We actually had a warm sunny day on Saturday so I took advantage of it and worked outside on my yard all day. I mowed the lawn, dug up 4 large clumps of day lilies, separated them and planted a new day lily bed on the side of the house where the grass was struggling to grow. It looks much better although I need to get some edging for the beds. In place of the day lilies, I planted hostas which will be much happier in the shade than the day lilies were. It was a huge project but the front garden looks much nicer.
As a result of all the time spent on yard work, my stitching progress was not as much as I hoped but satisfactory none the less. I think I will be able to finish this panel this coming weekend, especially since Friday is considered a holiday and I will have the day off because 4th of July falls on Saturday. Since the biggest part of my yard work is done, I'm looking forward to some serious stitching time. I hope you get some to and thanks for stopping by!

I think that this is such a nice piece and can't wait to see more of your progress on it.
This is some nice progress since the last time.
Hmmm, yard work. We haven't had much chance to do yard work lately since the weather hasn't been cooperating for weeks. Yesterday it would have been possible but as it was Sunday we just stayed in the garden in our deck chairs reading.
Will you show a picture of your garden?
I'm so glad that you finally got a bit of decent weather!!
Nice to see you finally have time to stitch! It looks great, good luck on finishing it. Nancy
