Aaaahhhh yes...finally

Finally true signs that the season is changing, if a bit slowly.

Maple tree in bloom.
It hums as you pass under it as it is FULL of honey bees!!

A small clump of jonquils trying to bloom too.
Yes that shadow is me..ain't I cute...;-)

My border mania continues!!!
These two are my kinda/sorta humble homage to the 'Irish Chain' quilts.
You can't see the white strip between them and the pinwheels but it is there.
So stay tuned who knows what is next!

Today DH is taking a 'mental' health day... yeah right...;-)
Anyway we will be outside working.
DH gardening.. me painting or I hope so anyway!
We are warming up here but with it is coming rain.
So got to make hay while the sun shines don'tcha know!!

  1. That is a ray of hope to see a daffodil starting to bloom. Mine have poked through the ground and a few tight buds but no color showing yet.

  5. I'm liking your green and white border on your pinwheel quilt AND your signs of spring. Tried to comment earlier and it didn't look like it took...so am commenting again. If both take, you'll have two comments from me...what a lucky day for you....LOL Hope the warm weather stays as they say it will..even with the upcoming rain.

  12. We are having rain today, but yesterday was gorgeous. I even opened the windows to let some warm air flow through. I think we are all ready for Spring.

  13. I just love the thought that this winter is almost past! I long to see sunshine and warmth outside! When my dogwoods begin to bloom I will believe it is near.
