Too Pooped to think of a Title

As soon as I got home from work today I watered my plants. While doing so, I admired the pink 'Park Princess' dahlia next to the blue of the ageratum. Wouldn't that be pretty in a bouquet? I thought.

The next thing you know I had my scissors and I flitted about the deck clipping here and there until I had enough flowers to fill this small wooden toolbox.

I had to wander off the deck into the nearly-dead main gardens to find something white. I found a few very small phlox that worked nicely.

I decided to place it on the china cabinet.

Since I was already in the bouquet-making mode, I decided I might as well throw a little something together with the B.-eyed Susans. I thought this depression era goldish yellow pedestal bowl would make a nice container.

And it did. Here is the bouquet on my dining room table.
My favorite thing about the bouquet is this....

As an accent, I used one branch of my tiny green tomatoes!

After I was done playing florist, I decided to finish the border blocks for the animal quilt. I had thought about the corner blocks all day today and I was excited to try out what I had decided to do.

I guess the corners are hard to see here unless you click to make it bigger, but I am very happy with it. It worked exactly as I saw it in my mind's eye. It's always a good thing when that happens! Now I just have to sew them all together and then sew the borders on the quilt. That will be another day. I've been on the go since 5:00 a.m. so the only thing I am doing for the remainder of the night is check my email and read a blog or two.
