Friday Night Sew-In

I haven't done much sewing this week (I did finish piecing the apple cores and I will show it later in the week).
Finally the weather has become wonderful, and I have been spending time out doors!!!

I have been digging and getting the beds ready,

the vegetable garden has been rototilled!
Last week I saw snow flakes!! Amazing what can happen in a week. Just about all the trees have their leaves too.

The tulips are still doing well,

and the irises have started to bloom.

This little tree swallow has been checking out the birdhouse,

while her mate stays close by.

Today there was a Volunteer Chapel and Tea at my youngest son's school. He will be graduating from that school this year and going on to high school. I started volunteering there in 1996 when my oldest son started Kindergarten. We did live in Alberta for 2½ years and I volunteered at their schools there. Since we have been back in Manitoba I have been lucky enough to volunteer at the school one day a week for the past 4 years - in Kindergarten and the library every week, and when needed for my son's class and for different activities. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience! And I have loved every minute!

I was given a this beautiful bouquet of flowers in recognition.

Tonight is the Friday Night Sew In hosted by Heidi and Bobbi.

I am planning on sewing some more tumblers together.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
