It is difficult to picture what the coming months will be like, but here at Taylorsoutback, our days try to keep some semblance of normality. As the month of May approaches in northern Wisconsin, it usually means the opening of fishing season, the sound of grouse drumming in our woods and a delightful array of ducks visiting our pond. Grass bursts into a brighter shade of green overnight from frequent rains and spring peepers announce their reawakening in the evening hours.
Our son has shared his learning experiences with his new drone - we can now see directly above how our resident Mrs. Goose has built her nest and lined it with down to protect the eggs.
In the early evening, he flew the drone above our house and captured this interesting image...that bright pink dot showing, is my grow-lights shining out from the sunroom windows...
The gardens are coming to life and those same indoor grow lights have given me a headstart. Bunches of special order onion plants have arrived and baby pak choi seedlings are anxious to go into the ground...
In the basement, 4 new windows for the potting shed are being prepped - the old ones have served their purpose long enough.
Baking (stress baking?) and new recipes in the kitchen get a trial run. Any shopping is done online...new lighting, bathroom rugs, books, whatever is needed - we are in replacement mode right now - after 24 years, the house calls for more attention.
And in the evening, stitching continues on Rowdy Flat...
The last of the applique blocks begins...
Thank goodness for patchwork - it sure makes these days easier to negotiate.
What are your patchwork days like?
Stay well everyone and be safe.
Pat
