Waiting to plant garden

Well, first of all I can't believe this weather here.  I know Oregon has a much shorter growing season compared to California but now I am getting mad.  It looks like we can't plant our garden untill June 10th from all the experts who live in this area.  With all this cold in the middle and end of May I know the plant would freeze if they were up now.  So we sit and wait.  Not Happy!

So I am busy piecing together my MaryJanes Swap blocks on my quilt.  I have some great blocks from gals all around the U.S.  I am re-arranging the blocks in different places to decide how I am finally going to place them in the quilt.
It is fun and relaxing to quilt.  I just started for the first time in Feb. and have finished 1 quilt and am in the middle of 2 more.

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
