Spring Time!

I was in Idaho Falls on Monday. It was such a gorgeous day!!! A little bit too warm for me for this time of year, but gorgeous nonetheless. I think it's finally spring here!
This is our spring kitten this year. We don't have a name for this little cutie, but she sure is sweet!

Meow-Meow is the kitty cat queen bee around this place. She is the boss & she knows it!
On a totally separate note, my mom is an amazing quilter! I have been telling her for years that she should make her quilts available for sale and do custom orders. I think I about have her convinced to branch into that. I'm going to start making her a blog for her work this weekend. These are a couple of her most recent table runners.
This is called Trip Around The World. This runner is made out of leftover fabric from making me a quilt of this same pattern. She decided she wanted to make this pattern & I just fell in love with the fabrics she selected. She generously decided to make the quilt for me & I cannot wait for it to be done being quilted!

She appliqued these flowers on for this spring table runner. I think it's so pretty & it's fun to walk by the table and see it every day!

The Garden

So finally, after one of the screwiest springs we've had in awhile, it's finally warm enough to be putting in the garden. Of course, I'm sitting here typing this in the afternoon because I've been chased inside by a cold wind & rain, but Saturday and this morning were beautiful! I took full advantage of it by getting the garden going. Of course, I had to take photos, as they make the blog so much more fun!

Above & below are two rows of tomatoes. We decided to try a few different varieties this year.


Above, Josh uses the awesome tiller that a neighbor loaned us to prepare the next row so that I could plant the pepper plants. Below, Josh rakes the row smooth.

My mom watered all the new little plants after I'd put them into the garden.

These are three of my strawberry plants! I planted 10 plants last year & got a few strawberries. I couldn't believe how many not only came back, but shot off litle babies! I think I've got about 20 now!

Sadly, even after all this work, I'm not done. I still need to get corn, beans, squash & cucumbers in. Oh yeah, and lettuce.
