Ready, set, go

We’ve been getting ready for our trip, but in between I’ve been working outside doing cleanup work.

I don’t have it done, but I’ve put in several days of work especially after two trees were removed. One more to be taken down and two more trimmed up.

There’s no real gardening to be done yet, just lots of leaves, sticks and stuff thrown from car windows to be picked up. I didn’t take any photos of carts of leaves, tree stumps, or litter because I thought I’d spare you. 🙂

But, I am enjoying geraniums that are blooming on my porch.

I also finished the Amsterdam quilt and am happy with the results. I think it looks pretty good in the entry hall near the newly painted wall too.

Now it’s full speed ahead on getting ready to leave on Thursday. Tulips, windmills, canals, WWII American Cemetery, city walking tours, Belgian chocolates, river cruises, pralines and wheat beer here I come.

But, I can’t leave without Thursday Doors, and check back for postcards.  🙂
