I got the teapot quilt done for my mother-in-law.  I wanted to make a wall hanging, but it ended up around lap quilt size.  Three or four teapots would have made a better size.  But, it's a good size for a wall hanging quilt rack, so I'm making my husband make one for his mom for Mother's Day.

My microwave broke.  The new one came in today so the old one had to come down.  It was surprising how much I missed having a microwave.  My primary use for it seems to be heating leftovers.  Warming leftovers on the stove just creates another dirty pan to wash.

The last of my apple trees has started blooming.

My oldest got this dogwood tree as a sapling in preschool (2003).  A year or two after we planted it, the dog decided to spend the winter chewing it and trimmed it down.  It was a somewhat sad looking bushy tree for a few years, then started having small, pathetic flowers.  This year, however, the blooms on it look good.  It's finally a nice tree, just in time for my son's high school graduation.

My younger son is running for class president.  He made posters today.
