Spring cleaning started

Well, just my bedroom but it is a start. We really had hardly any winter at all.Window and slider open just a bit more to organize but one room down. The air is cool but perfect for airing out the house. Seems I can not zip through the house like I used to..... it is the age thing. The pond water is babbling and the birds are chatting. I hope to sit outside today for a bit.
Sunday I visited and had lunch with my friend JeanneG and yesterday I was out with Dianna and of course lunch....Friday will be with Glenda and Don....gee, it sounds like a big social calendar. In the meantime I did finish my tatted snowflake......
I really like this book by Janet Williams...all the patterns appeal to me. It is all starched and hanging on my tree branch. Yesterday I finally picked my strawberries...
Five petite but oh so delicious gems. There are several more on the plant. I am sure it would do better if it were in the ground, but I have more of a chance loosing them that way. I actually bought it for looks more than as food but I will take whatever it gives.  I have been enjoying my chives and basil too. I need a few annuals to add to the garden. I need to freshen up the 2 pots out front but will wait until the landscapers finish the new rock addition.
I really need another cup of coffee.....and a bite to eat so I will leave you now. Glad you had some time to spend with me. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Sure it looks like a bomb hit at my place...... To many busy weeks is time for a major overhaul...... Or at least a partial...... It's starting to drive me nuts.......

Hi Gracie: I have been spring cleaning my self, I am almost done I started early.
I love your tatted snowflake, it is lovely.
I look forward to fresh strawberries every year, I have a large elevated garden then I do not need to bend or kneel on the ground.
I hope you have beautiful weather this week.

Blessings

Your snowflake is lovely. Looks like your strawberry plant is happy being up off the ground - they're so red! I'm spring cleaning too. Mainly purging stuff that we don't use or that no longer fits our lifestyle.

Happy Easter, Gracie!

The snowflake looks great! You might not have much of a natural winter, but inside your home there is pretty snow and ice.
Your strawberries look yummy, I hope we get some soon as well.
