Tulips and Forsythia

I am privileged to spend the entire day with friends.  We are going to the big city, Spokane, to shop and eat together. 

To top off the day, we are very excited to attend the Washington State Quilters guild meeting.  Ellen Anne Eddy is the guest speaker.  I have admired her work for years!

Here is spring eye candy from my garden:

Weed Killing and What is Blooming

I’m pulled in several directions, more so now that the good earth is blooming. 

 I want to be sewing…practicing my free motion quilting and working on the Widow.

I want to be working, and I am, little by little, on the kitchen makeover.

I want to be planting my peas and carrots.

So…what am I doing?  This:

Notice the sprayer on the right?

And the weeds?  Most of the weeds that I am zapping with weed killer are in the driveway.    A loooooong driveway when you’re lugging around a couple of gallons of weed killer.

I got most of it done, but still have a small portion of the upper driveway to do.

The fun part of rural living?  Let me zoom to the end of the driveway for you:

I’m still playing with my camera too.  Here’s some eye candy from the garden:

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the magnolia bloom… the deer usually eat the buds before they open…but I’m lucky this year!

This last one is especially for my Mom:

I know you have things to do, but make sure you get out and enjoy Spring!

Playing with the Camera

Spring has finally arrived at my house!

And thanks to my new friend, Candy, over at BuriedinScraps, I got brave and used the manual setting on my camera.  I have never used it before.

I surprised myself.  In a very good way!

 

Hovering over a photo will give you the name of the plant.  Clicking on the photo will give you a closer look.

All the plants are in my garden.
