One quilted and a bit of yardwork

I only got one pouch quilted last evening. I was tired when I got home from work so it took a while to get motivated.

After I started some laundry, it was just too nice outside to stay inside. I got my handy battery powered trimmer

and trimmed back the lavender plants. Here is the plant next to the house before and after it's haircut

Next I cut back the plants in the center bed. It smelled so good as I was cutting them. Cutting them back now will encourage growth and hopefully I will have lots of flowers for the bees! I have lots of cleanup to do in this bed and I will try to do a little every day. It is only mid-March so I have time before the hot weather comes.

Since trimming the lavender didn't take that long, I decided to trim down the ornamental grass that a planted two or three years ago along the neighbor's fence.

It is all cut down, but I didn't clean up the debris. There are about a billion sticks from the neighbor's trees, so it is going to take some effort the clean this side yard up. The wind blows down the hill and so maybe that will help move some of this down the hill and to the woods. It is going to take a leaf blower and some serious raking to clean this mess.

I then took a walk around the yard and saw some of my Lenten Roses have flowers on them. The two beds of Lenten Roses need some serious clean up.

I need to mail some plants to a couple of people so I had better get out and do some work in the beds.
