The month of April isn't beautiful in Wisconsin. It's pretty drab. The fire danger kites up after the snow is gone and before the green shows up. Everybody believes in April, though. It's like the moment of hush before the first song on Sunday morning at church. You know that spring is right there... Half… Continue reading Seeing Beauty
I've been thinking about perceptions and good judgement this week. I wonder about these things often, but this week especially, because I have a head cold and it's affected my hearing significantly. That ridiculous tornado siren on the firehall next door didn't bother me at all yesterday. I often run into an inner room and… Continue reading Hush and Poor Judgement
Oh well, let it be then. Will spring be spring with no winter preceding? Let's find out. There are pussy willows on my table, Thank You, Abbey. That's better than snow, anyway, since it's March now.

It's springtime now. The grass greens a bit when it rains and the spring bulbs are all coming up blades of green. Brad went to Nebraska and we miss him. We miss him for him. We also miss him for his chores. When Elv brings in firewood he makes a good job of it to last… Continue reading Spring Stuff
The Pussy Willows are out/blooming/in evidence. So now we have a down payment of spring in hand. And I have discovered how to combat wasting time being sick. This crocheting project is just the thing. Anybody need a large table doily? The husband and son are impressed: husband that I am not bored, and son… Continue reading Pussy Willow and Lace
