Spring wonderings and update on Resolutions

I finished a bed sized quilt. Next I want to make a quilt with fewer flaws. I may take a stab at hand quilting again on something larger than a doll's quilt. A wall hanging perhaps.

I've been reading up on the Amish in order to get some of my homesteader mojo back. Most everything I read has a decidedly positive or negative slant. I guess there is lots of variation in Amish communities and even in families.

The garden is going to have to dry out a lot more and then I'll put in peas and lettuce. I pick up blueberry plants April 16.

Time to order chicks!

Spring

It's really warm. The snow is melting fast making everything soggy. Days of rain did not help.

I saw my first Red Winged Blackbird of the season yesterday!

Saw my first Killdeer today. We've also been seeing geese recently.

It took me a year but I finished my first pair of socks.
