The weather has been delightful. We have enjoyed sitting out in the garden often.
Lisa and I got this lovely piece last week. The colors are so pretty. We also got another...
The little barrel cactus fits just right in the clay pot. We are very happy with out cacti garden. Lisa told Alan she wanted rocks for the area. Alan always accommodates us (remember he found me my tumbleweed!).
Not only did he find the right stones, he was able to make the stacks too. All balanced just right.
Today was a busy day. First it is Fiesta San Giuseppe...Feast of St. Joseph. After we left the Cardiologist we drove straight to the bakery to buy them and immediately sat to enjoy. Not to worry, I bought extra for later! I know my diet....I will skip the ice cream tonight.
About the Cardiologist..... I have a leaky Mitral Valve but nothing to worry about---yet. Something to monitor. My blood pressure was actually perfect today.
This is Lisa's latest project. She chose a lovely batik and solid pink to accent. The embellishments are a work in progress. Did I mention that she is learning to sew some by hand? After lots of
ouches and "I can't find the needle" she did rather well. I think they are getting used to us at the Quilt Shop.
Speaking of a work in progress.....It is not ready for a full debut.... can you guess what it will be? It has been a finicky project. I will be happy to have it completed. Time to put something comfy on and relax. Tomorrow is swishing and fluffing day. Always so nice top have you stop by for a visit. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Your outdoor area is just lovely! I love Lisa's needlework of course! Oh my! Are you making a little Easter rabbit? So cute!
Congrats on the perfect blood pressure! I know what an accomplishment that is. Your garden is so beautiful. So serene. I know I would spend a lot of time in it if it were mine. Whenever we drive by your place I send out a quick "Hi Gracie!" and Dan usually says "This would probably be the perfect place for us to live". Your home is so welcoming and the community is inviting!
Hi Gracie, how's the newly wed's doing. I love you garden and Lisa's sewing is lovely. Are you sewing a duck. Glad your blood pressure is good and you fell well. Have a wonderful weekend. hugs to all
I love your brightly painted cacti! The rock piles are awesome, but how do you stop the dog from knocking them down?
Hi Gracie: Congratulations to Lisa on learning to sew, it really is a joy to make so much with fabric.
I love the Zen garden rocks, and cacti.
I am looking forward to seeing what you are making, cute little tushie on that cutie.
Have a wonderful week.
Catherine
Your garden is lovely. Cactus and the stones are good to see. Nice colours.
Love your cactus garden - looks like a real family project! And I can't wait to see more of yours and Lisa's sewing.
