I Like Thursday # 162 ~ Signs of Spring

 Signs of Spring ~ 2023.

It has been gray and stormy off and on here,

but these beautiful little flowers have braved the wind and weather.

How can I not do the same?

Today is 

I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color 

This week LeeAnna asked us if we have a special traditions for Easter.

We have one: 

getting together as a family to celebrate rebirth and renewal.

It does not matter what we do, what we eat, 

how we manage our get together.

Our celebration shall be modified by the current state 

of our home improvement projects 

and the fact we are far flung across the country.

Our feast will be modest.

Our get together will include an online meeting.

We will celebrate life, renewal, redemption,

 and being together.

May you and yours find joy and love and peace together.

May you be safe and well.

May you have a Happy Easter Weekend!

1st day of Spring 2023 ~ Crochet Collage Motif # 3

Today is the first day of Spring in my little  corner of the world!

It was a day of sunlight and some shadow.

The snow is still melting. 

It is mud season and the winter debris fills our yard.

There will be much to be done when the weather gets a little warmer.

Most of my day was spent inside sipping tea and playing with my hooks and yarn.

It was cool and there was a cooler wind blowing but the sun was shining on my glass kitchen door warming the room and brightening my day.

Early this morning I had an appointment to keep with my gynecologist

and that was also sunshine and shadow.

The doctor did a biopsy sample to send to the lab.

I should have the results next week.

It is an an area near where I have been biopsied years ago and that was negative.

I am hopeful that this test will be negative, too.

Think of me and and add me to your prayers and healing wishes, my friends.

Here is my Motif #3 from the Spring Awakening section of the

Crochet Cottage Garden book by Chris.made.this

This seemed the perfect choice for the day.

Daffodils are some of my favorite spring flowers.

Ours will not be blooming for a few weeks yet.

I am using yarn that I have and the yellow is a bit bulkier than the orange

and I have a long way to go until my stitches are as even as the one in the book, 

but I am happy with my little flower today. 

May you and yours have a Happy Spring!
