Stitching in the Sun

We finally had some rain which took care of some of the pollen.  Today is beautiful - not too hot but the sun feels warm.  Here's my stitching chair outside.  What you can't get from the picture is the wonderful light breeze and the scent from the roses blooming in the yard.  This is bliss.

How cute is this!

This is Sandy The Summer Witch from Brooke's Books. She goes with Sadie Spring and Annie Autumn and she is definitely on my stitching list for this summer.

We really need a big thunderstorm. Not only because it would cool things off (it's 92F right now), but also because it might wash away some of the pollen.  It is absolutely amazing how much pollen is covering everything.  I really want to stitch outside but I'm afraid the pollen would stain anything that I bring outside with me.  

Off to do my rain dance.  You should see my thunder and lightning dance.  Actually, no, you probably shouldn't.
