Monday again

I tried the banana bread from the cookbook AmTestKitchen and it was delicious. One down and 1199 to go! We are enjoying some lovely spring like weather. I have been using it to trim rose bushes, whack away some more on the peach tree take-down and trim up a lot of dead vegetation like the tops of the day lilies and grasses, and cannas. I have been reworking on the long garden path, but do not have it done by any stretch. I will have to purchase some builder's sand and some more stones, but think I have it worked out in my mind.

Kohl's is running a 25% off sale on all its OXO kitchen gadgets and I want to run by after I finish working at church today. Might be a good time to pick up a box grater.

I plan to move some things around in the yard in order to expand my herb growing and veggie growing space. I am so tempted to do it now, but know we will have some harsh weather next month, so guess I had better wait. I must take down the arch leading into the long beds. I hate to loose the landscape interest, but it is rusted to a dangerous level. Maybe one of the home improvement stores will have a replacement or Big Lots even at a very good price. I will have to be on the look-out. My larkspur are poking up all over the place as well as the day lilies and the daffodils. What a lovely promise of spring right around the corner.

I am doing some punch needle work and just finished a really cute bunny pulling a cart of tulips. I finished a ginger jar table runner, but do not have it quilted. The block at guild was a ginger jar, and I wanted to give it a try. Table runners are so great for that.

I am excited for you that your friend is interested in helping you develop your garden further. That will be fun for you both and the yard will benefit. It is nice to have talented friends.

I need to get going on the To-Do's for the day.
