Apricot Blossoms in Shades of Pink

I had spring fever yesterday so Brigette and I took an hour at lunch to drive around the orchards where we live.  The fruit trees are coming to life, the hills are green and the sky is so blue.  We drove the back roads through farmland.  It’s wonderful to see at this time of year!

The colors of nature are something to see.  To think that each of these little flowers will become apricots!

The pinks will become the colors of apricots.  Mother nature knows what she’s doing!  It would be fun to see the palette on a cloudy day.

 

I hope you are enjoying some signs of spring where you live.  It’s about time don’t you think?  I’m spending the weekend working on quilt designs.  I can’t wait to show you!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Anne


Who Put The Chicken in the Tree?

I live in an area filled with cherry, apricot, orange, fig, peach, apple, persimmon, and chicken trees.  Wait!  What did I just say?  Chicken trees?

Yes, chicken trees!  Brigette’s friends, Dan & Teresa were wondering what was happening to their persimmons.  Now they know!  These are their chickens in their persimmon tree! Photo courtesy of Dan & Teresa!

If I ever design a quilt with chickens in a tree you’ll know where I got the inspiration!

Counting down to 2011 with a smile!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

As the days rush by before Christmas Santa is getting closer and closer!    Like most of you I’m still wrapping presents.

In the middle of all the hectic holiday rush today is my Granddaughter’s birthday.  At the top of her “important things” list today were the red velvet cupcakes she made for school.   How sweet life is when you’re 9!  Tomorrow night is her school play.  It will be held in a little church chapel and she’ll sing her heart out.  She’ll be one day older and one day sweeter.   Seems like just yesterday she was turning 5.

And suddenly she’s old enough to sew!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

As I was going through photos today I came across many from Christmas and Bunny Hill that I think you’ll enjoy.

I’ll be sharing them with you over the next few weeks as we wait for the New Year to arrive.

Remembering the days at Bunny Hill and welcome 2011!

Hugs,


Anne

How to dress up a garden?

How do you dress up a garden?

 

Plant two grand-daughters on their first day of school in front of some flowers!  Makes any garden look wonderful!

School uniforms add just the right amount of red!

   I just love my garden!

Hugs,

Anne
