Another picture of our brugmansia


Here is a better picture of one of the brugmansia blooms. I just love it. It is the color of fall pumpkins.

Layne's camo hat



Layne's camo hat
I know this is not loomed but needled and I wanted to show my son's camo hat.
It is being modeled by Ted.
This was made with Paton's Classic Wool color: Forest. The only thing is it won't puddle (pool) for me. Now that they have yarns that are self striping, of course, I want it to puddle.

Our Brugmansia
This is a new plant for us to grow. My daughter gave us about 3" of a stem for Christmas last year and this was what we got this summer. It is called Brugsmansia. They are cultivars of many colors, pink, yellow but mine was pumpkin orange. I love it. It is not hardy in my area so we will have to protect it over the winter. It is a relative to the Datura or Jimson Weed.






Have you checked your neighbors lately?

Ted took this picture a couple of miles away from home.
I started to laugh so hard that we had to backtrack about a mile for him to shoot this photo.
What a greeting committee this would be!!
