It was 44 degrees this morning at 5:30am!  Going to a high in the mid 70's.  Bright and sunny...no clouds roaming skies as far as I can see.

And the snow, well, it's gone from the yard but there are a few small mounds in the road and in the neighbor's yard where they dumped the snow from the driveway!

And yesterday, going over three small rivers or creeks, I could see two out of their banks and one at the edge of going out and all three were much larger than normal!  Looking at the mountains, there's still some snow at the top so there more water entering those rivers...not to mention the next few days of rain in the forecast!!!

Sorry about not posting yesterday but I had to take in my son's car for servicing.  They finally have the part to finish up fixing the car after it was hit by a deer running into it!  That's quite a while ago, folks!  I left early and didn't get back until the afternoon so I decided to wait until this morning to post.

First of all, I did finish up organizing, sorting and packing the Christmas decorations.  They are waiting to go out to be stored in Duchess.  So, that's two of the intentions from February done.  I will file my taxes today so that should take care of all three intentions.  Wow...good thing these were intentions and not goals...I would have failed for February.

I had other plans for today but with the dry, warm weather, I am going to do some pruning on plants outside.  Mainly, the rose bushes, the hydrangeas, and the bush right next to the steps to the main door.  I forgot what's called but the flowers come in late summer.  I did look up last fall about pruning.  

I also noticed that some spring bulbs are peeking through the soil.  Not sure what they are but if I remember right they are purple and yellow flowers.  

I did finish up the March prompt for my Fabric Stitch book...

I also worked on a page for the Slow Making Journal but I haven't included the supplies for the envelope.  Here's the front page, the inside and the card which is always in the right pocket...

Let me tell you, this morning the last thing I wanted to do was my exercises...every joint in my body was rebelling...but I did get two sets done.  Do you ever want to quit moving because of pain?  Please don't!  You will end up not being able to move at all.  And let me tell you, moving with pain is better than not being able to move and having to rely on those portable scooters!

Have you heard of 'Tempestry'.  I saw it on one of the quilting video blogs I follow.  It's a strip of yarn about ten inches wide, either knitted or crocheted,  where each row stands for the temperature that day beginning January 1 of the year.  There are colors assigned to represent the different temperatures. What's really interesting about this project is when you put two years next to each other you can see how the temperatures have changed, basically less cold and more warm temperatures.

Well, it's a bit later than normal this morning so I will close for now.  Have a wonderful day and if the weather is warm, get out and 'greet' the sun...

Talk with you tomorrow...
