It took most of the day but the Star Trek baby quilt top is built. In a couple of days when the batting and backing come in I will start handquilting. #quilting #startrek #astronaut #babyquilt #gift

Nobody panic! I cannot find my favorite thimble. It’s not in my sewing box and not in the pocket of the jeans I was wearing last night. I’m sad. I have other thimbles but they do not feel like my favorite. :(

Here is my quilt progress. I’m going to put a couple of baby color borders around the edge of the quilt. and a ship and moon will go in the center. I will put curved banisters where the straight banisters are but I didn’t have a curved ruler. #quilting

Don’t know what variety pit this is how they grow

This guy is on my tomato plant this morning. That is a tomato #hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata) or close hornworm relative. those white rice-looking things. Those are parasitoid wasp cocoons, #braconidwasp. The wasp larvae develop in the caterpillar, emerged, and spun white cocoons on its body

That is a tomato #hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata) or a very close hornworm relative. The big green body, diagonal pale markings along the sides, and the little “horn” at the rear are classic hornworm features.

But the really interesting part is all those white rice-looking things. Those are parasitoid wasp cocoons, most likely from a #braconidwasp. 😳 The wasp larvae developed inside the caterpillar, emerged, and spun those little white cocoons on its body.

Waited all summer for #tomatoes to grow and now there are three different kinds trying to grow.

My garden did not produce much. I think I have grown a handful of beans, 1 banana pepper, 2 bell peppers, 1 tomato and now 1 cucumber. Everybody admire the beauty. #cucumber
