T Stands for Tuesday

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to this week's T with our hostess Bleubeard and Elizabeth. Friends gather together with a drink related photo-link in my sidebar.

 How has your week been?  We ended up with two days of summer on Friday and Saturday. Mid 80's f both days but it came with strong winds-so no burning for me-I have lots of that to do, or much weeding either do to allergies running crazy outdoors with the winds. It was beautiful though and we enjoyed sitting on the deck with friends.

  These were good friends from near our woods property and they came out to visit and to do some fishing. It was a bit early for catching crappie, but it was good to be able to just sit and talk with friends. We are very isolated here.

  I did finish cleaning and organizing my craft room, listed books in my Etsy shop, and found hand dyed blouses with annatto that I will be listing and also "vintage" hand knitted sweaters that my Mom made us girls when we were very young. They are too nice to take to a resale shop. I posted a video here  of my craft room This is a much much smaller room than I had before but I was not leaving anything behind just yet-smiles. Many of you have seen this when I first moved to the lake.

  Saturday evening I sat down for a watercolor practice, and Sunday morning I finished it.  I did the squirrel first and then looked in the book for more trees, added stamped acorns.  I used inks and watercolors.

 This was fun using watercolors, watercolor inks, and a stamp  I will fold this one in half and use it for slow mail I would like to try the squirrel again.

  I grabbed the camera Saturday when I went to check the mailbox, the redbuds are almost finished with flowering and I hadn't grabbed a photo yet-it's been raining here most every day for a couple of weeks.

  Lilacs Just started blooming

The creeping phlox-an animal took the third plant,  wish I would have bought two tubs of these-really nice older plants.

   I was so thrilled to see this iris blooming-it came from my Mom's garden, they are short and will bloom spring and fall. Didn't know if they would make it, all the bulbs I brought over the woods home a couple years ago are growing good this year-loving all the rain.

 

   For my beverage share I grabbed this decaf coffee like tea.  and I grabbed this handmade pottery cup from the cabinet, one I bought a few years ago at Fiber U-Large but light weight.

Early sunrise

Happy T and enjoy your new week
