The climbing flowering plant out on the roof garden is really displaying some gorgeous blossoms! Today we we asked and the gardener told us it’s allamanda. We have had one of those on the roof garden every year for the past 3 or 4 years and they seem to last well into the fall. The colour is amazingly vibrant!

Here’s a close-up of some of the flowers.

These lobelia have now been planted along the edges of the flower beds and under the trees.
The blue and white star top is getting very close to finished. A few more half stars need to be added along the edges and then it will be done. The decision now is whether to put a border on it or not. At the size it is now it’s quite acceptable as a lap quilt. With a border it will also be fine as a lap quilt. If I do add a border it will be in the same blue fabric.

I’m leaning towards no border as I love the look of old quilts that just seem to stop at the binding but, on the other hand, I also love the finished look of those with borders! Decisions!! Any input??

The heat has broken. Monday night we had the most incredible thunderstorm. I like thunderstorms but this one had me a bit nervous. The lightning was almost non-stop and the thunder was unbelievably loud. Incredibly loud. It actually woke us up. The claps of thunder were so huge that one could feel the vibration. The kitties? The kitties weren’t the least bit perturbed.

It’s moderate today, with a high around 75. They say the heat and humidity will be back on Friday.

Lester doesn’t seem to mind what the weather does. He finds spots to curl up and have a snooze.
