Finally some finishing............
I finally machine quilted two small wallhangings so today I will do the hand sewing on the binding while my friends are here sewing.
Spring has finally arrived here in northern Illinois. I have 2 Jonquils blooming behind the peony plants.
The Indigo Bunting came back yesterday and was here almost all day.
He is such a bright spot in the back garden.
The Redbud trees should be in full bloom in a couple days. We got a little over 3/4" of rain late Wednesday and in the very early hours yesterday. We really needed rain. It has been very warm the last few days so everything has greened up quickly. I mowed the front yard on Wednesday before the rain started but the backyard is mostly shade and can wait for another week or so.

My daffodils next the house are a thing of the past with the heat we have had. The ones in the flower beds are in full bloom and look pretty. I am still looking for spring.
lovely seeing everything in the north beginning to bloom I know you all had an extra long winter
One day I hope to see an Indigo Bunting! It's not likely where I live. I just saw my first Oriole last year!
Gorgeous little bird and such a lovely colour, goes beautifully with the green grass!
Two pretty birdies you have in your garden! That blue is striking! Thank you for sharing - and actually catching the bunting on camera!
We have often laughed about me taking the shirt off my husband's back, but yesterday I did it. While driving to a meeting in the morning, I noticed a hole at the neck of his collar. Said shirt is now washed and part of my stash. I enjoyed seeing the spring flowers while we were in Champaign/Urbana a week ago. We don't see tulips or jonquils here in AL.
