We have had an unusually warm day today, reaching 67 degrees and that has released the peepers from their winter freeze to sing their songs of spring. Hearing their song always makes me smile and think of the warmer weather to come.Growing up we counted the number of time the peepers came up and went back down into the mud as the temperatures fluctuated between warm and cold. After three times up and down spring was here to stay. Living in the northeastern part of the United States, winter and the cold weather always seems to stay around a month too long.
Now starts the trips out the door each night to listen for the peepers and count the number of times they come up and go down. Happy spring to each of you!

Hello, I live in Westfield, NY. I'm not sure where Palmyra, NY is. We get spring peepers, too, and I love to hear them. I am looking forward to the warmer weather. It may snow here a little tonight. I saw your ad in the Quilt Retailer Magazine for the BFF bag, and love it!

Hi Lesley,
My sister's first job after graduation was in Westfield. Small world. Palmyra is north of Canandaigua and east or Rochester. I hope your snow doesn't last and the sun shines on your face. Glad you liked the bag.
