spring

officially spring is here. so why not spend all day inside baking and sewing? (the sun has come out and i regret my plans that include baking and sewing).

so instead of wowing you all with beautiful photographs of my beautiful flowers, i'll instead wow you with some beautiful material. (just a side note my flowers are no longer beautiful because i have a puppy and had some rain. both of these things have made my flowers unbeautiful).

i have had a request to make some wheat sacks for an amazing cause and this material is one of the options for this project (will have more information for you on this soon). it came with a lot more beautiful materials (which i will keep a surprise). all this material arriving also added to my weekly joy of mail time, (which i discussed with you in an earlier post).

for me spring also means lambs, calves and docking. and feeding lambs and calves. these can be enjoyable events. however in the past couple of days in the rain feeding lambs and calves is not an enjoyable event (however i will not complain and instead will congratulate those of you who are feeding a million compared to my five).

beautiful weather is another added bonus in spring. like this afternoon. (officially scrapped collecting firewood off the daily list). it inspires me to get the gardens looking grand, stock the fridge with cider, and warm up the bbq and find some friends to enjoy it all with me. (i do have friends- just need to lure them here is all).

alas i will keep this plan in mind and in the mean time get on with some sewing and general domestic tasks and enjoy this springness from inside...
