Hi Reader It is a little chilly today here in Iowa with a lot of wind but the sun is shining and the grass is turning green. We'll have to mow before too long.

I feel a little guilty as I haven't made the quilt from the last box! Bella Rose Unboxing and a giveaway! Don't forget to grab your free April Quilt...

Hi Reader I hope you're having a great day, the sun is shining and it feels like spring here in Iowa! Can you believe it will be April next week?

Hi Reader Good morning from Iowa, it is looking like spring here and everyone is walking their dogs. Rusty is enjoying his walks and all of the smells. He is also wanting to just lay outside in the yard, wait until you see the photo I took of him this morning! We bought a new 4 door French refrigerator that will be delivered Wednesday, thank goodness we have the old fridge in the garage. Old appliances run forever. We had to go with stainless steel instead of white so I am sure sometime this...

Hi Reader Good morning from Iowa, when Rusty and I went to bed last night it was starting to snow but luckily it must have been too warm as we just have rain this morning. I'll take the rain. We are going shopping this morning, not because we want to but.....our refrigerator quit working during the night. Luckily we have a spare "beer" frig in the man cave so every thing was moved. When did refrigerators get so expensive?? Looks like the one we want is normally 3k but on sale for 2k. I sure...
