Hope Springs Eternal

 Hello Again.

It's been a pretty dull around here, as usual.

Jim and I did venture out to do all our shopping on Monday.  We thought it would be less crowded and boy, were we wrong...there were so many people at every stop...Walmart was the worst...I've never seen the back up at the registers like it was that day.  We also went to JoAnn's and Michaels because I need some DMC floss.  Then Costco and Safeway...I think we're set for a while.

Yesterday was just a lazy day, dinking around the house.  Doing some cleaning, laundry, questing.  You know, the usual stuff.  I did work on a free project that I found on allpeoplequilt.com, it's called "Winter's Welcome" by Kim Diehl.  Hopefully I'll finish it today.

Today I've been cleaning out the Goldfinch feeders that I brought in during the Fall....don't want to rush into anything!!  I don't know why I fill these up each and every Spring when the Goldfinches return.  I have had one (1) Goldfinch.  Have I mentioned that the American Goldfinch is our state bird?  It is!!  My sweet sister, Cindy, sends me photos of her feeders loaded finches!!  I'm sure she does it to make me happy?!

So my hope must spring eternal because I keep putting the feeders out every year with their favorite food!

I have a couple of recent cross stitch finishes.

But it's time to put the needles away and get back to quilting!  I have two precious Great grand girls who have been waiting way too long for their quilts...bad grandma!!

Well, that's it for today...I hope you are all well and staying safe!!
