Summer Charging In

Well it is happening. After very cold and wet days we have switch to very warm and sunny days. I think summer is charging in. Will have to start dragging out summer items and think of ways to cook outside so as not to heat the house. I am kind of hungry for a meal cooked in our three legged dutch oven. We have had very nice showing of small irises in the yard. We are still waiting for the tall breaded irises to show color. I did get a nice picture of our tulips and irises that bloom in a bed along our backyard. Of course our yard is starting to draw in people who have to check what we have of flowers. The birds seem to think that the feeders should be empty out faster then I can fill them. We have several woodpeckers who love to eat from the finch feeder. So the finch feeder is crowded with yellow finches and a few red headed finches and on the bottom is the woodpecker.
The farmers have been going for long hours around here trying to get their crops in. A few have had to replant because it was to cold and the crops did not come up. The cost of putting in the crops is getting to be very high. So who do we blame for this mess? Lot of finger pointing but lots to blame.
I have been trying to work on a journal to keep track of some of my creative ideas for the crafting things that I do. Will try to work in my studio in the next few days and see if I can get some sewing done. Have lots of fabric that I need to work on plus lots of quilts to finish. Also will try to work on some outdoor projects that are crying to be done.
