SLAB-A-THON

Here is the first neutral slab I received from (Dawn's slab-a thon group)
--from Jacky--isn't it just a PERFECT low volume neutral--just what I hoped for......I love it!
  
This will just be amazing with my 2.5" neutral postage stamp squares
that I  am sewing for a table runner...
thank you so much Jacky...(no blog--
 ;(((),..) for the lovely block....

SPRING FLING


A work in progress--we planted (actually who am i kidding?--DH planted)  our little Japanese Maple and the two little Mungo Pines....and the rocks.  We both spread the mulch this afternoon.  The wind off the water here is still pretty chilly, but all this activity does warm you up!! Just being outside is so wonderful!!


And, yes!!, here's my little "Always Afternoon" daylily coming out to soak up the sun.....

When my back started complaining I stood and drank in this lovely scene:


I think although those sparkly yellow daffs are lovely, I really love those salmon hearted ones best....maybe.....

The weather forecast here is for a warming trend beginning tomorrow; DH will extend the bed around our rock to enclose my three roses (names unknown: anonymous roses...we'll have to see what colors they come out) . And then we'll spread more mulch....off-dah!

I think a lil glass of vino is in order this evening.....feet up, a little music, followed by a roast chicken dinner.  Ahhhh, what could be better.....
Hugs to you all on this lovely day,
Julierose, La Blageuse Garden-euse
