Spring time......

Its been awhile since I posted, and no, its not because I have been busy drawing on my other blog... speaks with pencil .... Spring has come to Michigan (or has it). Weather Channel is calling for snow, 33* next week.... I have been busy with raking and hauling leaves and brush, trying to beat the grass, and today actually it looks like the lawn mowers will be out. After a long winter it is nice to get out and smell the fresh spring air, and hear the birds singing away in the trees. The trees are starting to leaf out, tiny little miniatures unfolding. My cherry tree has one bloom on it so far, last year the Japanese beetles got to it, this year I am prepared, I am hoping for some Cherry's. We moved into this house 11 years ago, and I wish I would have put in some apple trees, maybe a pear. I suppose I still could, I don't imagine we will ever move....As far as projects, I am experimenting with wool sweaters. I will post my finished item when I get it done...Not sure exactly what direction I am going but thinking mittens and purse sets....
