It Feels Like Spring!!

What a glorious day!!! The temperature soared to 65, the sun was out and the Robins arrived. I had seen a few on a drive to the post office a few weeks ago but they hadn’t arrived at our house until today. Days like this give me spring fever and I couldn’t resist taking a walk around the studio to see if any crocus, daffys or tulips were peeking their noses up through the ground yet. I knew it’s still too early but I’ve got spring fever! I want to be done with winter – which by the way is back tomorrow as ice and sleet are in the forecast.
Another welcome sight today was the male bluebird. His bright blue color was a welcome sight after all the winter white we’ve had.
The studio has been buzzing. I’m almost finished with the machine quilting on the smaller Holiday Chorus quilt and questioning every day why I didn’t sent it out to be quilted. The bed size quilt will be getting its borders sewn on tomorrow and then it’s off to the long arm quilter. The appliqué and piecing for the magazine project is finished so the next couple of weeks should bring an end to quite a few projects and a great sense of accomplishment – just what I need.

I saw our first Robin in Montana just last week and yesterday the glorius sight f 5 male blue birds. I guess it is time to get out the blue bird houses:)
It is those simple sightings that bring such peace to my soul.
It appears you feel the same way.
Your great appreciation for nature shines through your artwork.
Have a most Blessed Day!
