More things are beginning to bloom, but we still have not passed our last frost date of May 15th. I am really eager now to get the planting started. So much so that I went by Raymonds Garden Center to get my torenias, and Christine told me to wait and pick them up in another …

Mad Hatter Quilt
I am working on two secret projects I cannot share yet, the Scrap Dance Mystery (part 2 will be Thursday) and my new pattern. I am working on the last binding, then there will be photographs to take, and the pattern to finalize. So in the meantime, I thought you'd like to see a quilt …
Ham Dinner and a Ham Casserole
I would imagine that many of us are serving a baked ham today, moist and delicious!! I bake mine a bit differently using my slow cooker sometimes or a parchment cover in the oven, slow cooking for 30 minutes per pound at 250 degrees. I used to use paper bags from the grocery store, but …
Dinosaur Eggs for Easter – a healthy alternative
I really enjoy doing silly stuff for the ladies that I work with. For years I have done candy and sweets for various holidays, but with the staff we have now, one of the girls is diabetic. I certainly cannot add to her difficulties with her diet by giving her sweets. She is struggling hard …

Re-blooming Amaryllis
Waiting for this amaryllis to bloom again has been a real exercise in patience. Remember it was January that I showed you the beginning. Get ready, this post is picture heavy!! This was early January. Just a couple of new shoots of leaves coming alive. It took until late February for the bud to show. …
March in the Garden
It is finally getting warmer, but we are not out of the possibility of a freeze. Although this year that seems unlikely, I have seen snow on Easter Sunday in April in years past. So, I won't be jumping the season by planting outside just yet, but there are a few things in the garden …
Springtime Cards and Two Little Words
Lovely warm spring, this time of year is just so inspiring. It brings out more creativity. I am just obsessed with yellow right now. For some reason it is saying spring is here!! It seems the right time to be grateful for many things. Do you know what those important two little words are? Thank …
