LC's Cottage

Spring has arrived!

I have two big distractions…sunshine and gardening!

Flowers are growing fast now! Lots of flowers!

I am anxiously awaiting for all of those ‘trees’ in front of the garden to suddenly perfume the air with loads of pink, purple, and white lilac blossoms! Lilacs are everywhere here!

I don’t have a photo, but the crabapple is full of pink buds and will open soon, too!

I am slowly spreading daffodil love around here. I have several varieties, and they are all doing well.

I used to have hundreds of tulips, but the rodents have devastated those (grrrrrrrrr). They don’t bother the daffodils, so a new look is happening around here.

The critters, big and small, leave the hyacinths alone, too. Yay!

Here is an early lily that I think is very cool, and it appears to be thriving in my garden!

The peas are up, as well as the carrots, radishes, spinach, onion, a couple of types of lettuce, and the strawberries look great.

Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini are all planted.

I hope y’all had a wonderful Easter! I know that I did! My daughter, and her fam, visited from North Carolina and it was such fun to see them!

Lest you think I have done nothing, stitching-wise, I do have a bit to report.

A very small bit.

Here is where I was:

And, with a bad photo, here is where I am:

This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another.  If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.
