Keeping busy waiting for spring

Spring is coming.  pussywillows are popping out.  Soon they will be blooming and hopefully the bees will be back and swarming all over them.  There were not many bees last year but maybe they will be better this year.
What do you do on these rainy days?  Well, there are lots of things to do.  The Senior Center Art Class keeps me very busy one afternoon a week, will post our latest triumphs on photos.  This time we did an angel fish with black markers.  It ended up quite dynamic and we were all astonished at the effect.  Then, last week we attempted to draw a Lion and a cartoon Lion.  Well, most of them actually looked like a lion and for this we are very thankful.    Today I made dresser scarves out of some material that I had got at a garage sale last summer.  Just take lace and sew on the edges and that makes a really nice scarf for dressers and night stands.  I like to use quilted material, then if you spill something like lotion or whatever it kind of just soaks in.  While making these I cut out several and will work on them one at a time.  Have you looked out the window today?  The grass is getting greener again and yesterday the woods was full of singing birds.  Wonderful!!   This has been a bad time for me with regard to flat tires.  Last week, the Jeep had a flat tire right in the garage so had to call good old Triple A, that one had something it it and White's got it all fixed up and back on the Jeep.  Then, as spring is coming, thought would check out the John Deere.  Well, guess what?  It had two flat tires so since it had not had much care for several years, just called John Deere to take it in and fix it all up.  I have lots of trees to trim and lots of leaves to haul in my little red wagon back to the woods and need the John Deere.  Flower beds need to be cleaned off, have to go to Landmark and get 19-19-19  Fertilizer and bag of Lime and put on all of the dirt in flower beds so the spring rains can soak it in and make them grow all summer.  Then, will wait and see just what comes up and then just plant annuals around the perennials.  Herbs are growing already, especially Chives and Catnip.  Well, let us hope for a sunny day tomorrow.
