Spring

Mother Nature hasn't been kind this winter to so many folks around the country...and even here in Florida we had more cold than someone with sand in their shoes likes!  However, yesterday and today was just picture perfect as far as the weather goes....lots of sunshine, windows open and lots of breeze to blow away the cobwebs!  The grass is getting greener every day and the trees are all budding like crazy.  We can only hope that no more cold will come and turn all this great stuff upside down.  The gold finches are still here and I'm trying my best to keep up with the amount of food they can actually eat!  Sent the robins on their way up north with lots of rest and a full belly so be watching for them.   Saw a Flicker for the first time on Friday and I've never seen any bird's wings (actually the underpart of their wings) as  canary yellow as theirs are.  I couldn't take my eyes off of him he was so pretty.  Sorry, just got caught up in the moment there.

The reason I'm writing to first to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to my friend, Carol Crago for helping me out with some new quilts for spring. She delivered them to me Saturday morning.  They turned out wonderful and  I hope to show you all of them very soon.  I'll be finishing up some borders this week, making backs for all the new quilts - there will be 4 and I'll be working on a surprize that will be introduced by me for the first time. 

I hope everyone is enjoying some spring like weather and I'll be back soon to let you in on what's coming your way!!! 

Until next time,
Lynda

Spring is a lovely time of year, nearly as nice as Autumn, which is what we're heading into 'down-under' the nights are getting chilly 7 the Autumn color is just starting. the birds you describe sound amazing, I too get a bit carried away when describing Mother Natures marvels!
A SUPRIZE....... you say, I do love a good suprize & i can't wait to see the new quilts ;- )
