Spring Turns Into Summer

There was a bird trying to build a nest in my front door wreath for three days in a row in early spring. I succeeded in chasing her away, but now it kind of makes me sad. Spring is quickly turning into the longer and warmer days of summer. Don't get me wrong! I'm not complaining, it's just that Spring seems so fleeting.
I am trying to enjoy these flowers for as long as I can. The Hyacinths and tulips and daffodils, etc. do not last long enough! I am hoping these Lily's will last much longer. We have cool nights here in Idaho, so that helps. But it also requires a few extra precautions, like putting my tomato plants in these cool greenhouses Terry made for us:

My summer is already booked with gardening galore and several trips off and on, so not much quilting getting done around here. This is my latest project:
Don't judge! At least it's cut out, right?! It's going to be a Downton Abbey-inspired lap size quilt for a niece...someday!
