May for Me in Wisconsin! May 1, 2011

Some days in Wisconsin it feels like it is just black and white.  There is no sunshine or color... 


How can we change that?  Let's add color to everyday in May on our own.  Enjoy the day, even if it feels like it is grey!  Bring out the color in your life.  Join us for May for Me!  Make the sunshine everyday by enjoying the moments.  Choose to do the things you want to do.  Bloggers will be sharing projects, and ideas that they enjoy.  This way you can enjoy them too.


My morning glory look much better in color.  In the summer when I water my Morning Glories I enjoy the open blooms!  




Here is a bloom from last summer.  I also planted Bachelor Buttons with the Morning Glory.  They made me smile in the morning as I watered my container garden.


I went to our local garden center and bought some flowers and herbs and veggies.  I placed them right in my view for enjoying while I sew.  


They make me smile...
Here are some up close photos of my flowers....

I am enjoying the May for Me Celebration inside my home as it is COLD and WINDY outside in Wisconsin!


One of my wish list quilting projects is to make a quilt with all my flower photos... maybe it will happen in May!
And here are my spring strawberry seedlings...
adding more spring to my life...
