February was the hottest month here since "they" started keeping records.
Bodes ill for summer.
March has come in with rain... all weekend and most of the week.
But it was a nice rain, slow steady raindrops and about 4 - 6 inches worth.

It's March and thoughts have turned to Spring!
I've been slowly finding my Easter decorations.
My favorite Easter Bunnies.

They make me smile.
Sitting at the kitchen table
surrounded by some of my favorite things
is a great way to start the day!

Working on the Cottage Charm Afghan.
I bought the kit from Mary Maxim.
Nice yarn and the pattern is easy to follow.

Nice yarn and the pattern is easy to follow.
However, I've run out of yarn twice.
I'm a "tight" crocheter so I was a little surprised.
I had one more pink flower to make.
Thankfully, I had some yarn at home that was a close enough match.
Then I ran out of the green.
I had to go out and find a green yarn to match.
I now have enough of the green to make another afghan.
Feast or famine! Ha!
Now adding the blue to the squares and wondering if I will have enough yarn.

I started a "new to me" cozy mystery series by Laura Bradford.
They are set in Amish country -- Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
I visited the area some 15 years ago.
Came home with a Quillow (a blanket that folds into a pillow)
which is mentioned in the first Amish mystery Hearse and Buggy.
I thought Hearse and Buggy was one of the best first books in a cozy series I had read in a long time - so much so that I dashed out and bought the next four!
The books pictured here are the ones that I've read.
I like the characters, the story line, the mix of the "English" and Amish life styles.

The lovely teacup was a Christmas gift from one of my sister's by choice.
It is an Aynsley.
Aqua is one of my favorite colors.
Pretty waves on the cup and saucer with gold rims.
Fun spring-time flowers on the inside of the cup.
