Hyper-Busy Summer

Has everyone become as busy as me? Summer is a wonderful time of warm weather, weddings, running around and getting stuff done. I am very caught up in the winds of summer right now. Attending weddings, making wedding cakes, making quilts for work and gifts, and shows along with my regular work have taken over my life. I look forward to a breath of air but don't know if I'd know what to with it. I am now on hyper-speed trying to get it all done and still falling behind. So with that being said, I'm going to get off the computer and get back to work. I hope everyone is enjoying the glorious weather and summer flowers as much as I am.

Summer in the Highlands

I was gifted with a most peaceful morning after weeks of life excitement. When I woke this morning, it was unusually foggy. It always reminds me of the Highlands. Anyway, I sat by the wood stove and did the blind stitching on a quilt over my morning cup of coffee. I'm telling you, there is nothing sweeter than a few moments of peaceful fireside work.
I had to share this photo. It is of my cute little cupid statue - he might be the only non-functional gift my husband has ever given me. He has a great purpose though. He oversees my little 9,100' garden. Those pansies blooming at his feet have overwintered here twice. This photo was taken just a few days after the snow finally melted this year. My pansy was ready to bloom immediately. Mountainjoy is truly a special place. Summer is in full swing here with the columbines and paintbrush vying for glory. The beautiful beard's tongue is beginning to bloom and I've got a few orchids on the property.
Happy Summer and Happy Independence Day.
