First Signs of Spring

Yesterday two long-time fiber friends from the La Crosse area, Joyce and Gladys, stopped by to pick up a few tidbits and visit.  As they were leaving I walked with them outside.  I looked up and saw my first robins of the season flying overhead.  They perched themselves overhead in a tree and allowed me the opportunity for a photo.

The first robins bring spring greetings.

A trip down to the barn to feed the creatures introduced me to a few more robins.  Again, I took the opportunity to capture the moment and snap a photo of this bird perched on the barren branches with the bright blue sky in the background.

Spring is just around the corner!

While I had my camera in hand, I snapped a shot of my favorite feline companion to introduce her to you!  I saved her life when she was a kitten and we’ve been best buddies ever since!

Today brought Brenda and Kathy from Minnesota for a visit.  I met Brenda in a class I taught at Sievers School of Fiber Arts.  She fell in love with dyeing and has been creating a colorful storm since then.  Brenda and Kathy have teamed up to start their business in dyed fibers, rovings, felting, and knitting patterns and kits.  Brenda’s mittens are a true treasure!  Jim and Marilyn stopped by later to talk weaving.  We have a wonderful fiber community here and once again this weekend I was reminded of that!
