Garden Nursery Fun

Winding down spring break with a trip to Woodinville, a quilt shop and a garden nursery with Cathie, which small town will be our next adventure outing?

A few pictures inside and out at Molbak's

Would love to have brought home a rhododendron named Del, probably of the King George family, smelled divine, large pale pink blossoms, loved it!  Saw another named Kristin, no fragrance, but made me think of my father-n-law, Marshall would buy his rhody's and azalea's by name, miss him! 

I have to add I enjoyed this week off spent with family and friends, catching up around the house, errands and appts put off too long, and birthday parties for the mom's.  It is also the last one with Kirstin at home, she will be able to live on campus next year thanks to a generous grant offered by the UW, still in major shock, relief and giddiness! I am so very proud of both my daughters, they are not perfect, but I am perfectly happy with them! (okay most of the time, well often, often enough!)

Easter weekend was hectic and fun.  We had a crafty treat day hosted by Keri on Saturday and we made a mess again too, dyeing eggs, icing cookies, gluing banners! Another great girls gathering, they always go too quickly. New plan, next time, not on a holiday weekend, and maybe at a different venue, will have to see when that time nears huh? Almost forgot to add my teenagers had egg hunts at home and at Grama Carole's house, Luke got a head start for probably the first time ever, or was that cheating? Butter Cookie Monster he is, so I sent the rest fo the cookies home with him, Kristi got her one cookie at least.  I ate the one our cat Oreo was licking on, no biggie, tasted great! This year I iced the chicks a pale yellow and the bunnies purple with a white icing blob for a cotton tail, should have taken a picture of them, next time! I Love that recipe out of the Susan Branch Christimas book and apparently so does Luke, Kristi told me today he ate 3 for breakfast the other day, kid after my own heart!

Michele has an awesome cutting machine, just add a glue stick and wahlah!

Yep, this one's Alaina's, what more can I say?
