Discoveries from From the Strawberry Patch...

It's been a weekend of discoveries just outside the door. These precious little pink blooms appeared on the top of a lemon-scented geranium that I planted in a pot out on the patio.

Louisiana's heat pays off and two stinkers from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories
