We are having a stretch of beautiful weather. My crocus (crocuses) are blooming.
The quilt show was wonderful. It was at the Henry Ford Museum, which is an amazing place on its own.
But this Quilt show featured a woman named Susanna Allen Hunter who was poor and made these everyday quilts from old clothing and seed sacks. Even though she had limited access to fabric, she made quilts paying attention to color and placement and had their own rustic charm and beauty.
Throughout the show they had quotes from her family, mostly a grandson, telling about her. I'm sure this hard working creative woman would never have guessed her quilts she made for the purpose of keeping her family warm, would ever be in a museum.
You can see a bit more here.
Today is the first day of hanging my laundry. Yep, there's my bloomers. Being outside makes a mundane task enjoyable. Feeling the breeze and listening to the birds is quite nice.
I wore shorts! Where did I put my lotion?When we lived in town, every spring on the first week or month wearing shorts, my interesting neighbor (interesting is better than other words I could choose) would always open her window and shout out " Hello Mrs. White Legs!". For some reason I don't miss living in town.
I spent some time transplanting my tomato seedlings.
Back to the window for you little ones.Soccer practice for the boy is tonight. I hope you all have beautiful weather where you are.

Now see there, you have caught up with me, way down here in Georgia.
The crocuses are beautiful.
I see you have the same dryer as me! That is why my picture is far back, I didn't want anyone to notice how big my bloomers are.(not that yours are)
I would have loved to seen the quilt show. That is not one of my talents, quilt making, but I love to see the different patterns and the talent of others who make the quilts.
The tomato seedlings are looking good.
Enjoyed my visit so much.
And if I was your neighbor, I'd yell out, "Hey there, Hot Mama Legs!" hehe
Your laundry hanging outside is reminding me of my plans to do that, too.
You see, I've always lived in subdivisions with stupid rules about clothes lines, so never got to hang out my clothes in the sunshine and save electricity, too.
But now I can do that, finally!
And with the mighty winds we've been getting up here, our clothes should dry in like,....30 seconds! hehe
