April is here. The weather is finally warming up here in Ohio. The Daffodils are getting ready to bloom. My roses are waking from their winter nap. My 'Queen Elizabeth' rose has survived the winter and will be blooming for her 20th season! Bought my first plants of the season, 8 Provence lavender plants. Lost some during the winter and I have to fill in for the hedge to be complete. Cannot wait to harvest the flowers this year.

Today is the day I am doing all my Easter baking (pictures to follow). Lamb cakes and Apricot kolacky!

Stitching report.... I am stitching again! Had a lull for 1 month, but now the bug is back. After seeing this design on someones blog, I HAD to have it.... Ladybug, Ladybug from Little House Needleworks. I use a ladybug in my logo for my photography.

I will take pictures today and post them later of the lavender, the lamb cakes and my awakening garden.
