Last picking....

No more, sob.....

June 20, goodbye to our 2015 strawberries.

We loved you so much dear strawberries, but now you are small and tomorrow is the first day of summer after all and time for your  squash and green bean buddies to be the stars of the garden. The pie was made by PJ and she used "The Farm" recipe for the crust, it was wonderful. I love having Kynda visit when the berries come in.  I took her pickin when she was just a tot at Mr. Faith's in Paducah.  I hope you all had home grown strawberries in June 2015.

YUM

It's that time of year again but earlier than usual.  My first six strawberries of 2015. I created this picture using Big Huge Labs.  I wish I had a real sign board like this.

Happy Graduation Day

Granddaughter Rebecca graduates today from U of M Dearborn.  I am so proud of course.  Happy Sunday.

April Flowers

 Always the first to bloom, hellebores from Barbara

 My favorite hyacinth is Blue Jacket.  I first saw them at The Farm and wanted my own.

The tulips will be next, although it is so cold I don't see how any of them grow.  Maybe God's light does it.

In the Mailbox

on Saturday, this sweet, primitive bunny came to my house from The Moonlit Stitch.  I am writing a
thank-you letter today, but had to show her off on the blog.The Easter egg go-with has three sticks of cinnamon which makes her wrinkle her bunny nose.

I hope you are visiting Lisa regularly, she makes the nicest things and has patterns as well.  This bunny of hers keeps popping up on Pinterest so I will add this one.  Thank you Lisa and thank you for visiting today!

Neen's latest project

Aren't they sweet?  My friend Neen has crocheted these baby crowns to sell at Town Peddler for their family project, Help Stop Diabetes in memory of her grandson Scott.  I'll be taking the basket out tomorrow.  Please stop by my booth and take a look.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

 It looks like we might be saying goodbye to this sort of thing.  It is a beautiful Monday here in Michigan.This last month has given new meaning to my grandmother's (Mammy's) expression "penned up".  If you didn't go out, you were "penned up".

 At the library everyone was so happy, Charlie and Teresa said today was a gift.  I brought home some bread from Jack's bakery (they forgave me 5 cents on my purchase, so I think it was happy there.) And these to read and listen to while I sew. 

 These three are April, May and June, little stump dolls.  You can make one, Chestnut Junction pattern.

Also cats, Chestnut Junction.  Walker, the cat did some wrecking this morning because I wouldn't get up.  Maybe he is better equipped to handle Daylight Savings Time than am I.   I haven't written lately, but today is a new day to rejoice in.  Much love, everyone.
