It's been too hot for me to think about a new project so I'll just continue sewing these squares for Broken Dishes blocks.
With all that I sewed yesterday and Thursday, I have plenty to start sewing into blocks. I pressed all of them so I would be ready for assembly last night and today. I sewed 32 blocks last night and added them to the 39 already sewn. They are 6" blocks.
I watered the tomato plants and then went to the front garden and watered the bushes. This is the Zinfin Doll Hydrangea finally starting to bloom. They will go from this green to white, then pink and lastly a raspberry color towards fall.
The Black-eyed Susan plants don't mind the hot sun. These are the first blooms.
The second plant had a few blooms too. These photos were taken in the bright sun so the greens have a yellow-green cast.
This Hosta that gets shade the earliest is still looking good, with many blooms.
I watch the weather on 2 different channels, WGN and ABC. One says it will be 82 Monday and no 90s predicted for the rest of next week. The other says 86 Monday and 90 both Tuesday and Wednesday. How can they interpret it so differently?

Hugs, Julierose
when it gets that hot doesn't much matter...90s all week here...ugh
Your plants still look pretty happy! I need to water today. There has been rain all around us but very little here. Then in central Texas they are having devastating flooding, so sad.
Glad you mentioned the size of the blocks…….in my mind I was thinking they were 3”. There are so many varieties of hydrangea. It will be fun watching your’s change color into fall.
the blocks gather up quickly when you make 20-30 some a day. Before you know it enough will be made to put together. It is hot here too and of course now we need rain.
It is hot and humid here. The bugs are awful. It doesn't matter if I am out there early in the morning or in the evening, the bugs are awful!
Our black eyed Susans are also starting to bloom. Clear today and tomorrow and then 40-ish percent chance of rain every day for the rest of next week (with very little amount-wise predicted). Good time of year to stay in and sew!
Love your colorful HSTs! You're so right that it's hard to be creative when it's just too hot.
We're to be in the mid-80s*F to 90*F this week with rain likely from tomorrow all the way to Friday. Glub, glub! The weeds will be as high as an elephant's eye! Today the air "Is not safe for sensitive people". What is that about?
Hugs!
I remember quite a while back, maybe 10-ish years?, the weather guy said about an approaching storm system - "we've run the numbers through 6 different computer modeling softwares and all came up with totally different outcomes. We have no idea what is coming our way." Then he(?) proceeded to give his own best guess. It was quite refreshing (and funny) to hear him admit his forecast was a guess. Sadly, I don't remember if his forecast was correct. So, I'm thinking the difference is outlooks is which modeling software is used.
Not as hot here, but still too hot for me to be out long. Everything is growing like crazy but the Japanese beetles have struck and I am doing battle picking them off.
I check our weather on yr.no, and it seems to be accurate every day.
