My gardenia is going crazy with blooms.
This is just one side of the plant.
The patio smells heavenly.

Mirror image nappers.....

This is a new flower opening.
Interesting, I think it is in the alum
family, but it was supposed to be blue.
hmmmmmm

The swifts are still busy in and out of the
chimney. No babies yet. I see the parents
flying when I walk in the morning. They
are very fast and catch insects in flight.
Amazing

Here is a detail of the Iris piece I am working on.
It is almost finished, just needs quilting.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my chimney swifts
have returned. They came back on April 16th the exact same
day they returned last year. I hear them up and about at 6:00am
then throughout the day. They come back between 8:30 and
9:00 every night.
This is all new for Lucia and Cleopatra the new kittens. They sit
on a little foot stool and listen patiently to the swifts twittering.
Chimney swifts live in Peru during our winter and migrate to
warmer weather in April and May. Swifts are endangered because
their nesting trees have been cut down and there are fewer
chimneys.

A beautiful basket of narcissus from my friend
Brigitte for Easter. All the bulbs sent up
spikes. They are in full bloom and competing
with the coconut orchids for who smells the best.
