we enjoy Spring a little earlier than most

Today, looking out our front door, the tulip tree is in full bloom.  It usually only lasts a few days, this year we've been lucky so far that the wind hasn't blown all the blossoms away

Also, out front, the geraniums are beginning to blossom.

I've taken a few photos lately with the intention of posting them....guess it's time;

A recent sunset from our front yard

and another as we drove west.

  

The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

 Psalm 19:1

A Baby Boy Is On The Way

 

We are (finally) going to be grandparents!!!!  A baby boy will join our family in June (if not sooner); we are overjoyed!!

Congratulations to Charlie & Sarah! 

My first project for the new baby is a tactile quilt. It is approximately 24"x24" made from fabrics I had on hand (some of them have a history).  After finishing I decided that the pocket in the middle needed a purpose.  I attached a strip of fabric with a snap at the end, then made the "critter" to attach.  The critter can be removed and the fabric strip can be attached to a pacifier or another toy. 

We are planning to take this to our "kids" today; sure hope they like it!!  :)
