The End of August

It's been a funny month, weather-wise: cooler than normal. It feels more like September than August, so I wonder what next month has in store. Summertime is waning, and the students return to school next week.
In my garden this week:

This furry visitor didn't seem at all interested in my flowers or the lettuce, but did nibble away at the weeds growing along the garden edge.

I'm still stitching items that can't be shown, but here's the stitched sample for my project which was accepted as one of the July HEX LABS designs for StitchMAP. It was great fun creating and stitching the design, but challenging in writing it up in the proper format. Still, it feels good to be learning new and different skills
This butterfly has organza wings.

 A big boom drew me to the art room window last night to see what was happening.

Fireworks!

I was able to catch some interesting shots with my little camera.

Only the ones high enough to pass the tall trees in our backyard were seen.

 Looks like a jellyfish

Isn't it interesting what the camera sees compared to the human eye?

















Sharing a Blog Post
I am blessed and have a good life, having all my needs met. But some people are not as lucky as I have been. My heart cries, especially when those in need are little children. If you have a too-big stash, and would like to find a new home for your treasures, or if you are down-sizing and need to empty your shelves, perhaps you might consider giving to the children in Africa.
You'll find all the information here on Vicki's blog. I hope you'll be able to help. Thank you.
May you have a wonderful week ahead!

Thanks for visiting.
