came upon something that took my breath.
Let me back up a little. This time of year is a struggle for me. You see I love to
garden as much as I love to quilt. I was a Master Gardener before I was a
quilter. I am trying to bring back my garden . For about 2 years I was unable
to take care of it. If you read my profile you will know why.
Quilt Guild is out for the summer. So I am trying to work on UFO's and my
garden calls to me.
Lets get back to the word Perfection. As far as quilting the Amish said it best,
they always allow mistakes in their quilts because only GOD can create
anything perfect. That saying always makes me feel better about my
quilts.
Back to the garden, I was ( call it piddling ) in my garden, pulling weeds,
watering and then I turned around and a brand new Lotus bloom caught my
eye. I have a big water barrel of Lotus and also some dwarf lotus. I love water
plants. The bloom was beautiful so perfect. The down side of some blooms,
they dont last long. It was in full bloom, I went inside to get my camera. By the
time I came back out it was closing up. Oh no !!! I missed perfection.
GOD gives and takes away. When this bloom is fully open it will take you
breath.
My other love, my Myers Lemon tree. It has 4 lemons and more blooms.
As it starts getting hotter in Georgia my sewing room will be nice and cool.
Next post I should have some finished projects to show.
