Still Pinching Myself



Last night, while driving home, I was so surprised to see so many people dining outside!  With weather in the 70s it made perfect sense--until you looked at the calendar!


Tonight I spent a fair amount of time dodging frogs in the road!  It just doesn't seem possible.


Spent some time outside today trimming off the butterfly bushes and the hops vines.  I have bleeding hearts out of the ground and my Joseph's Coat rose bush is coming up from the root (it did nothing last year and I figured it was dead).


Nothing very exciting to report.  I was actually reduced to running my beloved Dyson today.  With the windows wide open and a wonderful breeze to freshen the house.


That's really enough babbling for now.  Until next time,


Blissful hugs,
Sharon


P.S.  I am reading Spider's Web by Earlene Fowler and listening to V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton.


P.P.S.  Laurie, remember you said you'd have the new leaders on the next time I saw you!

Look, Up in the Sky...

What an absolutely beautiful day.  I had to keep looking at the calendar to be sure it really was only March 13.  I saw my first bluebird today, and another flock of robins.  Spent some time cleaning out birdhouses and checking out the bulbs pushing leaves out of the ground.  

Here are some shots of the sunset.




And a test...what do you see?  I think it's a fluffy pink bunny!  I rarely "see" things in cloud formations, but this one was too good to pass up!  Perhaps it's an omen for a rabbit-filled summer!




And, no surprise, Rose did not look at the blog, so her little something was a surprise to her.  And she loved it.


I've made binding for 5 wallhangings and runners today.  With just one block left to finish on my purple Green Thumb applique, I will be pushing the pedal to the metal in an attempt to get that finished this week.  The pink version?  Well, that needs a bit more work.


I'm off to dreamland for a bit.  More soon.


Hugs,
Sharon
