Splitting the workload works

Spring has finally arrived, so hopefully no more freeze warnings or snow. It has been a Winnie-the-Pooh season, with some sunshine, then a couple of really blustery days! Winnie and his friends had many, many life lessons to teach us.

Tulips are blooming, at least for today, and this morning was my first spotting of robins in the front yard. There were 4 of them, and my heart lightened. True harbingers of spring, I dug my Baltimore Oriole feeder out of the shed, gave it a good scrub, filled it with grape jelly, and am now ready for both warm weather, and warm weather birds.

After getting some dirt mixed with mushroom compost and bloom booster, I am ready to go when plants can actually go in the boxes and in the ground. Every year for many generations in my family, red geraniums have gone in pots or window boxes near the front door – because they’re happy and welcoming. Not sure how that tradition started, but I continue it to this day.

Getting some great sewing time in on Jazz Quilt #3, and it will soon be quilted completely. So, 2 down, 1 in the final quilting stage, 6 to go!

Cheers,

Beth
