One of the main things I hate about spring is all the wild storms that come with it. Both Friday and Saturday brought horrible weather to Arkansas. On Friday night I do not know how many tornadoes touched down and did damage to life and property in an area some distance from us. The area was about 70 miles north of Little Rock. While I am glad it did not happen to our area it is never good for it to happen to someone else.
Flowers are blossoming all over the place – before the storms hit I cut some to bring in the house.
My peonies and roses are looking terrific
Since shortly after Easter we have seen this rabbit in our yard. Normally you can't tell one rabbit from another as they are all the same shade of brown normally but as you can see this one is tan. I'm beginning to wonder if it was an Easter rabbit that someone had bought for a child for a present and it got loose. No one in the neighborhood has come knocking at our door looking for a pet. It is cute and has made itself at home on our property.
One more block finished on "Insanity Revisited" This is block 8 from row 11. I also finished the applique on the block that I started for the Little Brown Bird quilt while I was in Paducah - now it just needs some flowers appliqued, embroidery to embellish and then I will take a photo of it.
Yesterday morning I made another of the pineapple blocks and now my cutting table and sewing room seem to be in general disarray! There is something about working with scraps that really makes a mess of things. This past week I got a little quilting done on the Christmas quilt but progress is moving very slowly on it. I have not touched the baby quilt in some days and my fingers are now healed up once again so I really must get back to it.
I have not had much energy for much of anything the last couple days with this awful cold that I went and got. Surely I will be feeling better later today – as it is I think I must get on the phone first thing in the morning and cancel my dental cleaning for the afternoon. I hate to cancel an appointment so late but rather do that then try not to cough and struggle for breath when someones fingers are in my mouth!!
