Working

Remember these beautiful angel trumpets from last year?

This is what's left of the yellow one now, and I was mighty happy to see even those leaves showing!

Because this and three or four other cans just like it are all that's left of the two pink ones.

Here's Mr. Cutie Pie clearing out all the dead ginger lilies. They'll come back, for sure, but it looks pretty naked out there without them for a privacy screen in the back yard.

Here's another little sign of Spring - flower buds on the blackberry vines. The little blueberry bushes have some buds, too.

Our lemon tree is still alive, but it's lost most of its leaves. Fingers crossed that it will come back with more lemons this year!

The Carolina Jessamine near the front door looks pretty happy, though, doesn't it?


And these guys are our new neighbors. (The people haven't changed, just some added pets!) They are the sweetest dogs, and so friendly. I like them.

I had an "aha" moment the other day. I ran across a quilt pattern called "Grandma's Favorite Quilt Block Pattern". It just adds a framework of squares to the pinwheels blocks I'd already started.

I'm very happy with the addition! This is just four of the completed blocks. I laid them out on the bed to get an idea how they'd look.

What do you think?

Hope everything is going well in your world!

Hugs and kisses,
