A Letter

Dear Mother Nature,

This morning on the way to school the road was covered with ice and snow AGAIN. My drive isn't as long as some, but it is getting very tiresome to be doing this in the middle of April. Also, it was only 9 degrees! Yes, I know it was warmer than last Thursday, but only by 6 degrees. (My kinder kids can do the math and know it was 3 degrees last week). 

When I pulled up to park there were about 6-9 robins huddled in the snow by this downspout. Usually there are only 2 -3 in a group so it was an amazing sight. They looked like this bird below and am sorry to say that I didn't catch them with my camera/phone and had to search on line for this one.

So, I'm wondering if we could have some warm, sunny days for the final four weeks of school? I'd be more than happy to dig out some spring clothes instead of shoveling snow!

P.S. Could you also do something about the wind that is creating the snowdrifts across the road? There will be more ice in the morning. Pretty please?

P.P.S.
I love the moisture, but could you start sending it in liquid form?

Special Delivery

Some days I go out to the mailbox and find something has been delivered. Last week I saw a rather soft and puffy envelope from Doni at Faith, Grace, and Crafts. 

This package is what came out of the envelope. In her post she shared a piece of her art work that she created with some of her collections. Then, with some of the "leftovers"--laces and trims, buttons and ribbon--she made up a give away! My name was selected as the winner.

What a treasure I received!!

I counted 38 pieces and that is not including the buttons, the pin cushion or the miniature cards with Bible verses on them.

Isn't it wonderful? I know I will eventually be using every bit someday (in my retirement) to try and make something similar to Doni's piece, but for now, I'm thinking the joy is coming from the eye candy value.

This is part of Doni's lovely work. You will find her post if you click on the picture or her name.
Please go enjoy the beauty!

Doni, thank you so much!

Scilla Siberica

It's official! 

Mother Nature declares that

SPRING has come to my garden!

  

These tiny blue flowers are always the first to pop up and bloom. They don't care if the debris hasn't been cleaned out of their flower bed. They just want to make me happy!
