Okay, I'm back

Instead of posting a bunch of individual entries for all my missing pics, I'll just give you an overview of the past week.

I spent most of my time working the graveyard shift (here's some recent pictures of the construction, obviously not taken during the graveyard shift):





recuperating from said graveyard shifts (aside...I made all three quilts on my bed):



and writing:



But there were some other things going on as well. My daughter had a sleepover that left the house a complete wreck:



With careful recycling, we usually average only 2 bags of garbage each week for a family of four. I cheated and bought paper plates/cups for the sleepover. Two bags of trash in just 16 hours:



One of the mom's brought me ten yards of this funky material when she came to pick up her daughter. Whoo-hoo!



I spent some time in my garden, too. The blueberries are really starting to ripen:

Bricks and stone

My brother-in-law bought these bricks last fall for his garden. He and his wife are moving out of state in a few weeks, so they gave them to us. For some reason, he also threw in a rock.

Distraction from taxation

First blooms of spring today:



Last summer we got a freak windstorm than knocked down five trees in our yard. (Miraculously enough our house wasn't hit.) My hubby turned one of the stumps into a chair. This is where our rock garden will go. (Expect updates on that.)



Another sign of spring:



Some of the leaves we didn't get around to raking last year:
