pin 
baste so that I can machine
Quilt As You Go those two sections.... 
And we have company coming this weekend, so I will have to wait
until I can use my dining table to do this first step....)


So,   
Today, I just thought I'd at least show you my 
flower "memories"...

I will be scrapbooking these pictures in my 2016
 Garden Journal.. 
I did some work  on that Tigerlily photo 
on a 12 x 12 page this afternoon....I had it enlarged to 5x7 and
I love how my new lens totally blurred the background...

I hope you will be having a wonderful Fourth of July weekend....
