This is a "goose neck", a gift from our neighbor Sandy, last year. It is really doing great this year. Here's a closeup:

It was a lazy day. Pulling weeds and such. Discovered the neighbor is housing a family of raccoons under their deck. Add them to the list: raccoons, skunks, RABBITS, squirrels and chipmunks. It's a wonder we have any plants left. It's a battle everyday.

Anita continues to proofread, over and over and over, her new book "Teens & Tweens, Quilting Fun with Family & Friends". It goes back to the editor at American Quilter's Society in Paducah, KY, on Monday, if she can let go of it. This book was co-authored with daughter Jennifer Perdue. Will try to post pictures of our grandkids from the book soon.

Till then.....
