Things are greening up.

 The sun is shinning and the birds are chirping happily

outside my window. Another perfect spring day.

Yesterday Brad my grandson hauled 5 pick-up loads of

branches and leaves to the burn pile. The rabbits and deer

did lots of damage this past winter. The rhodadendums

did not survive our harsh winter either.

 The sun shines on and life will continue without

them. The white pines are always constant and

I love the sun shinning through them.

Wednesday I go to Fine Line in Saint Charles, Illinois

for a 3 day class with Jane Dunnewold.

I plan on having a great time and getting

very messy with dyes and paint.

Now to finish packing. I am the woman who

brings everything but the kitchen sink to a class.
