For Mom...

This post is for my mom...who pointed out that I haven't posted for awhile. I just haven't had anything to post! I haven't picked up a needle in weeks, I've been working a lot, but most of my time has been spent cleaning and getting ready for Andrew's graduation party/Fourth of July party on Saturday. It just goes to show...you really shouldn't ONLY clean when you're having a party, especially if you haven't had a real party in years!

When we bought our house, there was an empty lot behind us. A few years ago, a house was built on the lot, which meant it was time to do something with our yard. Never did it...but with this party, it was time to do something. So, we started with this yesterday morning...



















Then the Hartford Gardens crew showed up and now we have this...



And this...

Which has led to this...

And this...














Life is good....

The yard looks very inviting, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I haven't done any quilting or knitting in a while, either. Maybe its summer...yeah, I think that's my story, I'll stick with this one.
