Project Sunday - working on some tiny bowls.  (the blue/green one is currently in progress!)

Lots of work got done yesterday - Yay!  My pots are filled with new dirt and the drip system is mostly ready to go.  Now I just need to wait for a few days to plant - not taking a chance on a freeze happening!     No big plans for today - I may  do some stamping this afternoon, or work on a basket, or take a nap - or maybe a bit of  all of those :) 

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday Quote.....lol - that's for sure!

I didn't get much done in the yard yesterday so I'm back to that plan for today.  Jeff is coming over to haul an old tv off (there's a free drop off today for electronics - yay!) and I'm hoping we can get my new drip system set up for my flowers!   That's my goal anyway :)

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - this is what my patio looked like on Friday morning.  By later in the afternoon the sun was shining and it looked like spring again.  Crazy Colorado weather!  

No big plans for today.  Church later this morning and then maybe this afternoon I'll get some more stamping done before I clean up my mess from yesterday :)  Or maybe I'll watch a movie and work on a basket!  Lots of options.

A couple days ago (the 16th) it was my blog anniversary!  18 years I've been doing this blog - wow!
