Happinesss is........

It's a little early here to start planting outside but I'm ready to start seeds indoors. We were teased , as so often happens in this "wait a minute" climate, with a beautiful weekend only to wake to a dreary and raw Monday. Ah well, better Monday than Sunday. I filled my flats with seed-starter mix and soaked them. I'll plant this week and in the next few weeks to get things started.
I dream of some day having a greenhouse. Only a dream,though. The list of things that come before that is a mile long. I am happy to see so many things starting to poke through the ground. The color in our yard is an awful grayish -brown that I can't wait to be rid of.

The crocuses are coming up around the River Birch. We planted the Birch 2 years ago and it is my favorite of all the landscaping decisions we have made. The bark is a cinnamon color and it peels back so beautifully. I really have to plant some purple crocuses this fall.



Things will be bursting soon.


I also spent the weekend turning hems on a couple jobs I have going. Yes. I hand-hem the bottom and sides of most drapery jobs. This is tedious but it pays off in the final product.

    i was wondering if you and miss zevon might be interested in joining myself and miss neely in a walk sometime in the next week or so? the weather's getting warmer and the girls love to play together. i hate to have to wait until james has a day off to take them out together, because the two dogs at once is a little much right now until neely's more properly trained, and i thought it would be a nice time for the two of us.
    let me know what you think.

    let me
