Garden Varieties

Here are 2 pictures I took while we were driving back from Iowa the other week. Don't the clouds look ominous?
Here are my first tomatoes!
Here are a sampling of some flowers from my garden:

My latest achievement: sewing with elastic thread. Success!
By the way, I posted a blog before Andrew's anniversary video that many of you may have missed.

The clouds do look ominous. Cumulonimbus? I'll have to show Sadie-- she learned about clouds this year.
Love seeing your garden and sewing projects. I, too, tried smocking this week. I think I used too thick of a fabric, because it didn't rucnh quite enough, the dress down below wasn't roomy enough.

Clouds have always been so fascinating to me, and those are great photos. Lovely flowers, too. I am really going to have to try this sewing with elastic. Do you wind the bobbin by hand, then sew with regular thread on top?
