The garden is coming more alive with more daffodils making an appearance. I don't have as many as I usually do, so I have to be happy with what does bloom. These are yellow cups and petals, such a delicate color. But they got a little bedraggled in the wind that has been blowing lately. …

Warmer days have brought out some of the flowers on our property. The daffodils are just coming out, but I do not think their bloom production will be good this year. I forgot to fertilize them last fall, and they don't have enough phosphorus stored in the bulbs. The largest bed usually has a lot …
March in the Garden
As we deal with the blasted time change yet again, I thought it would be nice to take a quiet walk in the garden to soothe the irritation changing to daylight savings time. I know everyone else likes the light in the evening, but it is going to do that anyway in a few more …
February In the Garden
My mind has been on my garden for a few days now, as I observe some green shoots coming to life again. The little patch of daffodils is coming up, with buds already showing. This patch is a mixture of all yellow daffodils and some yellow and white ones. They usually bloom in late February, …
Gardening, Quilting, and a few more things
With all the posts I have this month set to be quilt alongs, Stashbusters, Safelight project, and more, Sundays are the only time to catch up on everything else. Go get another cuppa (of whatever your cup contains in the morning) and settle in for a long, chatty and picture heavy post. This warm weather …
Gardening, Quilting and Painting Fun
It's been a busy week, with something going on every day. It hasn't left a lot of time for sewing on my own projects, but I have made good progress on a free quilt along I've designed just for you coming in March for National Quilting Month - more on that below. I also took …
First Day of Spring
It is going to be busy, busy for several more weeks, so it is important to take a moment to breathe, and find some calm and peace. For me, the early morning when the dawn light softly lights the fog across the valley, settling in the layers between the hills is quiet time. Birdsong delights …
March in the Garden
Spring is well on the way, and the garden has come alive with daffodils. I have several spots where I planted groups of daffodils, with different varieties in each place. Some are along the driveway and in the island on the circle in front of our home. These came up this past week and bloomed. …
Rainy Days and Scrap Dancing Fun
It has been another week of appointments and meetings, with little to show. Last night it was raining and this morning was foggy when I awoke. The clouds are supposed to lift later and warm up a bit. It was a dreary dawn, but I do love the layers that appear when the fog settles …
Sunday Chat
We were housebound for four days this past week, which meant a lot of projects were either finished or new ones begun. A few Zoom calls took up a bit of time, and I got a bit more progress on the epic historical novel I'm currently reading. Just before the snow started, I got this …
