February

 I have been staying busy, but Lordy, don't know what exactly has kept me busy.  My buddy finished her wreath.  Very pretty! Below is my flying geese quilt, one of two for the Twin beds.  Sorry about not rotating this one.
 This is a better overall picture.  I am so happy with the outcome!  I also have been making a baby quilt for my sister's great grand baby and trying to sort through stuff.  Stuff....you know that amount of accumulation over the years.  The Mr. and I will celebrate our 52nd this month and believe me, we have both accumulated a bunch!  I remember when my parents decided to sell their place where they had lived for 40 years and they just had an auction and took off.  They had spent a few years traveling in a small travel trailer and decided to settle in New Mexico.  It was a world away from where my father had always lived.  We have been so blessed to have had such a long retirement so far and intend to have many more years, but we also need to downsize.  So we have begun to think about what we will do.  I realized that I have too much stuff and need to prioritize my "accumulations".
This year we have had so much snow and we have been unable to keep one side of our driveway open as the wind blows the snow shut constantly.  Our whole division has had difficulty keeping our roads open this winter. If it weren't for the trusty (sometimes) snowblower, and the Mr's ability to still keep it running,  we would be stranded.  I am ready to have someone else do walks and yard work.
Enough of complaining.  I may not be blogging as much now, but stay tuned.
