Hats for Solomon's Porch

I have just finished these 15 hats for a teen center in Leavenworth WA named Solomon's Porch.

Two are made with the loom and the rest are crocheted. I hope the kids like them.

My Pretty Little Girl

I am so proud of my little Molly for keeping her bow in her hair. It actually stayed in overnight. Then I did her a favor and took it out. I know she didn't like it.

She loves that little birdie tail from a neighbor dog's toy. Lady Bug, who is no longer with us. Lady was my grand doggie.

More Fragrance

Ummm, Honeysuckle growing in the azaleas. I wouldn't let Jerry pull them out because the fragrance is so wonderful. So now when we sit out at the camper it will smell sooo good.

4'oclocks get closer to blooming and wow, will they be pretty and so fragrant. Should be really soon.

Signs of Summer

Cone flowers sucking up rain water. These pretty little things will soon be leaving the area. Reserved for my 4'oclocks. Can't you tell what my favorite flower is?

Blooming

This is the next day. The rain got soaked up by their thirsty roots.

My 4 o'clocks are blooming and ohhhh do they smell good.

4 O'CLOCKS

My favorite flower is ready to bloom and the wonderful thing about this one is that is will bloom every evening around 4 o'clock; hence the name 4 o'clocks.

I remember growing up in PA and my parents had these very fragrant flowers planted in front of our picture window that opened on the sides. When the windows where open the fragrance was fabulous. They made the most beautiful and colorful hedge in front of the house. And they are annuals and spread like wildflowers.
