Spring

I love this time of year. The babies are frolicking in the pasture and the birds are looking for places to nest.

This morning there were two geese and two ducks on the pond. They were conversing with their buddies as they flew over: " This is our private nest so go somewhere else".

The bird feeder is full of new birds. The tulips and daffodils are blooming and the pups are trying to did holes in my gardens. The greenhouse has lots of tomatoes, and flowers started. The basil and scented geraniums are a delight to the senses.

The studio is full of knitting projects and rug hooking. Haven't had much spinning time but hope to get to some of that dyed wool and mohair this week.

I just read a wonderful children's book that came across my desk at the Library. It was nominated for the National book award. "The invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick. It is a gem-- book in words and pictures about dreams. Everyone should read it. I am sending a copy to my Grand-kids.
