April showers bring May snows

 With this snow being the heaviest since the May 12th snow in 1814, the spring flowers are probably not going to survive.  Because the birds have arrived in throngs, the poor hummers are struggling to find nectar and above this little guy is at least able to feed even though the sugar water is thick, but not frozen because it has so much sugar.  Out front, the birds have sought shelter in the branches of the pine tree and we do keep the feeders full. But gardening?..That may be questionable.
 In an attempt to get out of this winter funk, I have assembled a few of the thrift store items we purchased last month to begin to plan some of our projects.  Pictured above are the wooden balls for our wooden garden angels and the cake pans for stepping stones and candles for the wine glass projects. As the Mr. and I worked at cleaning out the garage, I found enough wood for some of the projects but will have to get more.
I took this picture a few minutes ago from my sewing room balcony door window....when will it end?
With flooding, fires, tornadoes and blistering heat in other places, I should be thankful that we don't have worries about those things, but really?  Enough!!!
