Cold winter temperatures are fighting to stay in a small part of our country. However, a friend wrote that Northern California hit ninety degrees a couple of days ago! We are enjoying a beautiful spring here in the Pacific Northwest, with temperatures in the sixties. Vibrant green hues are a beautiful backdrop for so many flowers in bloom. achhoooo!
I did my summer garden shopping on Sunday. Glen decided that he would rather shovel compost into the garden beds than go shopping with me (is that a match made in heaven, or what!) and so I headed for Bauman's. Wow, what a sight for someone that loves color, gardening and the countryside!
I came home with every seat, floorboard and the back of our SUV loaded with plants. The car smelled heavenly.
This week, Cotton and I are planting a flat or two during our lunch break. The flowers get planted now, but the vegetables need a week or two to harden off.

With summer around the corner, I decided to embroider a pillow to liven up the living room, also. I think the needlework is done thanks to some recent lengthy airplane rides to tropical lands; now I will design the border. To quilt it or not, that is the question!

I hope that you are enjoying a beautiful spring.
