It's a dismal day here too. I still have snow to melt but nowhere near as much as there was before. The yard is such a mess from the ice storm we had in December. With constant snow since then, none of it could be picked up. We lost one big tree but had no damage from it. My azalea and my two burning bushes have suffered major damage. My quince too I think. We had to have someone come to shovel the snow off the roof. Landlord was afraid of collapse. They came when we weren't here and dumped all that heavy snow on the shrubs. I'm so sad. But nature has healing ways and I'm hoping we can save some. My quilting is going well. Right now I'm handpiecing a small Grandmother's Garden piece for a dear friend. I made her a tablerunner about four years ago and she asked me last week if I could make her something small for her table . I STILL had some pieces of the original material so this seemed like a good way to learn the pattern. It's fun....
