Busy Summer

The boy graduated from Pre-K, started swimming lessons and resumed piano lessons. Busy, busy, busy. The garden looks awful. I think there is lettuce amongst the weeds. Someday I'll get back to sewing.

Blooming Apple Trees

The feral apple trees are blooming. Some day I would like to rehab them and get some apples from them.

It's Official

Spring is here. I heard the peepers last night.

Crazy Quilt folder

I actually had to had sew the entire binding.

Spring wonderings and update on Resolutions

I finished a bed sized quilt. Next I want to make a quilt with fewer flaws. I may take a stab at hand quilting again on something larger than a doll's quilt. A wall hanging perhaps.

I've been reading up on the Amish in order to get some of my homesteader mojo back. Most everything I read has a decidedly positive or negative slant. I guess there is lots of variation in Amish communities and even in families.

The garden is going to have to dry out a lot more and then I'll put in peas and lettuce. I pick up blueberry plants April 16.

Time to order chicks!

Spring

It's really warm. The snow is melting fast making everything soggy. Days of rain did not help.

I saw my first Red Winged Blackbird of the season yesterday!

Spring

Saw my first Killdeer today. We've also been seeing geese recently.
