Summertime....

Now that the weather actually feels like summer, here are some summer pics from my house....

My pretty peonies. I love peonies - they are so stunning. These are the three (yes, only three) that grew on my poeny bush this year. It's only the second year, so hopefully next year there will be more!

Also, look what we have outside our kitchen window....

(It's blurry because of the window screen.) As far as we can tell, there are three hummingbirds that come around. It's so much fun to watch them compete for the food - even thought there are four spots to eat from , they get very territorial and don't let others come around when they are eating there.

Also, the other day, I forgot to post this show and tell item:

Heather, from St. Louis, stopped in. She and her husband do so when they come to visit family. This is her scarf made from her own hand spun cotton yarn. So pretty and wonderfully soft!
