For us, March came in and appears to be going out like a lamb. We’ve broken heat records day after day. The garden has gone crazy with the heat. I picked my first roses of the year on March 14th. I didn’t even get my roses pruned until the middle of January because of all the rain we had. It’s been a crazy year!
I was working inside and outside on gardens. My UFO for the month was a small unfinished garden project. I couldn’t begin to guess how old this is. I believe it may have been a Quiltmaker pattern, but please feel free to let me know differently if you know where the pattern was posted. I’m linking this up at Freemotion by the River .
The paper pieced vegetables still make me smile.

As well, the March color chosen by Connie was green for her Month of Color link up party. I added three green stars to my stash.
We had a week’s getaway planned for this month. It was not quite what we expected, but we enjoyed our down time in Maui. The Kona Low was VERY interesting. As they say, “been there, done that” and prefer not to do that again. The devastation from the days long winds and rain was very real. I’m sure it will be months, if not years of cleanup and rebuilding for them. We are not the ones who love to soak up the sunshine so the warm cloudy days were fine for us. We did have a few days of sun and one sunset! There were a lot of whales that we could see from our balcony.
There is one small area on the island that you can occasionally spot the Maui black goats. They live on the grasses growing in the black lave fields. They are well camouflaged, but we did spy a mom and kid.
