The first blocks.........and the first peony......

I needed some instant gratification last night so I sewed the first nine 16 patch blocks.

Here is the next batch ready to sew.

I was outside most of the day yesterday so I only sewed 2 more sets of strips together.

I planted my tomato plants in the raised bed and the whole time I could smell the lilacs at the other end of the house.  They are one of the Korean varieties so they are late and not especially pretty but very fragrant.

The first peony bloomed in the 70 degree weather with the sun shining.  What a difference from 47 degrees the day before.

I also planted 6 more pots with flowers.  Oh, and I mowed the back yard and side yard.  I think I got my fresh air and exercise yesterday.
