Dornan’s Ice Cream

Vanilla custard soft serve fragrant tasty deliciousness for me! Megan got chocolate.

I went yesterday with Megan Bruns to get help from Rhea Butler at Alewives Quilting with picking out the borders, backing, and binding–all of which were due to a generous certificate from Bryan and Corinne Enright for my birthday this year. Corinne likes this quilt, so her name will be put on it. I may have to love on it a bit first…

Flowering shrubs have big fat bulbs and the Forsythia is in full bloom:
Perennials, like this peony, are emerging:
The grass needs mowing:
But it’s never really spring for me until the windchimes get brought out of the garage and hung:
