Greens

Congratulations to Tina, the winner of the little camera bag give-away. I'll be contacting you for your address, and thanks to everyone who commented.


The thrift store in the shopping center down the street has numerous goodies, and my favorite aisle is the one with curtains, sheets, and other linens. I've been experimenting dyeing cotton sheets, which provide yards of fabric at minimal cost and also some background interest. The sheet with the now-green gradations was pretty dismal, tired beige with scattered leaves. I've been wanting to do some purple dyeing, but think I'll use a different sheet - this particular one was meant to be green.

I'm not a careful gardener, with nicely drawn plans and a journal to carry over from one year to the next. I like the surprises that come from last year's scattered seeds and this year's too, for that matter. Looks like some dill is coming up with these flowers in a spot where I would have guessed it would be hard to get anything to grow, between sidewalk and steps. Makes me smile.
