Happy Earth Day

Today is Earth Day.  Only one day a year?  I think it should be Earth Day every day of the year.  Let's recycle, clean up our environment and plant trees and wild flowers.  I planted some peas and lettuce. Not just for Earth Day, but because I love the fresh bounty from my garden.

Just some garden photos.  This is what my urns look like now.

And some Scilla Siberica in my front lawn.

We've had a lot of rain over the past few days.  Today that rain was interspersed with hail and snow. The temperature will go down over the next few days.  But the sun should come out.  And that will be nice.

And now some hexie flowers.  I could make many of these for Earth Day.  And I will!

Happy Earth Day!

We finally have some spring.  Not a lot, but there is a hint of it in the air.  I planted an urn with some spring bulbs, pansies and primrose.  I just couldn't wait for the flowers to come out in my garden.

But my Scilla Siberica is also blooming on my front lawn.  I love blue flowers.  When these come out I know it's spring.

It rained last night and you can see the droplets on the flowers.  Another sign of spring to my eye!

Today is Earth Day.  This is one of my favourite days of the year.  I hope you plan to do something green to help our planet.  Maybe join in on the 22 minute clean up.

Happy Earth Day, everyone!

I will show you some quilty stuff tomorrow.  I promise.

A Couple of Placemats for Earth Day

The weather has been cold and sunny, so I have been busy in my garden.  Sewing has taken second place to the outside work.  There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do.  But I did get a couple of placemats done for Meals on Wheels.  These are given to new clients when they start having meals delivered.  Many of them have let us know that they really appreciate a wonderful placemat with their first meal.  And anything that puts a smile on a shut-in's face is okay with me.  Tonight is our guild meeting and I am happy that I got them done in time for that

.I have one more that will have to wait until next month.

 

 

I know it is already late in the afternoon,

but I also want to wish everyone a 

Happy Earth Day!

Happy quilting.....

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day!

A day to make people aware of what is happening to our planet.

Are you doing something to make our world a better place?

We need to lesson our impact on our world.

Make every day an earth day!

Turn off the lights when not in use.

Say "No!" to plastic.

Recycle!

Take public transit.

Use water wisely.

Plant a tree.

I think I will make a new bag today, something that I can re-use.

If we each do a little, we can all do a lot!
