Happy Spring!

Good Evening Everybody!

What a  wonderful "spring-like" day it has been.

Lehmer and I actually got out in the yard.  I supervised

and he did a major pruning on our dozens of

boxwoods.  If you have seen pictures of our yard,

you know they are massive.  After 30+ years of

growing, it is a never ending process.  Every few

years they have to get a major hair cut to whip

them back in shape. 

He has some more to do tomorrow, but we 

definitely put a dent in it today.  Next on the list

is digging up ugly, overgrown azaleas.  I'm going

to let them bloom and then bye-bye.

I'm also killing my front flower bed.  The 

perennials and seeding plants have just taken

over, to the point that it just look like a tall

field of stuff last year.  I can't stand it anymore.

Sometime it is just good to start over.  This

time I'm going to do a large mulched area

with specimen plants.  I'll have to share my

progress as it happens.

Also, I've done a little Spring decorating.  I

won't do a lot for Easter, since no one is 

coming home.  We will be going to Richmond

and having brunch where Paul is Head Chef.

Unfortunately, he never gets to share holiday

meals with us because he is feeding hundreds

of people in Richmond.  So sad!  

Here is my kitchen window all decked out

with my "vintage" Easter rabbits.

The eggs in the white bowl are ones that I dyed

with onion skins years ago.  I store them in egg

cartons and they have survived all this time.

Just love them!

Do you remember these guys.  They are back in print.

I was so tickled to see Mr. Hare shown here.

I hope Samplers and Santas doesn't mind me linking

to her Blog.  Love her blog by the way.

 Look closely at the wonderful "vintage" hand painted

egg.  A lot of the paint has come off but it is still

wonderful.

Hope all of you are fine.  I have had a good and

productive day.  Now I am heading to my chair with

my heating pad and my stitching.

Hope to be back tomorrow.

Many Happy Stitches,

Sandra
