Waiting for the other shoe to drop.....

Well...it's March 20th and the temps are 67 - 75 for the past week, continuing for the remaining few days. Is this the March that will come in like a lamb, out like a lion or just the opposite? We've had undeniably warm weather since January, the lake never froze over completely, Joe's Pond will probably have an earlier than early unfreeze. What is happening has been a dilemma to the forecasters and I actually think the animals are a bit confused. BUT......I'm loving every minute of this warmer, sunny weather and as soon as I complete my last granddaughter's quilt....I will indulge myself with all sorts of outdoor splendor. Spring....I'm ready for you!!! Please don't drop the other shoe......

Yes....this is the last granddaughters quilt. Five granddaughters...five quilts and each one has been a labor of love to make. Each one has had their favorite color whether purple, pink, purple, pink and yes......muti-colored bandanas............they are all loved. Each girl has their own unique personality and their own mind-set. They follow no one....they are their own leader. They all show their compassion for life in different venues....from TaeKwondo - ballet - theater - horseback riding - girl scouts - and yes, even cooking and sewing. Each is unique!!!

When my time on earth is finished, I only hope that they will remember their grandma with love and know that I was always there for them if they needed a soft shoulder for crying, a loving hug anytime it was needed (and then some). The girls have given me so much unconditional love and I could not be any more proud of them. I love Emma, Grace, Melody, Nora and Noelle to the moon and back, from here to eternity and forever and ever. I love my kids and you all are an extension to those feelings. HUGS...........XOXOXOXOXO
