February In the Garden from From My Carolina Home

My mind has been on my garden for a few days now, as I observe some green shoots coming to life again. The little patch of daffodils is coming up, with buds already showing. This patch is a mixture of all yellow daffodils and some yellow and white ones. They usually bloom in late February, so they are right on time this year.

Flying to Indiana and Dog/Violet Challenge from Life as a Quilter -- Julia Graber

Life ...

Paul and I had a quick flying trip to Indiana for his cousin Raymond's funeral. Joel was our pilot.

We stayed with cousin Benny & Miriam. She had this beautiful quilt for us to sleep under. I wished I would have asked her the story behind it.

Joel's girls continue to make good use of the steps and books.

Ashton checking the pertinent things before getting started with field work.

Somehow he is growing up way too fast!
