Hello Sweet Friends,
Spring is here!
Even if the weather is still cold ☺
I actually have three quilts
that I am working on.
Here are two of them,
but now that spring is here
they are going to be put
on the back burner.
Spring brings jobs . . .
but I love being outside
and working in the yard.
This tree is growing into my yard,
but growing under the neighbor's fence
destroying her fence.
The large section fell in a storm,
so I got my chainsaw out and
took it down.
Still in the process of clean up.
I've cleaned my little greenhouse
and readying it for planting.
I want to give my backdoor
a paint job.
So I took a photo of it.
I turned it into a color book page.
And I've been playing with it :)
I got a text last week inviting be to go
on a day trip which included a
small ferry boat ride.
It was so sweet to get away for the day.
The choice between a road trip
and working in the yard
was a no brainier, LOL.
It felt so good being a passenger again!
I know that this was a lengthy
post . . . if you're still here
thanks for hanging in there.
I hope that you are all experiencing
good health and warmer spring weather.
God bless you all,
Thanks for visiting
I truly appreciate your friendship.
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
The ferry trip sounds fun, please tell us more. What you saw, friends you went with, tasty meals you ate? I always have several projects on the go at the same time too.
ReplyDeleteLove how you made the picture in a coloring picture!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy.
Turning your door into a coloring book page. That's really fun. Is it easy to do? Spring is on it's way. I guess it's actually here but winter is trying to hang on isn't it? We had 7 inches of snow just last Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to take the ferry to Victoria, BC., when we lived in Spokane but never made it there. Which ferry did you take? I'm so glad you had a great time.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Oh yes. When Spring arrives house work only gets done early in the morning or just on rainy days. Otherwise I'm outside usually puttering or more often lately just sitting on the porch. Your lovely quilts will wait until you come back to them.
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate that you were able to get away for a pleasant day trip. May there be more of those in the months to come.
Blessings, Granny Marigold
Hello! I love your coloring book idea! Welcome spring and all the freshness it brings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your quilts and keep us posted when finished. A very creative idea to help you decide what color to paint your back door. I will look forward to seeing the final result. Be safe and well.
ReplyDeleteOh, Connie. I envy you your gardening area. I miss having the outdoor space I had in my last home but have pretty well settled into condo life. I a glad you were able to get out and enjoy a day trip. We all need days like that. Love to you- Diana
ReplyDeleteps....Love the idea of playing with color for the door!
ReplyDeleteThat was a good idea with the coloring pages. You can try all kinds of colors. Have you decided on one yet?
ReplyDeleteA ferry ride sounds like fun.
There is much to be done in the garden in spring, and it's usually a joy to be out there (unless there is a cold wind and/or rain). I'm glad you got away for a little trip - that is so refreshing! Love the idea of turning your front door photo into a colouring page. I love the turquoise door.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy working in the yard too, but I certainly can't handle a chainsaw! You never cease to amaze me.
Wonderful to hear that you got to take a day trip and even take a ferry ride. I've never been on a ferry!
Hope you are doing well and looking forward to the planting and gardening season.
I'm so impressed! I would not be able to use a chainsaw. But, then again, I've never tried. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of trying out different colors for your door that way. It's such a hard decision.
Hi Connie- so pleased your keeping busy with the Quilting and Painting. Thinking of you. Regards. KEV. (Australia).
ReplyDeleteSo neat how you turned the picture into a coloring page. What a good idea. That would be a fun thing to do. Glad you got away for a day. Like you, I am looking forward to yard work and planting the garden.
ReplyDeleteyour quilts are so cute and pretty, really like the design on the second one. Yes it is time to get the yards in shape. We are getting over Covid right now, and have lost out energy, so hopefully that will come back soon. I like your idea of making a page of your back door so that you can figure out what to do with it, you have great ideas, all would look great.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get out and enjoy your day away from work :)
Hi Connie!🐇
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your quilts. The day trip on a ferry (and being a passenger) sounds wonderful. What a neat way to choose the door color! Turquoise is bright and cheerful..
I hope you have a glorious Easter.🐑
Blessings, Linda
I always get nervous when I have to drive onto a ferry but it's fun to do something different. Love your idea for deciding on the back door color. You are so clever!
ReplyDeleteLoved your "long" post with all its beautiful photos and your quilt WIP's and ferry ride. Can't wait for our weather to warm a bit so we can get out into the garden.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, my chainsaw totin' friend!
I love the way God has given us different seasons to enjoy - as you head into Spring we head into Autumn. The cycle is never-ending :)
ReplyDeleteWow Connie you do amaze me with that chainsaw! How fun to take control of those darned downed trees! I have a big tree leaning precariously over my fence and over my yard. Can't get up there to at least cut the dead branch off. Love your pretty quilts! I had the neighbor boy clean to my yard. It looks so good! I just have a few more pots to clean out and then ready to plant. I'm getting a little bit ospring fever finally.
ReplyDeleteNever could finish my comment so here I am again. It wouldn't let me correct that last sentence to "of" spring fever! Just wanted to also say how fun it must have been to be driven somewhere and go on a ferry boat. Now that's enough to give you spring fever! Have a nice Easter. Hugs.....Marilyn
