February started out with snow still on the ground.
This is a weird photo because I took it through the window and it's also through the screen porch.
Deer up close to the house and making a meal out of an Azalea bush.
Not a good time of year for pruning that!
I know...not a great photo but I didn't want to scare them.
I did get an official letter in the mail. There was a meeting to decide if a local builder would be approved to build 48 condos there.
The answer is yes, it was approved.
I've lived here since 1986...so that's 40 years of privacy with that big open field on that side. The change is upsetting. I started looking online at homes (for me) for sale on Sattelite Beach Florida, but I know I wouldn't really make the move there.
Well, let's replace those depressing thoughts with something more pleasant.
My Witch Hazel is blooming.
One of the first things to bloom each year, it is a delight.
We share the room with another group, Sew Busy, which works out fine. They do a different project each month and they said we are welcome to join in and do the project too.
This month, though, we were trimming and arranging blocks for our group donation quilt. With blocks made by all our members, we have enough for 2 small quilts.
Small, because we will donate them to a nursing home and they need quilts that can be used by someone in a wheel chair.
My friend Izzy took one home to sew together and I brought home the other to do the same.
I have a few rows sewn together.
So the month started with cold and snow but ended with a couple of nice warm days.
I sat out on the back porch a couple of afternoons and crocheted.
I put a patio cushion down for Puss to have a little snooze nearby.
We're only 3 weeks away from first day of spring!
