Watch my garden grow....

It is amazing what a difference a year makes! This is what the yard looked like last fall after we did a little bit of work.

And this is what the yard looks like this spring.

The irises are all starting to bloom and the vision that I had is finally coming to life. I am so glad that Dan and I took the time to go to the iris and daylily sales and that we planted them as soon as we could.

Hubby had a great time starting annuals in his make shift green house (in the bathroom). I thought I had pictures but I can't seem to find them. He started about 500 annuals! We might of planted them a little early (since spring came early). Unfortunately some of our plants became food for some of our nature friends so we will have to fill in some areas. But those that survived are doing well. I can't wait to see what it all looks like in a couple of weeks.

My fountain got a crack this year. We've had it quite awhile. I didn't want to throw it and I had visions of it becoming a great planter. Hubby wasn't so sure and told me that he didn't want me to do it. But when do I ever listen to hubby? I had a vision and I forged on!!

I can not wait to see what this looks like in a couple of weeks when things start spilling over!

Let's start again....

WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't. I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up. Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post. Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?" Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels?? That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats". What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again. I am real...

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

October UFO

Another month has started which means it's another UFO. I could get depressed about what I haven't been able to finish but instead I think I will be thankful for what I have finished! So with that, what's up for October? What does this mean for me? Well as far as sewing is concerned that means that my October UFO is the USA Map. I'd love to get this done and put it upstairs in my themed "vacation room". And what does it mean for knitting? I had chemo hats down but since those are all finished I modified my list to make knitted knockers. How appropriate for breast cancer awareness month! This challenge has been good and I have been to focus on things in my stash. Speaking of stash, Sherri from A Quilting Life blog had a great tutorial on a patchwork bag . I had some mini charm packs that I have been trying to figure out what to do with and this was the perfect project. Sew the squares together add...
