To those who wait? To those who do? Randomly? I dunno. All of the above, I guess! This month kicked off with Easter, and we celebrated with the Merkel family at my folks' house.

| Assessing their plunder! |
It was a lovely day . . . the weather couldn't have been more beautiful! Or at least, so I thought. We had Monday off, so Todd and I took the boat out.
That was pretty exquisite, too!
We found our first hatchling in the turtle sanctuary and moved him/her over to the nursery.
They are always so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when they make their first appearance in the Spring!
I convinced Todd to do a thing for me.
I desperately needed working space in the Nook. Desperately.
Now I have it!! I'm so excited! At some point, when the weather is a little warmer, I'll go back through the tubs and organize them a little better. But I'm very, very pleased with both my storage *and* my new found working space in the Nook! Plus, I have a lot more space for storage than I thought! *wink*
So immediately I had to do something fun to celebrate . . .
These Moda blocks had been on my to-do list for a while. And these colors are yummy. The photo doesn't do them justice. And I know I'm always saying that purple is my favorite color, but I really think it's blue. Blues draw me every time. I adore purple, but I want to quilt with blue.
I also got a new rotary cutter, which I LOVE! It is a delight to wield. Seriously. If you've not used these, you should give them a try. It cuts like a dream.
I got some more 'spring' color to add to our yard!
Usually we do hanging baskets for Mother's Day, but I was ready for some color NOW! Heh. I love impatiens ... and they last all the livelong summer!
Speaking of plants, usually Todd waits until after his birthday to plant our little vegetable garden, but this year, he went ahead and got it in a little early.
I should get more pictures. He's expanded our raised beds and it's looking so good! This is one of the new beds, in which he's planted three blueberry bushes. Whoop, whoop!! We love blueberries, for sure!
Finally (and I'll wrap this up), we got a load of supplies delivered for the construction of the bathhouse! We are so, so excited about this!
The completion of the bathhouse will complete the vision Todd was given for the camp when we first started out here as camp hosts, 12 years ago. Two bunkhouses and a bathhouse; a place where churches could being kids and youth and enjoy God's creation. And God has been so faithful!! Work won't start until May, but building materials are hard to come by and Todd wanted to get them early, instead of taking a chance he couldn't get them when he needed them. Yeah, we're very excited!
