Spring Blooms and Pink Mountains


The porch railing will soon be covered with the pretty clematis!
Doing so wonderful this year.
The shrubs too are so full and bright.
Been told it was helped by the wet Winter.
Humm ...well nice that something good came from all that mess!
We had a lovely soft Spring rain yesterday.
We needed it. Was dry but also to settle down some of the pollen.
Hope to plant the two Knockout Roses Saturday.
Easier digging with damp soil!

I have strawberries!!!
Yes I counted eight!
Now if I pick them regularly should have them all summer.
What I was told at the green house when I bought them.
We shall see.

They are in this large pot by the door.
They get morning sun and shade from late afternoon heat.

Say hello to My Pink Spring Mountains!
Yes this is the next PAP (put aside project) pulled from the pile to be finished.
It will not be a full/queen as intended though.
Making it somewhere between a twin and a lap.
I am calling this my 'reading quilt'.
Yes.. all my quilts receive a job title!
Just the way we do it around here.;-)

  4. So many good things in this post, Lola. The Spring rain, the flowers, the strawberries (yum) and that beautiful pink quilt. I'm sure it will take it's lap duties seriously and bring you much sit-and-read pleasure.

  8. I love the idea of a "purpose" name for each quilt!!! and pink and white are my favorite colors--so if this one does not work out for a reading quilt--you can just send it my way!!!!
    Hugs, Di

  10. Ooooh, strawberries. I'm so jealous. We haven't been able to plant much yet because we are still getting freezing temperatures at night.

    Your pink quilt is pretty.
