So This Is Spring?


Well, just when we were flipping through the seed catalogs and dreaming of the warm sweet breeze of spring; THIS CAME ALONG! Ok, here in Upstate NY we are used to snow, lots of snow, but not 6 feet all at once. I would like to say that I got gobs of fun stuff done, like a new spring wardrobe sewn up and 10 quilts quilted; but no. When this much snow falls all at once, life becomes all consumed by it. Just getting to our cars and clearing the driveway took 2 days of snow removal. Even the plow got stuck in the snow! Forget just letting the dogs out to go do their business because there is no more fence. It's somewhere under all that white stuff.

On the upside, this will back spring all that much better. I thought I had the gardening bug before, now I am insane with it. I go to the garden store just to sniff bags of dirt! The birds are singing their hearts out and we all know what that means, so I know it's there.

So now I am looking forward to getting some "Real" sewing done. Need new clothes for the glorious warm weather and it's time to get to work.
