I took my new Red Bear, Ralph, outside for a little bit.
I wanted to sit with the birds before another winter storm came in.
I spent an hour listening to the birds, reading my book and thinking about my next hand sewing.
When we came home from our afternoon walk
I saw my first Crocus in bloom.
The herald of Spring in my gardens.
I finished another collar last night.
I had a tiny bit of shaping left to do this afternoon.
These look so nice with sweaters.
They are knitted wool scarves that I felted.
I used large coat buttons I found
in my Grandmother's button box.
I put down my book
and needles.
I sat with Crocus.
I watched as she
closed her petals for the night.
