Here is the Beehive..... Where are the Bees?

Another project finished! It will most likely hang in my craft room. It's approximately 30" x 30" square. This was a fun little quilt to put together!

A Few Hunter Cousins Gather....

My goodness, what a group. It was more fun than a kid could imagine! The picture only shows 13, but there were 14 Hunter children in Nic and Jon's back yard. Thank heaven's there's a nice place they can run and be noisy and carefee. There was black rubber from the swings flying all over and static hair flying as children flew through the air on the trampoline. We celebrated April and Matt's marriage the week before (they were still on their honeymoon) and visited with Mike and Jacinda +4, Marcus and Karen +4, Julie and Brian +4, Nicole and Jon +3. The kid's picture is minus little Bella who was asleep. Wouldn't it be fun to get all the cousins and their kids together? We'd have to reserve a whole park! It was a good time, and I think the little little cousins will always remember the fun.

Summer's Here?

I've heard it was springtime, but who can be sure. There are some tale-tell signs all around - my roses are finally starting to bloom and the Dutch Iris are peeping out of their wrappings. The peoney's are so beautiful, but they like the cooler weather. The back garden is mostly planted - we planted tomatoes on Mother's Day as usual but they haven't grown much. I planted a bunch of seeds the other day then it started to rain and hasn't been more than 65 degrees since then - don't know if they'll even germinate at all. I'm thinking the birds are really enjoying the strawberries and a lot of the other seeds.... I planted corn, beets, carrots, squash of different varieties, cucumbers, bell peppers and bought some jalapeno pepper plants but haven't been able to get those in the ground yet because of the bad weather. Perhaps tomorrow I'll ventue out - it's supposed to be 70. I think we're due for a heatwave!
