Joyce: I think this is pretty. Did you applique the circles? What are the post card for? You have to be good to work with such small things. Joyce

I got on here to catch up on #6 before getting to the new thread #7. Wow! You all took #6 out on a roll, didn't you? Funny stuff - we all need to laugh every day, right? Thanks!
We got a little snow last night, but today the sun came out, warmed it up and melted it all quickly! Even Kris would like it that way, it was pretty early this morning after it finally quit!! I'm glad, because tomorrow starts the workshop in Harrison, several of us will be driving over every week, and don't need any ice on the roads!
Carol, we didnt get any here in my neck of the woods, we are what 2 hours away from each other?

So pretty, Leslie! Thanks for sharing. I have to say my mouth dropped open at the thought of daffodils in February.

First flowers....
The patio table stands ready for the first picnic...
LOL

Carol, beautiful picture. I bet the view is beautiful anytime of the year. I would love to live in the country again but have to stay in the suburbs to be close to doctors. Bummer.
Sukochi, love the postcard. I've heard of them but not seen them. Do people actually mail them? It's too pretty.
Today I got the new windows in my sewing room and one window eliminated and made into a solid wall so I can put up my design wall. I want to find an energy efficient heater so I can move back into that sewing room and get out of the bedroom. I just have no room in there. Oh, Indy got a doggy door. It was funny watching him go in/out. He was making sure it worked.
I'm almost finished with the first donated quilt to the retreat center in AZ. Just have to sew binding to back and create a label. One down, 11 to go!! Actually most of the tops are made. It's just a matter of quilting them all. Got my Christmas quilt back from the long arm....can't wait to get the binding on it.
That was my day. Got another sinus infection and on second round of antibiotics with steroids. It was that or a vacation in the hospital...doctor's words, not mine. I don't like taking steriods but I suppose it's better than hospital. My hair falls out tho. Why can't it fall out on my legs? Not fair.
Hugs.
Carol, what a beautiful view you have, and I love your gazebo.
Nancy, what kind of flowers are those and what are we having for the picnic LOL
Linda, you are now, as always, in my prayers. Feel better soon.
I mailed this post card nekked. Which means just like it is, with not covering. I usually put them in a cellaphane sleeve with a closure that has adhesive on it, like an envelope. If there is something on it that could get torn off, I used a bubble wrap envelope. I sent one to my DS2 for her Valentine birthday. She got it yesterday, and, called to say she just loves it. It is hanging on her Fridge. Same place I keep important mail, or pictures I want to keep.

Picnic menu -
Appetizer: fried snow bunting bitesEntree: BBQ snowshoe hare on a bunDessert: snow cones
The flowers are, of course, from the "snow plant" sarcodes sanguinea
Snow plant is a fleshy, glandular-hairy saprophyte lacking chlorophyll with simple stems either solitary or in clusters growing to 20" tall from a thick, brittle root. The leaves are scale-like, lanceolate, more numerous toward the base and ciliate on the margins.
Carol this is a beautiful view.

We haven't seen any daffodils yet but my crocuses have been blooming for weeks. I also have lilies poking their noses out of the ground.

Just so long as those snow cones aren't yellow, MNnancy! LOL
My DH decided to bring me a special valentine today (We rarely do anything to mark the day as our anniversary is so close). He bought me the most beautiful bouquet of a doz. white roses in celephane and a very sweet card. When I opened the celephane cone to trim them up, the leaves started falling off. I gave them a gentle little shake to dislodge the straglers and the petals all showered down, too!! Before I knew it, I was holding a handful of nearly nude sticks, and the floor was covered with pretty pile of foliage and blooms.... Poor Hubby. He tried so hard!! He looked so broken hearted that his gift fell to pieces in my hands. I convinced him it wasn't a disaster but a new memory (which I'll treasure) and we all had a great laugh over it. I gathered up all those perfect petals and put them in a pretty bowl in the center of the table, where I can enjoy them for a little while at least.
Quilters are people who strip so they won't go topless.
In my neighborhood, the sunny side of road has crocus and daffodils, the shadier areas have crocus and stems. My property is kinda split in 2. The naturalizing I did at edge of woods has hundreds of daffodils planted.
Hope everyone has a heartful day tomorrow. Homeschoolers are having a big party. Maddie is so excited. They use a local church fellowship hall. Should be fun.
