One of my very favorite days of the year

Crocheted Christmas scarves 

Watercolor evening sky

There's a beautiful sliver of moon behind the branches.

First good snow of the season

Working on a wreath for the door with Clementine

Our Nebelung friend

Navajo Churro fleece

Raw wool.  I don't remember the breed, but it's very soft and springy.

Unwashed  and washed. 

It's really soft and lovely. Still a bit of vegetable matter, but this should come out easily.

Bird bath

Very special azalea  blooming after several years. I wonderi why the buds would form, then fade away...?  So glad it's back, happy and beautiful!

Though it hasn't a strong perfume, it has a certain sweet "air" about it.

Brand new baby spiders.

Volunteer indigo seedlings between the bricks,

 I'll try transplanting some of these

 The madder patch is waking up.

 The bloodroot surprised me yesterday afternon.

 How amazing the way the flower buds push right through the earth!

Each wrapped in a leaf.

 The snowdrops are almost done.

 These seem like early spring colors.

 On Friday it was 80 degrees, sunny and very windy.

 I spent the day clearing out old dried up branches, stems and leaves  from the awakening garden.

I practiced felting a scarf made from Navajo Churro fleece with a base of merino wool. These pictures are bad, but the fleece scarf is shaggy, curly and beautiful.

Today is cold, snowy and fresh.

 Yesterday evening's moon, rising softly in the east.

 A little later there was a ring around it with snow clouds moving in.

This morning the clematis is furred with flakes.

 The geese are visiting the schoolyard.

 Overdyeing some marigold yellow threads with indigo.
