As for quilting this week, I'm working on several quilts for a gal who will be part of a studio tour this fall. Stay tuned for pics later this week (?).

As I suspected, my math is off. There should still be 2 in the fridge. Do you think maybe DH disposed of them when I wasn't looking? Nah, he wouldn't dare. Would he?
I spent yesterday morning in the garden dealing with the cilantro. I started a few plants in the spring and planted them out there, not knowing that cilantro will self seed if you are a messy gardener like me. Last year's crop went to seed and I think all 85 billion seeds grew. I'm always saying that I love cilantro so much I could roll around in it - well this year I had enough that I COULD roll around in it. So I hacked and chopped and pulled plants out and spread it around as mulch (see? messy.) and discovered a pepper plant in the midst. Then DH pounded in stakes for the tomatoes and got those all tied up, so I think everybody is happy now. There are flea beetles eating my cabbage plants. This year I am trying insecticidal soap (organic, ya know?). Maybe I'll have nice foamy coleslaw this fall. har har. yuck It will be a few days before I can see if it's helping.
I got the best laugh of the day with the foamy coleslaw Helen!
