 A sweet surprise in my mailbox today

and blooms on the patio too.

where has the time gone??

 It seems that my blogging efforts have gone astray, again.

Our winter weather continues.  Is anyone else counting down the days till Spring?   It feels like Mother Nature has an apprentice who presses weather changes on a whim.   January brought a bit of everything. By Monday there is another cold front coming down from the north.   Snow in the mountain passes and local mountains.

On the patio the hellebores are blooming.  Everything else seems to be on hold at the moment.

With my indoor time I have been trying to learn to new to me knitting called linen stitch.  First attempt is a project bag.  It's rewarding making something from fibers that have been hand spun.

And more spinning underway.
