Here is a picture of March's quiltlet, it is quite small (as usual, a bad picture). It is red, white and blue for DC.
This morning I met some of the other kindergarten moms to stuff Easter Eggs. After that I wandered down to DSW to look at summer shoes. I love summer shoes. I am a big fan of flip-flops. They had two complete aisles of flip-flops. Whoohoo. I oohed and aahed and bought two pair. I walked farther down the mall to the pedicure place where I have a gift certificate, but they had no openings. I don't have freshly painted toes to go with the shoes. You can't have everything in life.
I am flitting around the house and yard like a butterfly. I can't seem to stay with one thing for very long. A little quilting, a little laundry, a little sweeping, a little reading means a whole lot of nothing being accomplished. It is a good day to enjoy the sunshine. It is one of those days where it is warmer outside than inside, the pets and I are following the sun from room to room. I am going to hang up the hummingbird feeder, I just decided!
On Monday Ned and I took a nature walk. I haven't been down to the meadow in ages. It was rainy, but quite fun. Ned showed me some of his favorite things. I didn't realize quite how far and wide the boys wander. He showed my stick nasty, the creepy woods, the haunted house, goose poop, a huge ant nest and a decaying deer carcas. I showed him a wood pecker, magnolia blooms, the neighbors espaliered camelias, an interesting wood pattern, and brought along the clippers so he could make a bouquet for Ellen's birthday. The flowers were his idea and not mine. We both had a wonderful time.
Happy, happy birthday to Ellen, belated. I should remember her BD as it is the same day as David's. We spent the weekend with David and Nanette and the kids and celebrated his BD on Sunday. I like the picture of Ellen with her cake. What a thoughtful brother, Ned, to choose and pick flowers for his sister for her BD. Next will be Ian's birthday. May it be a happy one too, Ian. Our family has many April BD's. Brooke's is April 6, Jalen April 14, Nick's Lindsey April 4, Emma April 28 and Tyler April 30.
