Flowers v Cicadas


 Ugh, the cicadas, they are awful.  They dive bomb the car windshield, fly into the windows and screens and my hair!  I sweep the deck and the garage daily to remove them.  They are on the trees, shrubs and flowers.



The flowers seem as determined to bloom as the cicadas seem on mating.  



The hydrangea is as determined  as the cicadas.  Last year due to the flash freeze, the hydrangea hardly bloomed.  It is making up for lost time.



The daylilies are just beginning to bloom.  We’ve had lots of rain and lots of rain brings lots of weeds.  My Memorial Day weekend will be spent in the garden weeding and trying my best to avoid the dive bomb attacks of the cicadas.

Coming Together

 

It’s finally starting to come together.  This poor quilt has been shoved to the back burner so many times, I’m sure it thinks it is never going to get finished.



Inspired by a quilt I saw at an antiques show, I saw an opportunity to sew from stash and save some $$$’s. 



Rain showers and cicadas have driven me indoors but provided an opportunity to finally complete this quilt and move on to the next project.
