DEEP PURPLE SUNDAY

My first purple block has a maiden peering out...........

Here is the piece so far....

It appears that it will be 50" long if I keep to this pattern of blocks...

and only 30" in width--so some kind of side borders will have to be
found...

Next up is RED----just ONE of those for the middle...good thing as I
am really low on red scraps...will be scrap diving for those...

**********************
AND...despite the forecast last night (!!), it is STILL hot and sultry
here...
dewpoint is 74--that is muggy!! 
Temp is 87.5 and 
still climbing...;000

********************************
Tonight will be bbq'd steak and salad for dinner ( Thom will add
french fries and I will be abstaining from those heavy carbs...)

****************************************
And................
In the small garden square off of our back deck....

My hydrangea has forgiven the severe haircut I gave her last Fall
;)))) and appears to be ready to bloom...

She and my bleeding hearts and a few ferns share this semi-shady spot...

She is H U G E 

that white fencing is our deck border---when in bloom she will reach much
higher than that even...Can't wait to see those big blowsey blossoms...

and the ferns appreciate  this shaded spot....

As you can see by the little drops of water we had a light sprinkle 
the other day..

Our glass topped round table on the deck had little spots of water for a while...

Not even 1/4 an inch though..
so I have been hand watering pretty much...

Especially this big girl, that is not blooming yet...
It's been years since she's set
any buds--
so I've forgotten what color they'll be....

My darkest daylily has bloomed--it has many bracts and they are 
loaded with buds...she is the extrovert of them all...sashaying around 
my front
walk...;)))

I hope your Sunday is a restful and quiet one...
hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (scrap-diving-euse)
