You must be quite an accomplished seamstress to be able to alter jeans. Never have I been able to master those sorts of repairs. Straight seams yes. Anything else, nope. This year does seem to be flying by at an alarming pace. I want to enjoy the seasons completely not watch them run away from me. :-)<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-10583230603192962922015-05-30T15:48:55.007-05:002015-05-30T15:48:55.007-05:00Beautiful photos as always.

I think it's quite prolific in parts of Idaho. <br />Altering your jeans is a streak of genius. (I nearly typed altering your genes..) Good for you.<br />What have I been doing? Spending hours trying to get Marigold my White rotary sewing machine to behave. Granted, she's around 100 years old, but I keep telling her that's no excuse. I am hoping the sewing machine repair man makes house calls. Ha, I bet not!ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245099394863979981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-24011470308514446652015-05-30T13:24:12.607-05:002015-05-30T13:24:12.607-05:00Cherry Focacia.??

There are a lot of irrigation ditches throughout the valley I grew up in. The ditch banks were home to lots of asparagus.

And best I can tell 7 little goslings following in pursuit of their parent.<br />Nature endows us with such wonders it is great that you can wander about them while out for a ride.<br />The flowers are so gorgeous too. And I do hope that Autumn though I love it is at least a few months away.<br />Have a great weekend.<br />Susan xSusan McShannon-Monteithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525642217533620081noreply@blogger.com
