I know that it is March, but since I made an unplanned trip to visit family in February, I did not meet my OMG goal.
Since coming home, I have been playing the catch up game. So, while I still don’t have my daughter’s patriotic quilt basted, I do have my February 365 Challenge blocks finished.
Onward to March!
Quilt On!

We had a beautiful afternoon on the last day of our visit with our son and his family, so they took Hubby and I to Salter’s Point Park to enjoy the beach.
I loved it all…the sun, the ocean, the smells, the sounds, the colors, the textures, the critters, the train and the family time!

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” -Isaac Newton
“To find a seashell is to discover a world of imagination.” -Michelle Held
“Don’t let the waves of others drown out your own ocean song. Hold your heart as though it was a seashell. And listen to it. Listen to its music. To the whispers of your ocean within. And then swim.” -S. C. Lourie
“Can I be as serene and simple as this bleached shell, rubbed smooth by wind and water, receiving and releasing, filling and emptying and filling again, eternally receptive to the currents of life?” -Katrina Kenison
“A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.” -Henry Grunwald
Thanks Fam!
Stay healthy.
Stay safe.
Keep smiling.
See the world around you!
A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.

Since the first day of my visit with my son and fam, through today, the western part of Washington state has been experiencing an atmospheric river; a deluge of rain.
I haven’t minded it (I do love the sound of rain), but it cleared enough today to have a much needed day out.
My daughter-in-law and I went to a tea tasting party. We learned some historical facts, some agriculture facts, and tasted a variety of tea. We learned about the properties of the various teas and how to properly prepare them. It was informative and fun!
It was also fun to be encouraged by the crocus blooming in the backyard when we came home from the party!
In the northeastern corner of Washington state, where I live, there is still snow at my house. It snowed there yesterday.
So I am very appreciative to enjoy the crocus here!
I hope you enjoy them as well!
