Time to clean up the garden in California

                                                          Gardening feeds my Soul

                                      Whenever I need to clear my thoughts I play in the dirt.

Last night I worked away on my rug hooking. I did a little bit of cutting strips a little bit of adding words in my rug. I am blending three different colors of wool to use in my background.

 This new year I am going back to some classes I had put on hold for about six months. I realize sometimes I need to be in a class to get my projects done. So next week it’s wool Crazy with JoAnn and starting in February it’s The Cheri group. That’s the evening group that works on Cheri Payne patterns plus we make a quilt for Sew for a Cure. I love working on projects it keeps my hand and heart busy.

So today I enjoyed the day in the garden. I was getting rid of plants which were not growing well and planting some other flowers for color. I had made a new border of bricks as I took out the bender board it was a messy garden. . As usual Maulie was my faithful little dog. There’s more to do but since were going to have rain this weekend hopefully some of the dirt will be washed away as we get a winter rain.
