SPRING IS HERE

Our trees are sending out buds at long last....

golden buds, red buds, pale green ones.........

Our last old apple tree budding out still another year......

We have reached 80 degrees at 1:30 p.m..........even with the sea breezes.....aaahhh....

************************************************

And
VENETZIA is all tied --

Now, I just want to do a little machine seam quilting to hold it more securely along the edges... then binding...
***************************************
And........
We are off to visit our friends and see their new condo this evening....they just sold up
this past November and tell us they really love condo living....

I am bringing the dinner salad and a bottle of champagne and the "Free the Wild Horses"
tabletopper for them in their new digs...hope they like it....

Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse (crumb-piecing-euse)

  11. Northern Indiana hit 80 as well...then it cooled a bit and 3 inches of rain fell in ONE EVENING. That is our normal for the MONTH. But I'll take it.
