March 2026

What happened to March? Anybody know?

I didn’t go into the sewing studio until the last two days of the month.

The Hubster and I spent quite a bit of time outdoors. We cleared and burned a whole lot of brush. We do expect a ban on the use of chain saws and a ban on burning to come early this year. Like many parts of the country, we have had drought followed by a very mild winter. Not good.

We became great-grandparents on March 11 to a baby boy!

The little fam lives in Oregon, and we hope to visit soon. Wren Thomas was admitted to the hospital yesterday, giving us all a scare. He is very jaundiced, but after many tests, the little fella was declared healthy and discharged today (the 31st).

Our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter visited for a few days. They came to celebrate the life of our daughter-in-law’s Mom, who had passed recently. Their stay here was too short, as always.

The Hubster got sick, so outdoor chores are on hold. Unfortunately, they will wait for him.

I finally have all of the parts sewn for Silk Path! Now all I need to do is get it laid out and sewn into a flimsy. This will be interesting, since I have no space to lay out such a large project.

I love it when the sunshine warms up the crocus and the petals open to reveal the bumble bees!

So sweet!
