I had planned to do blocks 11 and 12 for my One Monthly Goal for June. Yep, you guessed it. I had already sewn block 11. Old age and a foggy brain made this goal a lot easier....giggle.

That's good, because I haven't been in my sewing room for days.

A few photos from my week.
Momma bird is not happy with the lack of water. No room for splashing around.
Texas heat dries it up quickly. All is good now, and the birdbath is cleaned and filled.
Outside air conditioning.
Nothing cuter than a Mexican or Aztec Dove. I can't tell the difference.
They always seem so happy and love to visit.
A little of our crop from our bucket garden.
The plants are some varieties of tomatoes shared with us by our great friend Ed.
Does anyone know what causes the cracks in the top left tomato?
My Sweet Daughter picked this cute pattern and the fabric out for her.
I've just started on this one.
Here are a couple of the leaves.

Sweet Goodies from Shelley.
The perfect size coffee cup!!
Thanks!!!

We had a couple of visitors.
He comes for water, but never gets very close. Took these from the window.
This bad boy will not be coming back. We do kill the venomous snakes. We have enough without them reproducing. Upsets some of the neighbors. I ask what do you do with them. One said he takes them across the street. Hey, that's where I live....hmmm

The man and his first peppers this season.

Most of the things I like to do are sitting....quilting, reading, and the computer.
I'm trying out a new hobby to get me up on my feet.
It's really kind of fun and at least I'm moving around.
Dehydrating some veggies. Not sure what I'll do with them, maybe in a soup.
I did some apples, but Mick eats those right away.
He did some jerky with the packs that came with the dehydrator, but it was pretty salty. If anyone has a good recipe for jerky, please share.
and to add the white border to Spring on Bleecker Street. Since I don't have enough fabric, I need to figure out what to do for the outer colored border.
