Spring Fever

 

As the days start getting longer 

I start thinking about gardening. 

The weather is much too cold 

to do anything yet 

but I can plan and start 

a few seeds inside. 

This year I've decided 

to do a garden journal. 

I haven't done one 

in several years, 

it is fun and it's a good way 

to record what worked 

and what didn't work. 

I purchase some seeds 

And I save some. 

I'm cutting the size 

of my garden way down this year. 

Instead of rows I redid 

the whole garden and made four 

small beds leaving room

for a small fountain and a bench.

I did this last fall.

can you believe it I used

42 bags of beauty mulch!

Well that's what I've 

been doing as I dream of Spring. 

 

I love going out in the backyard 

and picking fresh vegetables 

and I love watching the process 

from seed, to tiny sprout, to fruitful plant. 

 

Consider the lilies of the field, 

how they grow; 

they neither toil nor spin, 

yet I tell you,  

not even Solomon in all his glory 

was arrayed like one of these.

My Way Of Celebrating Birth

 

I love having baby quilts

on hand when I hear of 

a new birth.

At the moment I had none,

so I've just finished this one for

a little girl and will soon

be planning one for a little boy.

If you quilt or do any sewing,

I want to share one of my favorite

tools with you.

This pen makes a sweet blue line

that disappears the moment water hits it. 

It's wonderful for marking quilting lines

 to get everything lined up perfectly.

(I purchase them on Amazon)

I made six or seven baby quilts

last year, to give away and donated.

Baby quilts are so much fun to make.

And even more fun to give away😊

This is the front.

This is the back fabric.

Well that's my post.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.

I wish there was a way to put

the kettle on and ask you to

sit awhile and share a pot of tea

or coffee, your choice.
