Pelly's in Door County!



I was coming home from work yesterday and this is what I saw out on the bay, I had to stop and take a picture of it, it's a good thing too because when I went by a little while later they were gone. Yes these are Pelicans, they were quite big too. You can't tell from the picture, I don't have a camera that can do a very good close up, you'll just have to take my word for it. (side note: Pelicans are not native to WI)

Play day

So I spent the day with my friend Missy and we did some bumming around the Door, we ended up at another friends farm market...check out these beautiful berries!

Oh and if you want a good pie....try the Cherry rasberry at Schartners Farm Market, ya there's no picture of that since it disappeared pretty quick after I got home with it!
My flower bed in the back yard is nice and flush with greenery and weeds and I finally got some flowers planted. Good thing I didn't do it earlier or I would have lost them to frost, it's been soooooo cold.
Summer is off and running!

Summer!!!!

Yes, summer has finally arrived. Today I could say it even feels a bit like summer. I think we have something like 75 as it is always cooler by the lake! I've enjoyed my first week off of school and have had the chance to do some laundry, cleaning and I've been to the Y and have started my next quilt project, with lots of reading on the back porch. This next week I hope to continue with the Y time and maybe get some home things organized, plus stamp some. I'd also love it if anyone would leave some feedback....I don't know if blogging is a good connection if I never hear from anyone? Have a great week....

Chicago!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Chicago. Diana and I went for the day on a bus trip. This was Diana's Birthday present from Steve, Hans and I. So we spent most of it shopping but we also went to the top of the Handcock building.....94 floors.
View from the top.
Looking down from the top.
Diana, loving the big windy city....and yes, it was windy!

My new hobby!


Here is the results of my 1st lap quilt that my friend Cindy coached me through. It is a pattern call yellow brick road and I made it to match my living room colors. Being my first I didn't want to give it away encase it turned out real bad or ugly. Well I guess it turned out ok and it's snuggly not ugly! I like to be warm so it's a perfect match!





This here is my 2nd quilt, done in red, white and blue...I'll share more about this one later and who it will be going too. It was a bit more challenging but I'm happy with the way it turned out...now I'm going to take a bit of a break and then start my next one in June some time. Each of the kids will be getting one so they will be wedding and Christmas and Birthday gifts for this coming season.
