Spring Thoughts

It looked like spring yesterday; it looked like spring this morning; but it certainly doesn't look like spring right now. We are in the middle of a snowstorm and weather watch for Calgary and area (I know, I last posted after a snowstorm also).
I am thinking thoughts of spring, so I thought I would show some blocks that I made.

I love to create, so I made this set of blocks to remind myself of what I love to do! I taught these blocks as a class, and my friend Jenn brought the lovely accessories, so I could create a fun photo shoot with the blocks! I am teaching these blocks in a class here in my studio on May 15th.

Think Spring!! Think Spring!! The consolation about this snowfall is that the tulips are up about 4 inches, and I have hyacinths ready to bloom. Now as long as they don't freeze ... The snow is great moisture for the grass ... and the weeds!!

Here is a unique Easter bunny shot! My silly bunnies wouldn't pose for an Easter shot - this is the best one we got! I think the fact that there were three excited children chasing them around the porch didn't help! Did I mention that my bunnies love weeds - especially the dandelion variety! They got their first taste last week, as I found a 2 inch dandelion growing out of a crack in the sidewalk. I am carefully growing a few others. Last year, I had the great idea to dig out each dandelion for the bunnies (I had 4 bunnies then, and used a lot of dandelions). It was great - my yard looked better than it had in years ... until the dandelions ran out (poor bunnies)! My mother told me this year, just to trim the tops off, so I'd have dandelions for them all summer!! Yes, I know, most civilized people have a garden plot for human consumption - mine will be for bunnies!!!

Take care and stay warm!
