Gods country

It sure is pretty up here. Every one of Grants windows on the back of his house looks like a picture when you look out of it, such a nice woods in the back yard.

Getting lots done, one finished and one to tie twin quilts for Project Linus. Rachel and Grant head out to go turkey hunting today after school. Pat, mom and I meet Aunt Phyllis for lunch in Ironwood.

Been in the hot tub twice so far, it is really relaxing. So we have lots of leftovers for supper so we can coast this afternoon.

Pat and I went to Ironwood yesterday. She went to the stamp store and I went to the quilt store. I won................... Marge emailed and said that was no surprise.But we all know she wins in shoes. Found a great pattern and fabric for Pats winter wall quilt. Phoned the company but product has not been shipped to them yet. I will keep checking.

Off to help Grant refill the hot tub.

Loveing our vacation.

God has blessed me again

Wow, what a beautiful day it was yesterday. It has to be sunny and warm to get me in the flower beds this early in the spring. Well it was both yesterday. I filled a large wheel barrel with just the small sticks and walnuts left from my Beautiful Black Walnut tree.

Second on the work list, I pulled all the dead leaves and branches from the flower beds by the deck. Today? Who knows, I would like to get another eye sore in the very back weeded, but it has to warm up a little more first.

God has blessed me so much with the time and place to have my flower gardens, the only thing is I jump from one project to another.

I want to complete one or two quilts for my quilting group to tie when I go up to my sons in a week. I also want to get my sisters second wall quilt top completed and get it mostly quilted before then also. Then there is the flower beds, and the messy garage. Decisions, decisions.

I think coffee is my first choice. I think I will set with my cup in the silence and count my many blessings God has given me. See you in the garden.
