It was around other total twenty-four sixty minutes menstruum yesterday. First, I wanted to complete off the Chinese Zodiac quilt, in addition to hence I wasted no fourth dimension getting to it.
First, I needed to press inward the foremost bend for the binding.
The residue volition hold upwards folded over 1 time again for a finished edge. At the corners, I made a 45° fold.
That allowed me to brand a mitered corner when I was develop to stitch it down.
So that at that topographic point are no unloosen edges to grab on IV tubing in addition to that form of thing, I zigzag stitched the mitered corner along alongside the residue of it. It's real secure.
And directly it's finished.
Here's a stance of the quilt back.
Now it's laundered in addition to develop for mailing.
After that, I couldn't position off weeding whatsoever longer...but I tried existent hard. First I visited the greenhouse. There, I flora 1 of the lettuce seeds had germinated. Cool.
Also, 3 of the sunflowers.
Then, I relocated the sundial to its pedestal in addition to laid the time.
I was happy to run into that v of the vi echinacea plants direct maintain come upwards back. The 6th powerfulness come upwards dorsum equally well, simply it was inundated alongside weeds. Now that I've cleared the means for around sunshine, I'm hopeful it volition come upwards dorsum too. If not, I'll belike replant it. They're a lilliputian difficult to say from weeds correct now, in addition to hence I marked each 1 alongside a bamboo skewer.
Between buckets, I wandered around taking pictures of every blooming thing. This is the crimson flowering currant that grows at the border of our woods. It's an Oregon native, in addition to we're real lucky to direct maintain this 1 growing wild.
The cherry tree is inward total bloom now. I'll endeavour to larn a shot of the whole tree for you, simply I didn't intend of it yesterday.

The Andromeda is start to demonstrate its crimson leaves now. In a calendar week or so, this volition hold upwards stunning. Stay tuned.
The strawberries are getting around flowers. We won't larn whatsoever ripe strawberries until June...and then, the squirrels volition belike swallow them earlier nosotros larn a chance.
Also, I noticed the foremost flowers are opening on the plum tree. It's expert that it's blooming directly spell it's dry out in addition to warm. The bees volition direct maintain a jeopardy to produce their work.
And that was pretty much my day. I pulled ii to a greater extent than buckets of weeds earlier calling it quits. The around high-density weedy areas direct maintain been pulled now. I'm thinking the residue volition hold upwards a lilliputian less labor-intensive, simply there's however enough to do. I'll direct maintain today off. Tomorrow I'll larn to run on the side past times side department which volition include dead-heading the hydrangeas.
As for the residue of the day, I'm planning to start sewing together the Wine Country quilt. I've been circling the finished blocks for days considering how to laid them. I direct maintain an idea, in addition to hence I'll larn started on that inward a lilliputian while.

He expects ii to a greater extent than days of driving earlier he reaches the RV dealership inward South Carolina. Yesterday morning, he texted me this epitome of a giant roadrunner statue at a residue halt inward Las Cruces, New Mexico...and you lot know nosotros both beloved this form of thing.
