Leaping into February!

 
Just turned the calendar page for February
and LOVE the caption for this LOVE month on the doorstep.


...  and, there were tulips at the grocery store today!!!




What could be better?
A sure sign of Spring to come.


Looking back over the past few weeks in January,
there were some good "stormy" days which allowed for
a bit of quilt piecing.
A difficult pattern for a novice like me.
Fabric and pattern donated by a friend.
I've dubbed it "Storm Daze".
Hoping to donate this one to the MCC Relief Sale auction?

It's at the quilters!

If nothing else, it sure got my quilting "mo-jo" going.
I have two more that are in the works so I may need just a few more snowy days?




Our pastor had us pick a "word for the year" the other Sunday
and mine was the word HARMONY.

A hymn sing last weekend, learning songs from the new Voices Together
Hymnal was a good start for this special word.
Thanks Ruth for inviting me to the Menno Singers event.
A "lonely heart" warming service of beautiful Harmony.

Today I spent time with a dear friend Kathy.
We shopped, lunched, ordered Theatre Tickets
for the coming season,
and it felt like a good way to start a new month.

Income tax prep is under way,
the home office is getting some new decor,
the grandchildren have a PA day tomorrow
(spa time has been ordered)
and...
The weather man is promising sunshine this weekend!

Not so great, however, for the beautiful outdoor rink that is melting.

My favourite little hockey players!



I can't wait to see what February has in store.



Till next time - how is your leap year month shaping up? I'll be striving to "Live in the Light".

  2. In the 'Light' is the best place to be. That quilt is amazing! Well done. That hockey player shot is so sweet. We have a leap year birthday in my growing up family so that is always special. Happy February to you!

  3. So much good in this post: tulips brightening your home, time with a friend, beautiful quilts. And so much to look forward to: theater plans, special days with the grands, an office refresh . . . and sunshine (we have had a serious lack of that here)! Happy February to you!

  5. I always breathe a big sigh of relief when February comes along and one way to celebrate is to buy a bunch of tulips! ❤️

  7. Harmony! I really like that. The quilt is beautiful and such cute hockey players. Oh, and the fun of a few new decor items and some fun times with a friend. Love you.

Hope for the Season

  First Snow! November 14-16 held some "bench visits" with the Leis family, to commemorate that day/week 3 years ago! We miss him ...
