Oh Boy Spring Has Arrived!

We finally have managed to string together a few beautiful spring days.  No freezing temperatures overnight, or sudden snow/ice storms.

How can you tell?  Well our favorite frozen custard stand opened.  Yep it was the weekend of the snow/ice storm but we braved the cold for our favorite small business on opening day which was April 8th.

We decided to get a head start on our  pumpkins and planted them on the sun porch/mud room.

 Tomatoes got there start there too. 

We have actually had to transplant the pumpkins to larger containers already, and the tomatoes experienced the culling of the herd.

And we finally had some outside blooms.  Why is it that weeds and stuff grow so fast compared to everything else?  I am trying to decide if I should just give up on my ground cover and tear it all out and start again since there is so much grass in it. 

When I am not outside messing around in the yard I have been sewing.

 I laid out allietare, and started sewing the rows together. 

I also did the twisted blossom in Orange for the April RSC.

I am getting better at putting this block together.  Finally.

I'm thrilled that spring has finally seemed to arrive, yet I still have time to sew.
