Nature's Beauty~A Garden Walk

Welcome To Springtime!
Yellow Yarrow


A Bucket Bursting with Color!


Pole beans coming up!

A Natural Prairie Garden at the very East end of out property








Gerber Daisies














A morning stroll through my gardens, everything still damp from the rains overnight. A little bunny hops out of the prairie garden, we were both startled to see one another! Thankfully Freeway was off chasing a squirrel in a grove of trees. The air this morning is so humid, so thick, you could cut it with a knife...but it is cool yet so very comfortable. Yes, spring has finally arrived in full bloom to Iowa. Today I have 7 more flowers to get in the ground, and I will be pretty much done with the planting. My vegetable garden is coming up so well however, the darn weeds are already taking over!
My hubby's dad and step mom will be coming in June for a visit! I can't wait to see them! And then my dear friend Vicki will also be visiting in June. What a banner month it will be! I love company!!!! With my husband's work, we have never lived close to our families, so each and every visit is more than special.
Well off to hoe the vegetable garden. I am almost finished with a rag quilt that has taken me a month to finish!! Can you believe that?? Sheesh! I can't seem to stay indoors long enough to sit at my sewing machine. And I have been working on the sweetest rag rug for months and months, but I'm still at it!! You will love it, and I will take some awesome pics when I get a little further done. Hugs and Love-from my garden to Yours!
Blessings~Sharon

~Just Soakin' Up the Rays....


A sunny day puts a whole new perspective on things doesn't it? A beautiful bright sun filtering through the living room windows finds me sitting on the floor, face to the sun cutting tiny pieces of fabric for a new tablerunner pattern. It was so warm, that I slipped on a summer top!! I am dreaming of spring today! The old girl needs a perch however, but she's still enjoying the view! You're probably getting sick of the constant weather updates on this blog....but truly, I've never lived anywhere that had so much snow! 62.5" now.....and more expected! Oh well, my pal and I-we'll just enjoy the warmth of the sun...on this day..at this moment.

Blessings~
