Quilters are such visual people and we love colour and pattern; figuring out the intricacies of how patterns go together and choosing just the right colours of cloth to go into our quilts. This morning in Southern Ontario, Canada is very overcast, at least in the hills and valleys of where I live. The temperatures have risen into the sixties farenheit, which for most of us is like letting the sheep out of the barn door after a long winter of being closed up in the barn. But, the downside is that our bodies are not always ready for such an abrupt change from cold to warm and nights become stuffy with humid air that we sometimes long for the cold weather to return. And, it will. It is still early April which means very inconsistent weather patterns. My Adirondack chair is already outside on the porch and sitting in the late afternoon sun makes me drowsy.


I am currently working on a request for the donation of another of my dog grooming aprons from an Aussie breeder in Michigan, Thornapple Australian Shepherds. The bib is appliqued with the head of an Aussie (dog); a blue merle puppy. It is for the USASA Junior Handlers show in May.


The gerbera daisy is by JonKatz.

Worms, cats; squirrels, cats; mice, cats; chipmunks, cats....Bee, your post reminds me of our last cat, MacDuff, the world-famous hunter of small animals which he would delight in bringing to the feet and attention of our B&B guests. If they were city-folks, it was never appreciated.

What a beautiful photo of the daisy. The colors are so pure and bright, that they make me feel happy just to look at them.

We had a record high of 80 degrees on Saturday. I know exactly what you mean about our bodies not acclimating so quickly to the abrupt change of these warmer temperatures. We had to turn on the A/C, while the heat was running only a few days earlier.
