New Afghan for Who?

So I finished a new afghan the other day and decided to measure it to the size of my bed. It looked pretty good so I walked back to the other room to get my scissor and tie off the blanket. I was gone about 45 seconds and here is Hector with a ruffled up afghan pretending to be sound asleep. Really?? In about 45 seconds??? On his back with his tongue hanging out. I guess this will be someone else's new afghan.

Tagged!!!

I was pulling out of my driveway yesterday and noticed that little sign that makes me oh so very happy. I was tagged for a "Buffalo in Bloom" garden. This makes all my digging worth while.

Here are a few updated flower and garden photos as well.

 I added this totem/planter to the front yard to cover a bald spot

 My "overflow" area is filling in nicely with the extra tomato plants that came up wild from last year. I tried not to plant too much in the ground since the utility company has yet to come and remove the old pole on the right.

McKinly High School Begonias are started to fill up the rock garden too. This started out as a spot to cover up the ugly area on the side of the garage. That area is filled  almost completely with Hostas now too. Yeah!! No more weeding back there, just my compost bin and some hiding spots for bunnies.

Daylily Road Trip

Two days ago I went to a daylily farm with 2 friends in Medina, NY. I was told by some people from the daylily society this was the place to go. I looked up "Cottage Gardens" online and saw they had over 2000 kinds of daylilies. I was not disappointed. The prices ranged from $5 - $200. The ones I purchased only ranged from $5 - $10.

I bought 1 Southern Coral and 1 Bologongo to go in the backyard circle with my Irises

                                 I got 2 Matchmaking Miss to plant on either side of my arbor

           I bought 3 Eric Junior to plant in the circles by the side of my house

Kathleen got a few free clippings from that giant Scottish Thistle you see in the background. This is 1 year old. I was too afraid to take any.

Here is the young worker bee digging up my purchases

Kathleen and Angel taking a nice shady break. It has been in the 90s without any rain for awhile now
