The Sick Girl Makes Stuff

Ugh. Still sick. I slept all morning. I never do that.

In the afternoon I took a book out to the backyard with me and sat for awhile in the sun. Normally, that is not something I enjoy - reading in the sun. I'm a shade person. But, it was nice.

While I was out there I heard a commotion and looked up to see a hawk being chased overhead by several pair of angry small birds.

So the hawk is still around. I hadn't seen it for awhile.

Before I went back inside, I checked on my peony plants. They are coming along nicely.

Next to the peonies were the remaining stems from last years purple balloon flowers.

Hmm. Looking at them gave me an idea.

Perfect stems for gluing on red pompoms, don't you think?

Not sure if I'll leave them in the kitchen, but for now, that's where they are.

So unbelievably simple. You should try it!
