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!

“Then from my heart will young petals diverge,
As rays of the sun from their focus;
I from the darkness of earth shall emerge,
A happy and beautiful Crocus!

Many, perhaps, from so simple a flower,
This little lesson may borrow,
Patient today, through its gloomiest hour,
We come out the brighter tomorrow.”

-Emily Dickinson

Have fun and carry on!
