ScrapHappy Saturday

 

Monday is a school holiday and we are spending a blissful few days in the mountains chopping wood and planting trees.  Winter was hard and we are busy clearing up downed logs and turning them into fuel for the fire.   We have borrowed a log splitter from our neighbor in exchange for sharing some wood.   
Then the next event of the day will be planting these tiny trees that Anna had shipped from the Virginia department of Agriculture.  We have apple, cherry, pear and paw paw to get settled in.  

I did finally get a real start on yellow.  The Hen & Chick blocks are sewn along with some yellow plus blocks.  I've got partial crumbs to be combined and squared up for star centers and few few hangover purples that were partially assembled when the new month hit.

How nice to be planting those tiny fruit trees on your rural property. May they "live long and prosper", and supply you with delicious fruit sometime in the future.

What a great way to spend a weekend! Good luck with the fruit trees, hope the weather stays good.

Sounds like you worked harder on your school holiday. But being outside is a nice change.

Enjoy your outdoor time, and the break from school. I'm taking a day off from school on Monday to (hopefully) finish up the baby quilt in the works. Thanks for the link-up!
