WINTER'S FLOWERS

Walking outdoors in the summer - there's so much to look at and smell.  
Everyone's gardens are blooming, and lawnmowers are putting that 
great fresh-cut grass scent in the air.

Walking in the winter is a whole different story 
with only the skeletons of summer left behind, and the cold has a smell 
that's unmistakable. 

But cut a sprig from a pine at any time of year and that tangy, fresh scent 
reminds you there is life outdoors, even in winter.



Winter tames man, woman, and beast.
-William Shakespeare

IT"S COLD OUTSIDE!

Yesterday was a fun day.  I spent some time at my old school reading to little ones and seeing some great friends.   That was followed by a long, leisurely lunch with two special book-loving friends, then a long talk in a coffee shop with one of my favorite people.

Today, the wind is blowing and it just sounds cold!  So today I'm staying home and making mittens.  I've been piling up my woolen scraps for awhile now and the weather, and my emptying hand lotion bottle, are telling me it's time.  I'm using the mitten pattern here, so YOU could make them too!

Stay tuned . . .
