More evidence of the "help" I have while quilting/sewing....she's hard to see, but Jessie is in my chair - she's been almost sat on a few times - black cats and black chairs are a dangerous (for the cat) situation.

 

I was trying (again) to quilt on my new machine, and was having issues (again).  This time, it wasn't the machine that was the problem - James was lying in the quilting path and I ran into her and stopped. Silly girl!  I did get the bugs worked out on the machine (I hope!!).  It is working much better for me now - I just need to find the time to quilt more!!!

The quilting area is a favorite napping spot, even if I'm not quilting.

 

And the roses are blooming!  The entire bush of Scentamentals is blooming and it smels so good!!

And the Sterling bush is just getting ready to bloom.

 

Some of the birds that were out in the back field last week.

 

AJ and I went for a walk on Friday - I had the day off, and Alli was at daycare - one of the few opportunities we had to take the dogs out together - and the flowers are out enforce!

 

And I have cucumber coming up!!

And beans!  

I brought Jessie to work with me, and remembered why I don't do it more often....she's such a pest sometimes, nothing is safe!

 

And more roses are blooming...soon the whole bush will be blooming!

 

I have a few roses blooming now:

And the rose bush is covered in buds:

 

Morning light....

 

More Spring pictures - though I should take a picture of all the pollen on the cars to show the "real" Spring we have.  

 

And the girls were released from the coop yesterday - they were loving the new area to dig around in.

 

The lavender is starting to bloom...
