HAS SPRING SPRUNG?, et al

 

It was so lovely to sit out on our deck

for the first time since the last

warm day last Autumn...

Our trees are budding out...

some pale minty green and

others red

at the tips...

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

After putting together a

 Shepherd's Pie for our

dinner this evening, 

laundry, and re-potting 

this plant...

I sat out and read for an hour

before lunch..

Lovely blue blue skies and

silence...

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

I cut some daffodils and one forsythia spray to decorate 

our dining room table on my French Spring table topper.

and 

Below is the lovely hyacinth that my son and

DIL brought me for Easter out on our deck

glass-topped table

budding away to beat the band...;)))

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

And 

Here are the next two "Pineapple Express"

blocks....

I am so enjoying the making of these free form pineapple blocks...

and 

using up all those leftover triangles and strips...

and

I am mixing in batiks along with 

regular fabrics on these..

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

Shepherd's Pie about ready to come out of our oven

in 10 minutes--to be served with a side

of applesauce and soft rolls...
