WELCOME MARCH... I'm so happy that March is finally here and as usual, I'm late at welcoming it.
My thoughts has turned to rug hooking has the sun is warming up my hooking room.
I dyed some wool a Khaki green in different batches and even though I stirred the wool while it simmered in the dye bath and I stirred also after the vinegar was added before I put back the wool in the pot and I stir some more several times, it still comes out a bit blotchy. I'll be working from what I have and we'll see how it turns out. Usually I want a blotchy wool but this time I was trying for a more uniform color. I'll show you my progress when I have enough to show
I needed to do some more shovelling on the big deck a few days ago for obvious reasons...
This is a view from the sunroom in the back. It was difficult to open the screen door as the snow was packed against it.
I managed to shovel to the Bar B Q and the snow was higher than the rail. No trees budding yet in our area...
********************************************
I ponder a lot as I work and today I thought that I would share my reflexion with you.
This morning as I was caring for my calves, it dawned on me that we have seasons in our own personal lives just like we have seasons in nature.
Spring is when we are young and everything is new and beautiful and we have no worries and depend on our parents for all our needs. We can't wait to be old enough to do what we can't do because we are too young...
We are in our Summer when we start to be on our own. We have arrived. We are sure footed and go about our lives without worry of ever getting old and feeble.... We are more interested in living life without worrying about the future.
Then as we start to get older and notice we are not as spry as we used to be, wrinkles are showing up everywhere, hair gets thinner, we are in our Autumn. We realize that we didn't get everything done that we could or should have done....
When we really slow down and are aware that we won't live for ever and are full of aches and pain, our senses are diminished and we can't go back, we get slower and slower and the end is in sight, we become aware that we are in our Winter.
I'm sure you can add to this but this was my reflexion this morning.
We all have to go through our seasons one at a time just like mother Nature. Enjoy today the best you can.
Thanks for visiting and leaving your lovely comments. I really appreciate them.
