Glorious Morning Glories

As things start to die back in the yard, the morning glories are splendid. These big blue ones are my favorites. Each morning it's fun to go check out how many are blooming. So far, each day has yielded more and more. It's enough to take your breath away today.





We've got a bushel of tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter awaiting canning. I've already put up a batch of tomatoes and dill pickles.

I've also got some ear cone orders to fill, customers to call and paperwork before we can get to the tomatoes.
My youngest son moved into his own apartment yesterday. He's so excited and I'm excited for him yet partly sad, too. I'll miss having him around regularly.






I've finished knitting both my bag experiment and the bramble bag. Now it's all about the finishing work. Experimental bag needs the dowels cut and painted, liner made, and straps assembled. The bramble bag is going to be blocked today. For some reason it came out somewhat crooked, but I think it will improve with blocking. We'll see. I'm not crazy about the lining fabric I picked out for that bag, so a trip to JoAnn's might be in order for tonight. Oh yes, tonight....I think that Heroes is coming back on the air tonight. Last season that was a weekly event around here.

Enjoy the photos. Enjoy the day.

Your morning glories are so pretty. I am seeing more and more of them in people's yards and I have to laugh because growing up my Grandma hated them - they grew wild like a weed and she used to have us rip them out before they choked out the plants around her pond! I love how the light shines through the cone of the flower.
