April

Wow April is here and 1/3 of it has passed already!! I can't believe how the time flies!! Stacey and I have been babysitting our granddogs for the last 2 weeks (1 more to go!!) It's been an interesting ride!! Going from our one little Sheltie to him PLUS 3 BIG dogs!! I'm looking forward to Frank and Lindsey to get home, not only to see their pics and hear all about their travels, but for a break from being "lead dog" every time I get out of my chair!! This song "every move you make" just popped into my head!! They are good dogs, BUT so big in our little house!!
My after school kids have completed their little rag rugs, and several are excited to sign up for next session again!! I'll post pics of the rugs which are about 6 inches wide, and 9 inches long, and SO CUTE!! I'm thinking I'm going to make a few for my Farmers Market table, for display enhancement, and maybe include one in a gift basket, with some jelly, etc. I'll have to keep thinking on that one!!
New labels are coming along nicely!! Have to do some re-registering with the state about the business name. Just filing it differently really, but one more thing to take time and of course a few $!! Oh well! having fun mostly and enjoying the warmer Spring temps and some sunshine! I even have my bedding hanging out on the line, and looking forward to sleeping in some fresh linens tonight!
The Snowdrops are now accompanied by a few crocus', the sun is shining, the ice is beginning to leave the lake, and the air temps are in the fifties! SPRING!!!

Well February is nearly done, and behind it is the worst of the winter! We'll have more snow, and gray skys, BUT each day will be little bit longer, and the sun that we do see will be brighter and warmer, and each day be it gray or bright it's one day closer to Spring! This spring for me will be different from the last 20ish springs, as I won't be opening my greenhouse. I can work in my own gardens, rather than getting everything started for other folks gardens. I'll still start a few things, and will still do a few custom planters, but my main focus will be on my own gardens and cooking for Mum Foster's Kitchen. I've been substitute teaching fulltime for the last few weeks, so am looking forward to this weeks school break. My plan is to do my spring cleaning! But if Stacey has some thing for us to do together, I'll be with him and loving every second of it!!
What are your thoughts this blustery day???
