The sewing machine is smiling at me saying "Come here, honey, Let's get started on a new quilt." And the stack of old blue jeans that I have dismantled lay near by ready to be torn into strips. My idea is to make a quilt of old blue jeans for my grandson. I think I will have to get someone else to quilt it...it is just too hard on my back and my small machine. The other calling project is to start slapping some paint around on canvas. I've done a little collaging this week but so little real art in way too long. It is time...I'm going to have to cut down on my social life and meetings that I attend to plunge head long into all this and still get meals on the table and laundry done. As I get older, everything seems to take longer than it used to or maybe I'm just taking more time to smell the roses along the way. But before I get started on any of this, I have to get our taxes done...oh, lovely, right?
Spring is around the corner. The pink magnolia in the front yard has swollen buds that are on the verge of popping open with its gorgeous pink blossoms. The azaleas are lagging behind due to our cold winter. I will ply them with some food now that we are past frost in hopes that they will burst with their usual fuschia display. The tropical plants all took a beating but dear Victor has come and cleaned all the dead stuff away and hopefully there is enough green left that we will enjoy some recovery.
